	Lev Landau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lev Davidovich Landau (Russian language: Ле́в Дави́дович Ланда́у) (January 22, 1908 – April 1, 1968) was a prominent Soviet physicist, who made fundamental contributions to many areas of theoretical physics.
		Recognized very early as a child prodigy in mathematics, Landau was quoted as saying in later life that he scarcely remembered a time when he was not familiar with calculus.
		Apart from his theoretical accomplishments, Landau was the principal founder of a great tradition of theoretical physics in the Soviet Union, sometimes referred to as the "Landau school".

		Lev Davidovich Landau (Russian language: Ле́в Дави́дович Ланда́у) (January 22, 1908 – April 1, 1968) was a prominent Soviet physicist and winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics whose broad field of work included the theory of superconductivity and superfluidity, quantum electrodynamics, nuclear physics and particle physics.
		Lev Davidovich Landau was born in Baku, in the Jewish family of a petroleum engineer who worked on the Baku oil fields.
		Landau’s scientific style was free of the – unfortunately fairly widespread – tendency to complicate simple things (often on the grounds of generality and rigor which, however, usually turn out to be illusory).

		According to the document in Landau's file that we can consider the most truthful (since that haphazard brief note was intended just for the inner KGB operation), Landau's conduct in jail was very courageous: In spite of his torments he maintained his silence for more than two months and declared a hunger strike.
		Landau and his colleagues successfully calculated the yield for the first Soviet thermonuclear bomb, a "Sloyka" (layer cake) with lithium deuteride filling, suggested by Andrei Sakharov and Vitaly Ginzburg in Igor Tamm's group at the Lebedev Physical Institute.
		Landau's attitude toward the Soviet regime, educated very much by his jail-year experience, and his objection to working on nuclear weapons were the exception rather than the norm.

		He matriculated in 1922 at Baku University, studying physics and chemistry, and transferred in 1924 to the Leningrad State University, which at that time was the centre of Soviet physics.
		In 1932 Landau went to Kharkov to become the head of the Theoretical Division of the Ukrainian Physico-Technical Institute, a position he combined in 1935 with that of head of the Department of General Physics at the Kharkov A.M. Gorky State University.
		There, Landau's close interest in experimental physics led to his development of the theory of liquid helium, the last of the elements to be liquefied and the most remarkable of all liquids.

		He was a very prominent theoretical physicist, a Nobel laureate and a founder and a long-time leader of a group of outstanding theoretical physicists in Russia.
		On the other hand, if Landau disliked the thesis he would make mincemeat of the offender with a few very caustic and witty remarks.
		The “orthodox” scientific “establishment” was obviously more interested in the unusual results than in preserving prestige, orthodox views, or using the alleged mechanism of peer-review to kill unwanted data – all those malaises of science attributed to it by the ID crowd.

		Without knowing the behavior of electrons and atoms in a superconductor, Dr. Ginzburg, along with Dr. Lev Landau, another Russian physicist, devised a set of equations in 1950 that describe the behavior of a superconductor near the temperature at which electrical resistance falls to zero.
		Landau, who won the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physics for other research, died in 1968.
		Abrikosov began his work soon after Dr. Ginzburg and Dr. Landau published their equation when physicists discovered that some materials could maintain their superconductivity at much higher magnetic fields, a property essential for applications like magnets and motors.
