Steven Weinberg was a giant of our field. Without a single doubt, he was one of the leading and most influential figures in particle physics during the second half of the twentieth century. He played a key role in the making of the Standard Model (SM) of elementary particles, the theory that describes three of the four forces in Nature, the strong, the weak and the electromagnetic interactions.

Jul 25, 2021 · Steven Weinberg’s knowledge of various philosophical questions on display were impressive. Probably one can characterize his thinking as ‘positivist’. In the late 1980s, there were serious efforts at building a superconducting super collider (SSC) in Texas, proposed by Leon Lederman, Nobel laureate of ‘God Particle’ fame.
