Pedro Vieira: Seeking Simple Beauty in a Complex Cosmos

Pedro Vieira approaches physics the same way he approaches Samba—seeking rhythm, beauty, and simplicity. As a theoretical physicist at Perimeter Institute, he explores quantum fields and string theory, searching for the fundamental building blocks of the universe. By stripping away complexity, he finds elegant solutions that reveal deep truths about reality.

In this conversation, Vieira shares how his love for math, early inspiration from Einstein and Feynman, and a great high school teacher led him to physics. He discusses the universal language of quantum fields, the challenge of solving unsolved problems, and the excitement of discovering new tools to push our understanding further.
