Chen Ning Yang, professor of Physics at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, described the events leading to his Nobel Prize-winning discovery of the non-conservation of parity at the first Morris Loeb Physics Lecture yesterday...
...lecture, "The Role of Symmetry in Physics," Yang showed the relation between his discovery and parallel examples in physics where the discovery of "symmetry" and "invariance" in a system led to a law of conservation within the system. He cited conservation of linear momentum and the conservation of angular momentum as examples...
...make composition carry it, is the Fogg Museum's Michael Binding Satan. The Archangel seems at first to be in command, but he himself is bound to the Dragon in a whirling struggle-as spirit is to matter, or day is to night. Recalling the Chinese symbol for Yang and Yin, the picture puts a cosmic interplay in concrete, dramatic terms...
...Yang, 34, was born in Hofei in Anhwei province, the son of a mathematician now teaching in Shanghai. He moved to Kunming when the Japanese invaded the north, and got his master's degree from National Tsinghua University. In 1945 he came to the U.S. (on a Tsinghua scholarship) and got his doctorate in 1948 at the University of Chicago. Since 1949 Dr. Yang has been a member of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, where his office has a single decoration, a small picture of Einstein...
...looks as if he might still be an undergraduate. He studied in various southern Chinese universities, but got no formal degrees. In 1946 he went to the University of Chicago on a Chinese government fellowship. He lived in International House with Dr. Yang, got his doctorate in 1950. A full professor of physics at Columbia University, Dr. Lee is now on leave to work at Princeton with Yang...
