Professor Jim Gates on starships, string theory, and why he came to Brown

For Ford Foundation Professor of Physics Sylvester "Jim" Gates, all it took was seeing a sci-fi film as a child to spark his love for science. A world-renowned theoretical physicist, Gates talks about his childhood fascination with space, his work on supersymmetry and string theory, and why he thinks Brown is the perfect place to uncover answers to the universe's biggest questions.
