 Kenneth G. Wilson Summary
Kenneth Geddes Wilson (born 1936) won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1982 for his work applying renormalization group analysis to previously unsolved problem in theoretical physics concerning critical points and phase transitions.
Born in Waltham, Massachusetts, on June 8, 1936, Kenneth Geddes Wilson was the oldest of six children born to Edgar Bright Wilson, Jr., a chemistry professor at Harvard University, and the former Emily Fisher Buckingham.
Wilson's doctoral thesis dealt with quantum field theory, an area of physics that attempts to integrate relativity theory with quantum mechanics (the object behind combining these two major theories was to develop an overall conceptual picture of the physical world).

After a year at the European Council for Nuclear Research, Wilson was appointed assistant professor at Cornell University in 1963; he was professor of physics from 1971 to 1988.
Second-order phase transitions of matter take place at characteristic temperatures (or pressures), but unlike first-order transitions they occur throughout the entire volume of a material as soon as that temperature (called the critical point) is reached.
Wilson's work provided a mathematical strategy for constructing theories that could apply to physical systems near the critical point.

 print: GOSPEL MUSIC REVIEW: Lifestyles Of Worship (Kenneth Wilson)  | February, 2007 on BlackGospel.com - Your ...
The sound of Kenneth Wilson and KWC has been compared to some very influential personalities in the gospel’s short history including the likes of the late Thomas Whitfield, a fellow Detroit native son.
Lifestyles of Worship refers to the collective vow of Kenneth and his chorale members to “…glorify God in [their] music ministry and in a true Christ-like lifestyle” and though I am not personally acquainted with them, their music ministry certainly gives the impression that they are living the words they sing about in their songs.
Kenneth says it best in these humble words: “God is still developing his character in me and I am now ready to do great things for the Kingdom of God in many ways… I am now learning that it is the lifestyle that makes the difference…True worship is a lifestyle”
