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 electromagnetic – underpins what is known as the “Standard Model” of particle physics, a wildly successfu...

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 has died at 88. He is survived by his wife, UT Austin law professor Louise Weinberg, and their daug...

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 was a student at Harvard,  I believe the hallway where Weinberg, Glashow and Coleman had offices clos...
