Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Steven Weinberg was a giant of late 20th Century physics on whose shoulders we stand while groping for the science of the 21st Century. This article provides a too-brief summary of a selection of his many achievements – eight decades of superlative research, eight classic textbooks, eight best-selling forays into popular science writing and more.¹
