Personal Fact of Julian Schwinger | |
Julian Seymour Schwinger was an American theoretical physicist who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965 for his fundamental work in quantum electrodynamics. His fascination for physics grew while going through Encyclopedia Britannica at a very young age. Very soon he began to visit public libraries and read outside books on that subject. By the age of sixteen he had published his first paper on physics. However, his penchant for higher knowledge almost ruined his college education. It was Professor Isidor Isaac Rabi of Columbia University, who first recognized his talent and took him under his wings. Under his guidance, Schwinger not only earned his B.S. degree, but also his PhD. Very soon, he established himself as a brilliant theorist. However, he was fiercely independent and did not accept interference in his work. That is why he mostly worked at night. Although he dealt in diverse branches of physics, his works on quantum electrodynamics is specially noted. However, many believe that his students were his most enduring achievements. He left more than seventy students, through whom he continued to influence modern physics long after his death. |
