...that idea is being challenged by, among others, Physicists Steven Weinberg and Sheldon Glashow of Harvard and Pakistani Abdus Salam, winners of this year's Nobel Prize in physics for showing an underlying unity of two of nature's four basic forces: electromagnetism and the so-called weak force, which governs some forms of radioactive decay within the atomic nucleus. In carrying their work further to relate these two forces to a third -the strong force (which binds the atomic nucleus together)-they and other researchers determined that such unity requires a net loss of baryons when certain...

...PHYSICS: Sheldon Glashow, 46 (U.S.), Steven Weinberg, 46 (U.S.), and Abdus Salam, 53 (Pakistani), for their contributions to a theory that explains the relationship of two of nature's basic forces: 1) electromagnetism, which accounts for such phenomena as sunlight and radio waves, and 2) the weak force that governs the release of a beta particle from the nucleus of an atom in a process called radioactive decay...
...always hopes, but I didn't have any solid idea. That's the mystery of the Swedish Academy," Sheldon L. Glashow, professor of Physics, said this week, when the fates granted him a 1979 Nobel prize in phsyics...
