Schwinger, Julian

Schwinger, Julian. Einstein s Legacy. New York W. H. Freeman, 1986. 

He attended college at Harvard and majored in chemistry and physics, then went to the University of Cambridge for two years, receiving a doctorate degree in physics in 1957 for his work on dispersion relations for elementary particle scattering. He returned to Harvard and, after a postdoctoral year and a year as Julian Schwinger s assistant, became an assistant professor of...

Freeman Dyson s proof of the equivalence of the rival radiation theories of Julian Schwinger and Richard Feynman occurred to him while emerging from what he described as "a sort of semi-stupor" induced after forty-eight hours on a cross-country bus journey from Berkeley to Chicago. "Before I knew where I was," he wrote his parents shortly...

Feynman, Richard (1918-1988) A physicist, author, and teacher bom in New York, Feynman participated in the Manhattan Project and made numerous contributions to a diverse field of specialized scientific disciplines including quantum mechanics, supercooling, genetics, and nanotechnology. He shared the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics— with Julian Schwinger (1918-1994) and Sin-Itiro Tomonaga (1906-1979)—for work in quantum electrodynamics, particularly for his lucid explanation of the behavior of subatomic particles. He was a popular and influential professor for many years at California Institute of Technology.

As Julian Schwinger pointed out some years ago, while the universe can only be comprehended as one interacting whole, the only route we know to that understanding is by studying the parts. Clearly quantum mechanics imposes some severe limitations on the ways that we can reasonably divide systems into parts for separate study.
