Nima Arkani-Hamed on Fundamental Science

On Wednesday, April 24, Nima Arkani-Hamed, Professor in the School of Natural Sciences, gave a special public lecture at Cornell University.

Arkani-Hamed's lecture, "What’s the Point of Doing Fundamental Science?," asked why we should dedicate financial and intellectual resources to questions of seemingly little practical importance when so many more obviously pressing problems remain unsolved.
