Hadron bootstrap: triumph or frustration?
Physics Today 23 (10), 23–28 (1970);
https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3021778
Only after fundamentalists repeatedly fail to explain more than part of the hadron spectrum will they gradually accept the self‐consistent particle model of the bootstrappers.
Physics in the Great Depression
Physics Today 23 (10), 31–38 (1970);
https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3021779
Hard times raised hard questions that were not answered in the 1930's and remain on the agenda now.
Meson factories and the two‐nucleon problem
Physics Today 23 (10), 40–46 (1970);
https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3021780
The advent of ultrahigh‐intensity accelerators should encourage interest in an old unsolved problem in physics: What is the interaction between two nucleons?
Reshaping the image of physics
Physics Today 23 (10), 48–53 (1970);
https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3021781
Too many students visualize physics merely as a collection of laws and equations. Teachers should communicate as well some of the excitement, beauty and uncertainty of the subject.
