1. Richard Feynman, said to be the greatest theoretical physicist of modern times, stated that no-one understands quantum mechanics. 2. Scientists, especially theoretical physicists, are all awaiting the next revolutionary breakthrough that overthrows the paradigms of theory and practice. 3. So Maybe the end is in sight for theoretical physicists, if not for theoretical physics. 4. That is certainly how those years are enshrined in the folk memory of theoretical physicists. 5. The theoretical physicist gets more credit than the experimental because the behavior of the latter clearly depends on laboratory practice and observation. 6. These will be the outstanding problems for theoretical physicists in the next twenty years or so. 7. Undoubtedly, the human interest story of how I have managed to be a theoretical physicist despite my disability has helped. 8. And the ranks of the seers are suddenly swelling with university professors and venture-capital consultants, theoretical physicists and high-tech nerds. 9. A theoretical physicist, Teller is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford and director emeritus of the Livermore weapons laboratory. 10. All these landmarks were named for Dr. Frank J. Sacherer, a theoretical physicist at CERN, who was a world-class expert on the behavior of particle accelerators. |
