Zweig was skilled beneath Nobel Prize-prevailing physicist Richard Feynman and was later nominated for Nobel Prize himself, in line with a piece of writing he wrote.
he’s credited with proposing one of the first theories of subatomic debris, referred to as quarks even as working at the EU enterprise for Nuclear Research, CERN.
He later worked on an electronic barrier machine to save you the glide of goods from North to South Vietnam in the course of the Vietnam war, in keeping with the journal document.
And he helped write an algorithm that brought about the advent of the cochlear hearing implant.
