Krauss is himself close to the field and can offer insights into the personalities who have led the key advances. A practiced and skilled writer, he succe

As Richard Feynman once argued, no one understands quantum mechanics—if by under- stand one means developing a concrete physical picture that appears fully intuitive.

Lawrence was ahead of me in his work, graduating before me. He told me that he was only able to complete the work that became his thesis with Weinberg becau

tion. Still, questions remained, especially given the apparent disagree- ment with the Seattle/Oxford results. At a talk at Caltech on the subject, Richard Feynman, characteristically, homed in on a key outstanding ex- perimental question and asked whether the SLAC experimentalists had checked that the detector
