Beschreibung

Steven Weinberg shares his candid thoughts, in his own words, on theoretical physics and cosmology, along with personal anecdotes and recollections of the people who helped shape his career. These memoirs of his life as a scientist and public figure cover his student days and early career, through the golden age of particle physics in the 1970s, his being awarded the Nobel prize, through to the end of the twentieth century. In addition to his research insights, Weinberg provides glimpses into his life in academia more broadly: dealing with the 'two-body problem', tenure, international conference travel, his book-writing, advisory work with JASON, and his advocacy for the Superconducting Super Collider. Physicists, historians of science and interested readers will find the presentation engaging and often witty, as Weinberg reflects on his life in physics.

Über den Autor

Steven Weinberg (1933-2021) held the Josey Regental Chair in Science at the University of Texas at Austin. A Nobel laureate in physics and National Medal of Science winner, he is recognized as one of the key architects of the Standard Model of particle physics. In addition to his ground-breaking research in fundamental physics and his science advocacy, he was a prolific author of both academic and popular-level books, widely celebrated for his exceptional physical insight and his gift for clear exposition.
