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.

 Sheldon Lee Glashow --  Encyclopædia Britannica
Pakistani nuclear physicist who was the corecipient with Steven Weinberg and Sheldon Lee Glashow of the 1979 Nobel Prize for Physics for their work in formulating the electroweak theory, which explains the unity of the weak nuclear force and electromagnetism.
Glashow, Sheldon L. (born 1932), U.S. physicist, born in New York City; on faculty of Stanford University 1961–62, of University of California, Berkeley, 1962–66; at Harvard from 1966; professor 1967–83; professor Texas A and M since 1983; shared 1979 Nobel prize for theory on fundamental interactions between particles.
Born on May 18, 1834, in Minaville, N.Y., Sheldon Jackson was a missionary superintendent and established churches and schools across the country from 1859 to 1883.

Sheldon Lee Glashow was born in New York in 1932.
In 1961, Sheldon Lee Glashow became an assistant professor at Stanford University and then spent several years on the faculty of the University of California at Berkeley.
In 1979, Sheldon Glashow was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics together with Abdus Salam and his classmate Steven Weinberg "for their contributions to the theory of the unified weak and electromagnetic interaction between elementary particles, including inter alia the prediction of the weak neutral current".

In 1964 he proposed the existence of a fourth, 'charmed' quark, and later argued that quarks must be coloured.
Insights gained from these theoretical studies enabled Glashow to consider ways in which the weak nuclear force and the electromagnetic force (two of the fundamental forces of nature) could be unified as a single force now called the electroweak force.
Glashow was born in New York and studied at Cornell and Harvard universities.

 Glashow, Sheldon Lee
Glashow received his Ph.D. in physics from Harvard University in 1959.
Their theory could be applied only to leptons, however, a class of particles that includes electrons and neutrinos.
This new property, which Glashow called "charm," provided a valuable extension of the theory of quarks.

 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.

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.

His hypothetical equations, which demonstrated an underlying relationship between the electromagnetic force and the weak nuclear force, postulated that the weak force must be transmitted by hitherto-undiscovered particles known as weak vector bosons, or W and Z bosons.
Weinberg and Glashow reached a similar conclusion using a different line of reasoning.
The existence of the W and Z bosons was eventually verified in 1983 by researchers using particle accelerators at CERN.
