Berkeley physicist Geoffrey Chew led the development of a popu- lar, influential program to address this problem. Chew gave up the idea that any truly fundam

In this Zen-like picture, appropriate to Berkeley in the 196os, all particles were thought to be made up of other particles—the so-called bootstrap model, in which no elementary particles were prim

Quantum mechanics had just been born, new ideas were everywhere, and the rigorous mathematics necessary to deal with these ideas had not yet been developed
