A series of nine talks
8: Particle Politics by ABDUS SALAM
Professor of Theoretical Physics. Imperial College, London, and Director of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Trieste
Physicists have discovered fifty or so new forms of matter in the last twenty years, yet they are not dismayed by this plethora-no more so than, say, by the variety of atoms encountered in the world. But the fifty do pose an outstanding conceptual question-are they all equally composite or elementary—a nuclear democracy-or are they made up of three basic entities—nuclear aristocrats?
