...most promising attempts to devise such a law was made by Physicists Yuval Ne'eman of Israel and Murray Gell-Mann of Caltech, with a contribution from Japanese-born Susumu Okubo of the University of Rochester...
Among the first attempts to make order out of this chaos was Caltech Physicist Murray Gell-Mann's theory, "The Eight-Fold Way." Gell-Mann lumped the known resonances together in orderly octets; their snowflake-like symmetries left slots for particles that were still unknown. But one octet seemed out of kilter. Unless, predicted Gell-Mann, a particle designated the phi-meson was found...
...losing their first meet of the to Kirkland House, Quincy went downing Leverett 32-18 in team's first encounter. Swimming stroke for Quincy will be Thomas gell '63. His time is about 34 . In the freestyle, Quincy will put I. Mayers '62, swimming in Thomas Lightbody '63 does the but-in 28, and in the backstroke is , whose time is a little under . These four also make up the relay team. Kenneth R. Brown, Jr. competes in the freestyle relay...
What's the Matter? "We," says Caltech's Theoretical Physicist Murray Gell-Mann, at 31 one of the brightest new stars of U.S. science, "think that one of the most exciting things the human race can do is to understand the laws of nature. It is sad that it is so hard for others to follow us in this chase...
...Gell-Mann compares the work of physics to cleaning out a cluttered basement. "Once the debris has been swept away," he says, "the basement's outline can be seen." This always happens in physics, but there is one hitch: "Somebody has discovered over in a corner a trap door, leading to a subbasement. First we had to learn about atoms, but when we got atoms cleared up, we found a trap door to the next subbasement, the atomic nucleus, which was then completely unknown. Now that this is being swept out a bit, the next trap door leads us into...
