The most important events in our and your superstringy Universe as seen from Lubo Motl's reference frame Arthur Jaffe and Barbara Drauschke organized a magnificent conference at Harvard - informally called Sidneyfest - to thank Sidney Coleman for everything he has done and he has been for physics and the physicists. Sidney, whose health is unfortunately not as good as we would wish, partially because of the Parkinson disease, has been a great physicist, an excellent teacher with unlimited patience, an eccentric human being, and a neverending source of jokes. He has also played the role of Wolfgang Pauli of his generation; he liked to disprove ideas, and he was also a genius in explaining things to others. We have heard numerous stories about Sidney Coleman. Unfortunately, this article can only cover a tiny fraction of the stories and comments. Many participants told me that they visit this blog, and it's not impossible to imagine that some of them will write some interesting comments.
The Nobel Prize In Physics 1999 Professor gerardus t hooft, University of Utrecht, the Netherlands, gerardus t hooft and Martinus JGVeltman are being awarded this year s Nobel Prize http://www.matpack.de/Info/Chronics/nobel99-physics.html
Extractions: Professor Gerardus 't Hooft, University of Utrecht, the Netherlands, and Professor Emeritus Martinus J.G. Veltman, University of Michigan, USA, resident in Bilthoven, the Netherlands are being awarded the Nobel Prize for having placed particle physics theory on a firmer mathematical foundation. They have in particular shown how the theory may be used for precise calculations of physical quantities. Experiments at accelerator laboratories in Europe and the USA have recently confirmed many of the calculated results. The everyday objects in our surroundings are all built up of atoms, which consist of electrons and atomic nuclei. In the nuclei there are protons and neutrons, which in turn are made up of quarks. To study matter at this innermost level, large accelerators are required. Such machines were first designed in the 1950s, signifying the birth of modern particle physics . For the first time it was possible to study the creation of new particles and the forces that act between them.

Extractions: Professors Tom Humanic, Mike Lisa, and Evan Sugarbaker are members of the STAR collaboration. On June 12, 2000, the operators in the main control room of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) announced that the STAR detector captured the first spectacular images of particles streaming from a head-on collision point. Beams circulate in the colliders twin rings on a collision course at an energy of 30 billion electron volts (GeV) per nucleon. Later, events indicated that PHOBOS also detected the collisions. The result is great news to the thousands of physicists, engineers, and support staff who have been working since 1991 to get RHIC up and running, and to physicists everywhere who have been anticipating RHICs debut. These spectacular subatomic collisions are the culmination of many years of hard work, and they mark the beginning of a new era of discovery in nuclear physics. The kinds of high-energy collisions produced by this extraordinary machine should further enhance our understanding of the fundamental nature of matter. For the full news release, see the web site of the American Institute of Physics at www.aip.org.releases/ 2000/rhic.html. For more information and to follow RHICs progress, go to www.rhic.bnl.gov/. T he popular scientific press has dubbed string theory the so-called theory of everything. Everything is a lot. What researchers seek is a theory that would encompass both quantum mechanics and gravitation, thus unifying two great developments of the 20th century, Einsteins classical theory of general relativity and the quantum mechanics of Bohr and Schroedinger.

Give us feedback Sign up for our newsletter: October 15, 1999Dr. Martinus J.G. Veltman, professor emeritus of physics at the University of Michigan and former professor at the University of Utrecht, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics on Tuesday of this week. Dr. Veltman shares the award with Dr. Gerardus 't Hooft, his former student and colleague, now a professor of physics at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands. Veltman and 't Hooft won the award for establishing mathematical foundations for gauge theories used in elementary particle physics. In the early 1960s, Veltman developed the first general-purpose computer program that could perform complex algebraic calculations. This computer algebra program, called SCHOONSCHIP, was devised by Veltman primarily to assist in his work on the renormalizability of gauge theories, a mathematical technique that has been part of the ongoing search in quantum physics for a unifying relationship between electromagnetism, gravity, and strong and weak nuclear forces. In 1979, when Stephen Wolfram began designing SMP, the first modern computer algebra program and predecessor to

Extractions: Nobel '99 A Strong Vote for Electroweak Theory "To me, nature is a big jigsaw puzzle, and I see it as my task to try to fit pieces of it together."Web home page of Professor Gerardus 'T Hooft, University of Utrecht, Netherlands by Mike Perricone I n the early 1970s, Chris Quigg was a young physicist at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, on Long Island. He met another young physicist from the Netherlands, named Gerardus 't Hooft, at a reception for new Ph.D.'s in the home of a Stony Brook professor. "A card table had been set up with pieces of a jigsaw puzzle scattered over it, and people would come over to put in usually a corner piece or an edge piece," Quigg recalled. "'t Hooft picked up a random piece, not an edge or a corner, but something from the middle. He stared at it intently. Then he put it down on the table, with great confidence, exactly where it should go. At the least, it was a good act. I decided from that moment, that here was a guy with very impressive geometrical insight." Quigg's intuition was accurate. 't Hooft was already immersed in the work that was to win the 1999 Nobel Prize in Physics for himself and for his teacher, Martinus Veltman, cited by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences "for elucidating the quantum structure of electroweak interactions in physics."

Extractions: The four forces (or interactions) of Nature, their force carrying particles and the phenomena or particles affected by them. The three interactions that govern the microcosmos are all much stronger than gravity and have been unified through the Standard Model. David Gross, David Politzer and Frank Wilczek discovered a property of the strong interaction which explains why quarks may behave almost as free particles only at high energies. The discovery laid the foundation for the theory for the colour interaction (a more complete name is Quantum ChromoDynamics, QCD). The four forces of Nature

Extractions: By BBC News Online Science Editor Dr David Whitehouse Two Dutch physicists, whose theoretical breakthroughs led to the discovery of new sub-atomic particles, have won the 1999 Nobel Prize for Physics. It marks the third time in ten years that contributions to particle physics have won the award. Professor Gerardus 't Hooft, at the University of Utrecht, and Professor Emeritus Martinus Veltman, formerly of Utrecht and Michigan Universities, share the prize of nearly £600,000. Particle master: Professor t'Hooft has spent nearly his whole career at Utrecht For thirty years they have been developing a series of mathematical procedures to explain the various families of sub-atomic particles. Their breakthrough paper was published in 1971. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences' citation said the prize was "for elucidating the quantum structure of electroweak interactions in physics." Well-deserved Paul Guinnessy, Editor of Physicsweb, told BBC News Online: "It is not a surprise that t'Hooft and Veltman have won the prize, they have done some outstanding work in particle physics.

The morning started with a panel discussion on the differences between and the complementary importance of fundamental and applied physics. It was generally agreed that one can not exist without the other. Nobel Laureates on the panel included Drs. Ivar Giaever, Herbert Kroemer, and Douglas Osheroff, all from the U.S., and Dr. Martinus Veltman from the Netherlands. It was generally agreed that extreme basic research can be distinguished from extreme applied research, but that most research relies heavily on both. Dr. Martinus Veltman followed by tracing the history of particle physics from World War II from a basic understanding of neutrons, protons, electrons, and photons to the discovery of pions, K-mesons, “strange" baryons, and quarks.

Extractions: STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Two Dutch physicists won the 1999 Nobel Physics Prize on Tuesday for pioneering work which helped predict the behavior of invisible particles which make up the universe. Martinus Veltman and his disciple Gerardus 't Hooft put new theories for the complex field of quantum physics the study of minute units making up atoms on a firm mathematical foundation, the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences said. Scientists say their work could help pave the way for a new generation of "quantum computers'' which can do within days things which would take modern computers thousands of years. Veltman told Dutch radio his pioneering work turned particle physics on its head but had little day-to-day value. ``The social benefit of my theory is absolutely nil you won't eat any more or less as a result,'' said Veltman, who was physics professor at Utrecht University in the Netherlands and later at Michigan University in the United States. ``The prize money does not matter much to me either,'' added the retired professor, born in 1931. The award is worth almost a million dollars.
