Three quarks for Muster Murray! A conversation with Murray Gell-Mann at home Date: September 16, 2009 Run Time: 55 minutes Speakers: Murray Gell-Mann Topics: DOWNLOAD Audio: 487.mp3



In celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Santa Fe Institute and Murray Gell-Mann's eightieth birthday, TSN visited Murray to discuss life, the universe and everything.

Murray named the quark after the sound made by ducks. He took the spelling from a line in James Joyce's Finnegans Wake:

Three quarks for Muster Mark!

Sure he has not got much of a bark

And sure any he has it's all beside the mark.
