During this period, with a series of excellent students, we further studied hyperon decays.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When the violation of parity was discovered I began a series of electronic experiments to investigate parity violation in hyperon decays.
I came to graduate school at Harvard University in 1954. My thesis supervisor, Julian Schwinger, had about a dozen doctoral students at a time. Getting his ear was as difficult as it was rewarding. I called my thesis 'The Vector Meson in Elementary Particle Decays', and it showed an early commitment to an electroweak synthesis.
I spent most of my career doing high-energy physics, quarks, dark matter, string theory and so on.
Over the centuries, monumental upheavals in science have emerged time and again from following the leads set out by mathematics.
The pattern of things was that each of the research students would be doing some particular experiment on the accelerator, often involving the building of counters or a system like that.
I've been devoting quite a bit of my time to harmonic studies on my own, in libraries and places like that. I've found you've got to look back at the old things and see them in a new light.
During my first year as a graduate student, we worked on a measurement of the isotope shift and hyperfine structure of mercury isotopes.
Later in the fifties I got involved in kinetic studies using my long forgotten math background.
Over the years, a number of other intriguing experimental ideas and areas of investigation have been the objects of my attention, and I have devoted some time and effort to exploring the inherent possbilities.
It is the perennial youthfulness of mathematics itself which marks it off with a disconcerting immortality from the other sciences.
