It just may not ever be possible to fully lift it outside human triangles, into the realm of "icy bliss" the young physicist seeks.
For the most basic inquiries into the dynamics and structure of matter, space, and time, physicists seek the simplest kinds of interactions at the highest possible energies.
Yet few theoretical physicists believe general relativity a fundamentally accurate description of gravitation, and instead seek a theory of quantum gravity.
As a result, physicists are seeking evidence of "asymmetries," in which matter-antimatter encounters end up emitting more matter particles.
It may underlie the Theory of Everything that physicists seek to describe the universe.
Perhaps it seems surprising that physicists seek beauty," Alice comments, "but in fact they have no choice.
On a theoretical level, physicists seek a unified description of the interactions of all possible particles, even the most short-lived particles.
