The famous image of Einstein taken by International News photographer Arthur Sasse in 1951. Einstein became one of the most famous scientific celebrities after the confirmation of his general theory of relativity in 1919. [321] [322] [323] Although most of the public had little understanding of his work, he was widely recognized and admired.
Before the eyes of 77 other brilliant scientists, who had all gathered in the Austrian capital to discuss the nascent field of quantum theory, Einstein insisted that quantum states had their own ...
Iliopoulos is a specialist in high energy theoretical physics and elementary particle physics. In 1970, in collaboration with Sheldon Glashow and Luciano Maïani, he introduced the so-called "GIM mechanism" (named after the three authors) which is an essential element of the theory of fundamental interactions known as the "Standard Model ".
