Wilczek is also angry at the tech CEOs who have benefited from the scientific research that has enabled their technology empires, but have mounted no opposition to the cuts. He puts down his coffee and looks at me seriously. “People like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos are conspicuously silent. We should call them out,” he says. After a lifetime of climbing mountains, Wilczek’s view is nothing short of sublime. “A human lifetime is very limited in time and space, compared to the universe,” he says. “In a way, it is humbling, but it’s also a relief to know that there’s a larger structure of which we’re a part that is so grand. Our imperfections, our struggles, our travails, when you put them in perspective, they somehow don’t seem so traumatic.”
