Prof. Dr. Michelangelo Mangano - CERN

Heinrich Hertz Lecture 2025

The relation between visible and invisible emerges
in many areas, from art to science, from religion
to philosophy. In this lecture, starting from the
pioneering role of Heinrich Hertz in „making the in-
visible visible“, I highlight the role that “invisibles”
have played and play in the development of modern
physics while understanding the nature of matter
and forces at the fundamental level. This is accom-
panied by references to the work of Salvador Dalí,
the most famous artist to have been influenced by
physics in his own exploration of the “invisible”.
