...fact that many of its predictions seemed impossible.Quantum field theory describes subatomic particles as waves which derive their properties from the amounts of energy they carry.Before Wilson’s discoveries, many physicists thought quantum field theory had to be discarded, because so many of its calculations generated infinite values??which are physically impossible. Wilson’s RG theory not only explained these infinite values, it showed that they contained information which allowed for a fuller understanding of the relevant physics.Wilson was among the physicists of the 1970s who developed Standard Theory, the current model of particle...
...Near the end of his speech, the president alluded to reports that professors had risen up against him largely because of his brusque leadership style: “The greatest faculty is one in which the values of consensus, respect and collegiality are cherished, but also balanced against other values??clear excellence, measurable progress, and the urgent demands of a world whose needs change.”It was also the last Faculty meeting for William C.

Nevertheless, I write to point out a course of action the piece’s authors overlooked—one that would allow the state to avoid this dilemma...
