theoryofeverythingmagazine: “How strange it would be if the final theory were to be discovered in our lifetimes! The discovery of the final laws of nature will mark a discontinuity in human intellectual history, the sharpest that has occurred since the beginning of modern science in the seventeenth century. Can we now imagine what that would be like?”Today, we have lost one of, if not the greatest theoretical physicist of our era, profound teacher, extraordinary thinker and 1979 physics Nobel laureate, Steven Weinberg. He will be remembered through out history for his unification of the weak force and electromagnetic interaction between elementary particles into an electroweak theory together with Abdus Salam and Sheldon Glashow.Rest in peace Steven Weinberg (1933―2021) -- source link
