...dream machine of particle physics," said harvard's Sheldon L. Glashow, Higgins Professor of Physics. The accelerator will operate at a higher energy than that of any collider now in existence, and will therefore be able to help scientists learn more about the fundamental structure of matter, Barrish said...
...that the physicist's distinguished career has been marred by manipulation, bullying and corner cutting. Taubes told TIME that in his opinion Rubbia "has made more mistakes than any major physicist of his era. He has a history of distorting and exaggerating his experimental results." Says Nobel Laureate Sheldon Glashow, a Harvard colleague of Rubbia's: "The book is a fair picture. I would make it required reading for anyone who wants to go into this field...
Even the highlight of Rubbia's career -- the discovery of the W and Z -- was accompanied by political machinations, says Taubes. Until late 1982 these subatomic particles were known only in theory -- the electroweak theory, which won Nobel Prizes in 1979 for Glashow and two fellow physicists. But someone still had to find concrete proof that the particles existed...
Sheldon L. Glashow, Nobel Prize Laureate and Higgins Professor of Physics, said he viewed his day-long fast as an act of sympathy with the movement. "Reagan has a unique opportunity to save the world, an opportunity no one has had since Jesus Christ. The Russians are prepared to cooperate and we should be too," Glashow said...
Perhaps all would be the wiser if they heeded the words of Nobel Laureate Sheldon Glashow, who refused to submit a list. "I care not for this cargo cult," he writes. "Books are cheap and readily available. To read is the thing, voraciously and eclectically. No guide is needed...
