I was wondering who you thaught is most responicle for todays development of particle physics?
I am an experimentalist about to state my disagreementdextercioby said:I believe that since the discovery of QM in the 20's,particle physics was always one step behind theory.
I have a second complaint, less general, very specific indeed :C. Rovelli said:I think wildness in physics is sterile. The greatest revolutionaries in science were extremely, almost obsessively, conservative. [...] Their vertiginous steps ahead were not pulled out of the blue sky. [...] In physics, novelty has always emerged from new data or from a humble, devoted interrogation of old theories. [...] Theoretical physics becomes a mental game closed in itself and the connection with reality is lost.
(in "Quantum Gravity" appendix C On method and truth)

- The check is in the mail
- Of course, darling I'll respect you in the morning
- My model is based on QCD

Haelfix said:(eg 70s when the SDM was more or less finished).
The father of particle physics is considered to be Ernest Rutherford, a New Zealand-born physicist who is credited with the discovery of the atomic nucleus and the development of the Rutherford model of the atom.
Some of the most important physicists in the field of particle physics include Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, Richard Feynman, Enrico Fermi, and Peter Higgs.
The most important theory in particle physics is the Standard Model, which describes the fundamental particles and forces that make up the universe.
Some of the most significant discoveries in particle physics include the discovery of the electron, the proton, and the neutron; the discovery of the Higgs boson; and the confirmation of the existence of quarks.
The current frontiers of research in particle physics include the search for new particles beyond the Standard Model, the study of dark matter and dark energy, and the development of new technologies to explore the smallest scales of the universe.
