Carlo Rovelli: “a splendid recognition in Parisi, he is a great scientist”

“It is a splendid recognition to a great scientist and also to the excellence of Italian theoretical physics. Giorgio Parisi has made very important contributions in very different fields of theoretical physics and best represents the strength of Italian culture: the ability to get out of specialization, see the real problems and open new directions to understand the world “. This was stated at Adnkronos by the physicist and professor at the University of Aix-Marseille, Carlo Rovelli, commenting on the awarding of the Nobel Prize in Physics 2021 to the Italian physicist Giorgio Parisi. “For any country, a Nobel Prize is always an opportunity to underline the importance of research”, underlines Rovelli regarding whether this award can give a further impulse to Italian research. “My hope is that Italy will finally open to young foreigners, in order to become what it deserves to be: one of the great centers for international research “, underlines Rovelli.
