But there was also nervousness, as existing particle theories have been increasingly unable to explain some recently observed cosmic shapes.
22.
Smolin suggests that string theory suffers from serious deficiencies and has an unhealthy near-monopoly in the particle theory community.
23.
For the next 25 years he worked on elementary particle theory with a primary interest in quantum field theory and symmetry.
24.
Technically it goes like this-The standard cosmological big bang theory is based on standard particle theory and General Relativity.
25.
To explain some of its behavior, we use wave theory and to explain some other behavior we use particle theory.
26.
In ordinary particle theories, one can consider any collection of elementary particles whose classical behavior is described by an arbitrary Lagrangian.
27.
In the years after 1967, the full Standard Model of elementary particle theory was developed through the work of many contributors.
28.
He shared the 1999 Nobel Prize in physics with his former student Gerardus't Hooft for their work on particle theory.
29.
West became a Stanford faculty member before he joined the particle theory group at New Mexico's Los Alamos National Laboratory.
30.
The goal of the prize as stated on the APS website is to encourage outstanding work in the field of particle theory.
