Interview with the 2004 Nobel Laureate in Physics, David J. Gross, in September 2008. The interviewer is Adam Smith, Editor-in-Chief of Nobelprize.org.

David Gross explains why Israel was a good location for a budding scientist, why theoretical physics needed a revolutionary approach in the 1960's (7:46), why a beautiful and simple theory still "can't be solved on the back of an envelope" (18:09) and why ill-defined intuition needs to be trusted (26:45). He also clarifies why there is a pending crisis in scientific enquiry (34:26), why part of his job is going back to school (38:48), and why students need to learn to ask questions, not answer them (52:06).

Interview with two of the 2004 Nobel Laureates in Physics, David J. Gross and Frank Wilczek, 9 December 2004. The interviewer is Joanna Rose, science writer.

The Laureates talk about their discovery and the experiments behind it, the importance of formulating the right questions (9.46), problems still to be solved (11:27), their thoughts about string theory (13:49), and about being awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics (23:03).
