About me

Antonio Marrone

Full Professor of Theoretical Physics

Università degli Studi di Bari “Aldo Moro” · INFN Sezione di Bari

Name: Antonio Marrone
Location: Bari, Italy
Position: Full Professor of Theoretical Physics
Subjects: Neutrinos, astroparticle physics

I work in theoretical physics at the University of Bari “Aldo Moro” and INFN Sezione di Bari. I was a researcher from 2005 to 2015, then associate professor until 2023, when I became Full Professor of Theoretical Physics. My research is on neutrinos. With the Bari group I work on global analyses of oscillation data, and on the questions those data leave open: the mass ordering, leptonic CP violation and the absolute mass scale.

Heart Sutra

Form is emptiness

All things are empty: Nothing is born, nothing dies, nothing is pure, nothing is stained, nothing increases and nothing decreases. So, in emptiness, there is no body, no feeling, no thought, no will, no consciousness. There are no eyes, no ears, no nose, no tongue, no body, no mind. There is no seeing, no hearing, no smelling, no tasting, no touching, no imagining. There is nothing seen, nor heard, nor smelled, nor tasted, nor touched, nor imagined. There is no ignorance, and no end to ignorance. There is no old age and death, and no end to old age and death. There is no suffering, no cause of suffering, no end to suffering, no path to follow. There is no attainment of wisdom, and no wisdom to attain.

Dependent origination

That which originates dependently Does not cease and does not arise, Does not come and does not go, It is not annihilated and not permanent. It is not different and not the same. Not from itself, not from another, Not from both, and not uncaused, Nowhere does anything Ever arise.
