  NOVA | The Elegant Universe | Sheldon Glashow | PBS
Here, Glashow, the Arthur G.B. Metcalf Professor of Physics at Boston University and winner of the 1979 Nobel Prize in Physics (along with Steven Weinberg and Abdus Salam), lets fly on the theory that, regrettably from his perspective, has been attracting the brightest young stars in the physics firmament today.
Glashow: I was at the University of California in Berkeley from roughly 1963 to 1966 as a professor, and I remember clearly that the experimenters and the theorists were in very close contact.
Glashow: I think the late 1990s and the beginning of this 21st century will be remembered as the coming together of the large and the small, the convergence of cosmology and particle physics.

Sheldon Lee Glashow contributed to the independent work of Steven Weinberg and Abdus Salam to develop the electroweak theory, which shows how two fundamental forces--the weak and electromagnetic forces--can be viewed as separate manifestations of a single, more basic force, termed an electroweak force.
Glashow was married to the former Joan Shirley Alexander in 1972.
In addition to the Nobel Prize, Glashow was awarded the J. Robert Oppenheimer Memorial Medal in 1977, the George Ledlie Prize in 1978, and the Castiglione di Silica Prize in 1983.

Professor Sheldon Lee Glashow (born December 5, 1932) is an American physicist.
He was rejected for admission to graduate school at Princeton University, a fact which has led to a lifelong dislike of the institution.
Glashow is a notable opponent of Superstring theory due to its apparent lack of experimentally testable predictions.

Glashow was the son of Jewish immigrants from Russia.
Glashow found a way to extend their theory to other classes of elementary particles, notably baryons (e.g., protons and neutrons) and mesons.
In doing so, Glashow had to invent a new property for quarks, which are the fundamental particles that constitute baryons and mesons.

 Sheldon Lee Glashow Summary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Sheldon Lee Glashow was born on December 5, 1932, in the northern tip of Manhattan in New York City.
Glashow's electroweak scheme (similar schemes were also proposed by Glashow's school colleague Steven Weinberg and Pakistani physicist Abdus Salam) made certain predictions, which were confirmed in short order: neutral weak interactions at the reduced rate (1973), the existence of a charmed particle (1974), and an effect known as atomic parity violation (1978).
Glashow's work in the late 1980s and early 1990s was concerned with cosmology and in particular with the nature of the so-called "dark" matter in the universe.

 Nobel laureate Sheldon Glashow to join Boston University faculty
Glashow shared the 1979 Nobel Prize in Physics with Abdus Salam and Steven Weinberg for discovering how at least two of the four forces of nature, electromagnetism and the weak nuclear force, arise from a unified theory and were identical when the universe was very young and very hot.
Its predictions led to the construction of massive underground detectors, the refinement of the unification models, the first observation of neutrinos from a supernova, and the recent discovery that neutrinos have mass.
Glashow, a member of the National Academy of Science and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a foreign member of the Russian and Korean Academies of Science, has been the Higgins Professor of Physics at Harvard University since 1979.

Glashow's fellow prizewinner, Steven Weinberg, ended a recent popular account of science with the words, "The effort to understand the universe is one of the very few things that lifts human life a little above the level of farce, and gives it some of the grace of tragedy."
Glashow believes that there is only one consistent way that all the parts of the universe can fit together.
Glashow won the Nobel Prize, along with physicists Weinberg and Abdus Salam, for showing that electromagnetism and the weak force are actually two faces of a single entity, now called the "electroweak" interaction.

In an interview with a Globe reporter yesterday, Glashow said, "There has been no offer." He did not deny he and A&M were talking, and he noted that though the weather was oppressive, the Greater Houston area was getting more interesting all the time.
Glashow confirmed that he is scheduled to teach a seminar at Texas A&M later this month.
