Weinberg, Salam, and current Higgins Professor of Physics Scheldon L. Glashow shared the Nobel Prize in 1979 for their work on the unification theories. "If Rubbia had not confirmed the existence of the W particle, theoretical physicists would have been running around emitting sharp cries," Weinberg, who now teaches at the University of Texas, said yesterday...
