I think that we scientists are seeking an understanding of the natural world. We come in various types - chemists and physicists and biologists and such - and we all have the same goal. We are making progress. Sheldon Lee Glashow
Natural World Progress Understanding Think Types Seeking Various Physicists Come Making Scientists Goal Same Natural World Biologists
I think that I got committed to physics at the age of - oh, it must have been 1942 - ten, when most countries were at war and children were interested in airplanes and bombs and such things. Sheldon Lee Glashow
War Age Physics Think Airplane Must Ten Countries Most Got Were Been Committed Oh Children Interested Such Things Bombs Things
There's something called From 'Alchemy to Quarks,' which will teach you everything you have to know, you want to know, about physics. Sheldon Lee Glashow
You Physics Will Everything About Something Know Want Which Teach Alchemy
String theory has had a long and wonderful history. It originated as a technique to try to understand the strong force. It was a calculational mechanism, a way of approaching a mathematical problem that was too difficult, and it was a promising way, but it was only a technique. It was a mathematical technique rather than a theory in itself. Sheldon Lee Glashow
History Wonderful Problem Strong Try Approaching Long Difficult Too String Way String Theory Promising Rather Only Had Force Understand Mathematical Itself Than Theory Mechanism Originated Technique
There are physicists, and there are string theorists. Of course the string theorists are physicists, but the string theorists in general will not attend lectures on experimental physics. They will not be terribly concerned about the results of experiments. They will talk to one another. Sheldon Lee Glashow
Physics Will String About General Physicists Results Attend Talk Concerned Terribly Another Course Lectures Experimental Experiments
In 1956, when I began doing theoretical physics, the study of elementary particles was like a patchwork quilt. Electrodynamics, weak interactions, and strong interactions were clearly separate disciplines, separately taught and separately studied. There was no coherent theory that described them all. Sheldon Lee Glashow
Physics Strong Quilt Weak Studied Study Clearly Particles Like Disciplines Doing Were Began Taught Interactions Them Separate Separately Theoretical Theory Elementary Coherent
I had more or less abandoned the idea of an electroweak gauge theory during the period 1961-1970. Of the several reasons for this, one was the failure of my naive foray into renormalizability. Sheldon Lee Glashow
Failure Gauge Several Abandoned More More Or Less Had Idea Naive Period Less Theory Reasons
Would physics at Geneva be as good as physics at Harvard? I think not. Rome? I think not. In Britain, I don't think there is one place, neither Cambridge nor Oxford, which can compare with Harvard. Sheldon Lee Glashow
Good Physics Think Harvard Neither Would Geneva Cambridge Nor Oxford Rome Place Which Compare Britain
String theory's biggest prediction is that gravity exists. That's good. That's a lot more than preceding theories could do. Sheldon Lee Glashow
Good String More Could Lot Exists Than Biggest Prediction Theories Theory Gravity
I suppose I'm worried that someday there will be some exciting experiments to do, and there won't be anyone around who knows what experiments are. Sheldon Lee Glashow
Will Worried Some Someday Exciting Suppose Knows Around Anyone Experiments Who
