A crowd of 1,000 filled the Wharton Center’s Great Hall to hear the renowned scientist. Kleppner said he hopes by the year 2100, the understanding of matter - a century-long journey thus far - will lead to several key discoveries. He said studies now will eventually lead to a standard molecular model, including mass and make-up, the origin of mass, understanding of quantum gravity and the origin of the universe. “I see a parallel between what is going on now and the 1920s,” Kleppner said.
