As part of the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (Iyq2025), for the hundred years of quantum physics and its applications, on Friday 30 May, from 18 to 20, a dialogue between science and culture, between science and literature with Silvina Ponce Dawson (University of Buenos Aires, president of International Union of Physics and and Applied Physics), Enrico Terrinoni (National Academy of Lincei and University for Foreigners of Perugia, Literary critic, translator and writer) and Giuseppe Mussardo (advanced high school Sissa, theoretical and historical physicist of physics).
Literary critic and writer, Enrico Terrinoni, translator among other things by Joyce, Wilde, Orwell, is the author of the book “Literature as a dark matter”, in which he makes an impossible parallel between Einstein and Joyce, on how they challenge, with different tools, the imponderable of the mysteries that move knowledge. A literary text “would be a dead letter if there was no reader who makes him live” and “in science, in particular in the relational interpretation of the quantum, something similar happens: only when the objects interact if the properties are seen, which are not to be considered, so to speak, intrinsic to things, but precisely relative, relational”, explains the scholar.
With him there will be, in fact, Giuseppe Mussardo, theoretical physicist, that quantum physics has used it and uses it daily and which is also very attentive to scientific communication and the history of physics, and Silvina Ponce Dawson, president of the IUPAP and members of the UNESCO steering Committee for Iyq2025. The event is attended by the actress Sara Alzetta with music by Emanuele Laterza. Moderates Paola Catapano, head of the communication of the CERN of Geneva.
The organizers of the event will close: Stefano Fantoni, president of the International Foundation of Trieste for the progress and freedom of the Sciences and Nicola Casagli, president of the National Institute of Oceanography and Experimental Geophysics. Fantoni recalled the 2000s, when he directed the interdisciplinary laboratory of the Sissa (Lis) and hosted a group of writers and scientists, coordinated by Claudio Magris to face “the theme of how science opens up to society and does not turn only to his experts. Science is a strong knowledge, today more than in the past”. Trieste will celebrate the centenary of the quantum from 27 to 31 May in 3 moments: the first, at the highest scientific level, with a conference from 27 to 30 to ICTP, with a dozen Nobel prizes for physics, including Giorgio Parisi; A second, at the Miela Theater with Facit Saltum nature, in fact; On May 31 in the Luttazzi room at Porto Vecchio, where quantum technologies will enter the scene with entrepreneurs who look to the future.
