A student prodigy Ð enrolled at Yale at 15, teaching
physics at the University of Chicago at 23 - polyglot and brilliant populiser
of science, Murray Gell-Mann won the Nobel Prize for Physics for his theory
of the Òeight-fold wayÓ, which restored order to the chaos created with
the discovery of some 100 new particles in the atomic nucleus. However,
he is best known for his theory predicting the even more elementary particles
that he dubbed ÒquarksÓ and, more recently, his studies of complex adaptive
systems at the Santa Fe Institute, which cover over a vast range of disciplines,
from archeology to history, evolutionary biology, linguistics, learning
and creative thinking. He is also actively involved in issues regarding
environmental and demographic policy, sustainable development and the stability
of the world political system. |
