Surely one of the most massive names in modern physics. RIP.
massive
I’m so happy he lived to see the discovery of the particle and the confirmation of his theory
It’s really quite astonishing.
Speaks to how quickly technology can advance over one’s lifetime and how much of a pioneer scientists are.
People will say his name for as long as our civilisation lasts. Like Volta, Ampere or Watt.
Tesla, Newton, Coulomb, Faraday
Albert Einstein, Immanuel Kant, Ron Jeremy, Mia Khalifa
...what were we doing again?
I thought we were about to break out into a verse of "We Didn't Start the Fire"
Just not the Fall Out Boy version, hopefully. They write it in chronological order.
TIL there was a Fall Out Boy version
He fixed the standard model of particle physics. He was also the reason why this was built to prove his theory.
Godspeed, I hope you get to meet your particle.
I studied his work over 20 years ago. I had no idea he was alive at the time. I just figured he long gone like all the other pioneers.
I just got my master's in physics, I also just assumed he was long dead.
Ok, now who will inherit all those bosons?
