The World of Thinking

The Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) in Princeton, New Jersey, is a scientific sanctuary focused on deep thought and the exploration of the boundaries of human knowledge. It is the academic home of Albert Einstein, J. Robert Oppenheimer and John von Neumann. Since its foundation in 1930, the IAS has brought forth 33 Nobel Prize winners and 42 fields medalists. One does not apply to IAS, one gets invited. There are no degree programs or experimental facilities at the Institute. The faculty has no classes to teach. Nobody, who’s in the IAS, is required to do anything that they don’t want to do themselves. The purpose of being at the IAS is to imagine and discover something not existent and providing scientific proof. The World of Thinking follows four faculty members and post doctorates in the IAS as they fatigue to resolve problems that could change the way we understand the world today. Time and concentration are fundamental commodities in deep thinking and we discover that to play with consciousness is often a crucial factor when pushing the boundaries of human knowledge.
