As a child, Vafa was fascinated by puzzles and even incorporated them into his physics course for freshmen students at Harvard where he has taught theoretical physics since 1985. “Puzzles can unravel mysteries of the universe and illustrate the simplicity of physical laws and the elegance of mathematics,” said Vafa.
In this interview, David Zierler, Oral Historian for AIP, interviews Cumrun Vafa, Hollis Professor of Mathematicks and Natural Philosophy in the Department of Physics at Harvard. Vafa surveys the current state of the field in string theory, and he recounts his upbringing in Iran and his family’s goal for him to pursue education in the United ...

Public Lectures. What is string theory? String theory is an attempt by theoretical physicists to find a unified fundamental theory of nature that merges quantum mechanics with Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity. String theory provides a framework to unify everything we know about nature, including all particles and the forces between them ...
