Dr. Gleiser is a Brazilian theoretical physicist and cosmologist, and a leading proponent of the view that science, philosophy, and spirituality are complementary expressions of humanity’s need to embrace mystery and the unknown. He specializes in particle cosmology, mixing the physics of the very smallest constituents of the universe with the physics of the universe as a whole. To make sense of the world and our place in the grand scheme of things, he studies the emergence of complex structures in nature, focusing on very fundamental questions related to what he calls the “three origins”: cosmos, life, and mind. In 2019 he received the Templeton Prize, which was for the first time awarded to a Latin American. He wrote several books which became bestsellers, and he participates also in television documentaries and radio programs and is very active in the promotion of science. The full title of the talk was "The Island of Knowledge: The Limits of Science and the Search for Meaning".
