My childhood in Arlington, Va., a middle class suburb of Washington, was uneventful. Ours was a very intellectual family, and we were encouraged to read at a very early age. David Gross

Reading history, one rarely gets the feeling of the true nature of scientific development, in which the element of farce is as great as the element of triumph. David Gross

Quantum field theory was originally developed for the treatment of electrodynamics, immediately after the completion of quantum mechanics and the discovery of the Dirac equation. David Gross
Field Completion Immediately Developed Quantum Equation Quantum Mechanics Discovery After Theory Mechanics Originally Treatment
Fortunately, nature is as generous with its problems as Nobel with his fortune. The more we know, the more aware we are of what we know not. David Gross
Nature Problems More Nobel Generous Know His Fortunately Fortune Aware
Theorists can be wrong; only nature is always right. David Gross

Actually, I was more or less determined to be a theoretical physicist at the age of thirteen. David Gross

To understand the universe in the state that it began in, the so-called Big Bang, we need laws of physics that work better than our current set of rules and procedures, which break down when we try to push them back to the beginning. David Gross
Work Physics Better Try Big Beginning Down Universe State Back Our Rules Laws Push Big Bang Understand Began Than Bang Current So-Called Break Procedures Which Them Need Set
The Big Bang theory is the idea that if we go back early enough in the history of the universe - and we can do this, of course, by looking at starlight coming to us from billions of years ago - we will see a very hot and dense period where the universe was much smaller, denser, and hotter. David Gross

In the lab, we could not see or physically describe the mathematical objects that we called quarks, which we suspected were the key to unlocking the dynamics of the strong force that binds together the clump of protons and neutrons at the center of the atom. David Gross
Together Key Strong Unlocking See Atom Objects Physically Could Force Were Mathematical Lab Suspected Center Dynamics Which Describe Binds
When I was at Berkeley, the framework of quantum field theory could calculate the dynamics of electromagnetism. It could roughly describe the motion of the weak nuclear force, radiation. But it hit a brick wall with the strong interaction, the binding force. David Gross
Strong Field Framework Weak Berkeley Could Calculate Force Quantum Motion Hit Wall Interaction Dynamics Radiation Theory Brick Brick Wall Describe Roughly Binding Nuclear
I strongly believe that the fundamental laws of nature are not emergent phenomena. David Gross
Nature Believe Strongly Laws Fundamental Fundamental Laws Phenomena
