Cambridge Festival has launched its programme of events for 2023, and bookings are now open.

If you can afford to cab everywhere, or have no shame about asking for a lift from family, friends and colleagues, you probably never need to drive a car in Singapore. Our public transport system is reliable most of the time, and cars are so expensive in Singapore that it’s a heavy liability more than anything else. However, being able...

Steven Weinberg, brilliant particle physicist whose work underpins the ‘Standard Model’ – obituary He won the Nobel Prize after finding fame as a writer with The First Three Minutes (1977), a gripping account of the Big Bang Steven Weinberg Credit: AP Steven Weinberg, who has died aged 88, shared the 1979 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on elementary particles and the interactions between them; his research, uniting two of nature’s fundamental forces – the weak and the electromagn...

Nobel laureate, UT physics professor Steven Weinberg dies at 88 By Cory Dinkel article UT Austin says Weinberg was a beloved teacher and researcher, revered not only by the scientists who marveled at his concise and elegant theories but also by science enthusiasts everywhere who read his books and sought him out at public appearances a Expand AUSTIN, Texas - The University of Texas at Austin confirmed Saturday that Nobel laureate and longtime professor of physics and astronomy Steven Weinberg...

I heard this morning the news that Steven Weinberg passed away yesterday at the age of 88.  He was arguably the dominant figure in theoretical particle physics during its period of great success from the late sixties to the early eighties.  In particular, his 1967 work on unification of the weak and electromagnetic interactions was a huge breakthrough, and remains to this day at the center of the Standard Model, our best understanding of fundamental physics. During the years 1975-79 when I wa...

Mythology has its titans. So do the movies. And so does physics. Just one fewer now. Steven Weinberg died July 23, at the age of 88. He was one of the key intellectual leaders in physics during the second half of the 20th century, and he remained a leading voice and active contributor and teacher through the first two decades of the 21st. On lists of the greats of his era he was always mentioned along with Richard Feynman, Murray Gell-Mann and … well, just Feynman and Gell-Mann. Among his pee...

Ut Austin mourns the death of famous physicist Stephen Weinberg July 25, 2021 by archyde AUSTIN, Texas – Nobel Prize winner Stephen Weinberg, professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Texas at Austin, has died. He was 88 years old. One of the most famous scientists of his generation, Weinberg is best known for helping develop an important part of the Standard Model of particle physics, which greatly advanced humanity’s understanding of how everything in the universe works – ...

Fermilab researchers have spotted a wobble in the movement of a tiny particle This and abnormalities seen by CERN suggest issues with the Standard Model Leading physicist Michio Kaku says abnormalities have been long expected  Any tiny change could leave open the door to finding a new universal theory  A goal of Einstein during his lifetime, it would unite all four forces of nature into a simple, single inch long theory that Kaku dubbed the God Equation 

Rabbit Holes and Physicists During my adult life I have been continuously falling into rabbit holes. As explained here; “What is an internet rabbit hole? Just like the infamous example from Alice in Wonderland, a rabbit hole is a never-ending path into the unknown. One thing leads to another, and suddenly you’re learning about everything and anything under the sun. When Alice fell down into the literal and figurative rabbit hole, she discovered a whole new world. An internet rabbit hole is...
