The title of the book reviewed in the October 2000 issue of Physics Today (page 81) boldly states The Discovery of Anti-matter: The Autobiography of Carl David
Anderson, the Youngest Man to Win the Nobel Prize . But it’s just not so. William Lawrence Bragg was born in Australia in March 1890. Together with his father, William H. Bragg, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics in 1915 for their joint work on x-ray diffraction, beating Anderson by a good six years.
