Interview with Nima Arkani Hamed
Interview with Nima Arkani Hamed P.C. What were your biggest influences in deciding to do physics? Α.Η. As I grew up in a family of physicists, I have been fascinated by science, and especially the connection between mathematics and physics, since my childhood. For instance, I recall coming to the striking realization that Newton’s equations
