The photo shows Steven Weinberg, in profile and half-length, wearing a dark suit with a light-colored shirt and tie. The photo is in black and white. Behind Weinberg is a black board, filled with symbols related to theoretical physics. Among the elements visible on the board are Feynman diagrams, which are graphical representations used in particle physics to describe the interactions between subatomic particles. Also visible on the board are symbols such as "W⁺," "W⁻," and "Z⁰," which refer to intermediate vector bosons, particles fundamental to electroweak theory, a field in which Weinberg has made groundbreaking contributions. There are also other mathematical notations, related to Weinberg's field of investigation. The image captures a moment in which Weinberg appears to be immersed in a study or teaching context, consistent with his career as a theoretical physicist and educator. The photo is from the AIP Emilio Segrè Visual Archives, Weber Collection, an archive known for its images of scientists and scientific contexts.
🧵
3 May 1933: Steven Weinberg, a giant of physics, was born.
"Scientists, no less than composers, have styles. If Einstein and Feynman call to mind Beethoven, Weinberg calls to mind Bach."
— Frank Wilczek, from the obituary of S. Weinberg.
