The 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics
The Nobel Prize in Physics 2021 was awarded "for groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of complex systems" with one half jointly to Syukuro Manabe and Klaus Hasselmann "for the physical modelling of Earth's climate, quantifying variability and reliably predicting global warming" and the other half to Giorgio Parisi "for the discovery of the interplay of disorder and fluctuations in physical systems from atomic to planetary scales."
The prize for Manabe and Hasselmann is the first ever given to physicists working not only in climate research but even broader in geoscience. Syukuro Manabe, in the 1960s, proposed models of the atmosphere which included all vertical energy fluxes, both convective and radiative. Klaus Haselmann has shown mathematically, in the 1970s, how the presence of slowly changing elements of the climate system (mostly oceans but also cryosphere biosphere) must lead to the observed dominance of low frequencies in the spectra of most climate-related time series (“rednoise”).
Research of Manatabe and Hasselman will be presented by prof. Jacek Piskozub from the Institute of Oceanology, Polish Academy of Sciences in Sopot, Poland.
Georgio Parisi is one of the most creative and influential theoretical physicists in recent decades. His work has a large impact on different areas of physics, spanning the realm of particle physics (Altarelli-Parisi equations), growth processes (Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation), disordered systems (replica method for spin glasses, stochastic resonance in nonlinear systems), turbulence, immune system analysis or the dynamics of flocking birds. Common to most of these systems is that they are complex, where the whole is more than the sum of its parts. As Parisi himself says: "Most of the research that I have done is to get at this thing: how complex collective behavior may arise from elements that each have a simple behavior."
A short overview of the diverse work of Georgio Parisi will be given by prof. Piotr Szymczak from the Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw.
