Here, Glashow, the Arthur G.B. Metcalf Professor of Physics at Boston University and winner of the 1979 Nobel Prize in Physics (along with Steven Weinberg and Abdus Salam), lets fly on the theory that, regrettably from his perspective, has been attracting the brightest young stars in the physics firmament today.
Glashow: I was at the University of California in Berkeley from roughly 1963 to 1966 as a professor, and I remember clearly that the experimenters and the theorists were in very close contact.
