Although human evolution rests on exceptional brainpower, the mental process is still a mystery. After all, how do the most brilliant minds of our time think? What drives them, which perils do they have to overcome and how do they push beyond all known boundaries? This documentary tries to find answers to these questions and follows five of the world’s most prominent scientists in their quest for a breakthrough, at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton (once Einstein’s home base). Featuring Nima Arkani-Hamed, Robbert Dijkgraaf and others.
Discussion afterwards with the audience and with dr. Servaas Kokkelmans, associate professor of Applied Physics at TU/e and scientific director of the Center for Quantum Materials and Technology Eindhoven QT/e.
