They consist of the following, and some activities may be simultaneously held or over different nights: Murray Gell-Mann will lead the game of Diplomacy for anyone who knows how to play. Dan Dubno will teach people a couple of really "hot" tricks. Pablos Holman will d

but the spin will not be flipped. Thus, in the mirror a left-handed particle will turn into a right-handed particle. (And so, if the poor souls in Plato's cave had had mirrors, they might have felt less strange about the shadows of arrows flipping direction.) This working picture of left-handed par

also have to be heavy since the interactions it mediated would have to be weak as well. Glashow's ideas were reported to the physics community by Murray Gell-Mann at the 1960 Rochester meeting, as Gell-Mann had by then recruited Glashow to Caltech to work in Gell-Mann's group. Glashow's paper on the subject,

erform within the superconductor, as long as it remained su- perconducting, would reveal that photons are massless in the outside world. If you were Plato's philosopher inside such a superconductor, you would have to intuit an incredible amount about the outside world be- fore you could infer that a my

ions between nucleons and other particles. In response to this notion that some kind of Yang-Mills symmetry might be behind the strong interaction, Murray Gell-Mann developed an elegant symmetry scheme he labeled in a Zen-like fashion the Eight- fold Way. It not only allowed a classification of eight different v
