==Personal Life==

Steven Weinberg was born in 1933. He attended Cornell and received a Bachelors Degree in 1954. He proceeded to do research at Niels Bohr Institute and continued to get a PhD in physics from Princeton University in 1957. He has made many contributions to the realm of science and is now a professor at University of Texas at Austin where he founded the Theory Group in the physics department there. He has received many awards in his lifetime, the most notable being the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1979, the National Medal of Science in 1991, the Benjamin Franklin Medal of the American Philosophical Society in 2004.

==Contributions to Physics==

He has/is completing research in fields including: quantum field theory, symmetry breaking, cosmology, supersymmetry, superstrings, technicolor, and in many other aspects of particle physics. He has published major known books, ''The Quantum Theory of Fields'' , ''Gravitation and Cosmology'' , ''The First Three Minutes'' , and ''Dreams of a Final Theory''.

One of his first theories was electroweak unification theory. He discovered that there were weak neutral currents between leptons which helped support his theory. These interactions were explained by spontaneous symmetry breaking.

Another notable theory was the full Standard model of elementary particle theory. It incorporated the work of the electroweak forces he discovered, along with the work of many other scientists of the time.

He then proposed a more modern version of renormalization aspect in quantum physics saying that a sensible quantum field theory must be renormalizable. This allowed for theories such as lthe effective theory of quantum gravity and low energy qcd to emerge.

He is currently researching the possibility of new strong interactions, which he had considered to be Technicolor.

__NOTOC__
Welcome to the Georgia Tech Wiki for Intro Physics. This resources was created so that students can contribute and curate content to help those with limited or no access to a textbook. When reading this website, please correct any errors you may come across. If you read something that isn't clear, please consider revising it!

Looking to make a contribution?
#Pick a specific topic from intro physics
#Add that topic, as a link to a new page, under the appropriate category listed below by editing this page.
#Copy and paste the default [[Template]] into your new page and start editing.

Please remember that this is not a textbook and you are not limited to expressing your ideas with only text and equations. Whenever possible embed: pictures, videos, diagrams, simulations, computational models (e.g. Glowscript), and whatever content you think makes learning physics easier for other students.

== Source Material ==
All of the content added to this resource must be in the public domain or similar free resource. If you are unsure about a source, contact the original author for permission. That said, there is a surprisingly large amount of introductory physics content scattered across the web. Here is an incomplete list of intro physics resources (please update as needed).
* A physics resource written by experts for an expert audience [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Physics Physics Portal]
* A wiki book on modern physics [https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Modern_Physics Modern Physics Wiki]
* The MIT open courseware for intro physics [http://ocw.mit.edu/resources/res-8-002-a-wikitextbook-for-introductory-mechanics-fall-2009/index.htm MITOCW Wiki]

== Organizing Categories ==
These are the broad, overarching categories, that we cover in two semester of introductory physics. You can add subcategories or make a new category as needed. A single topic should direct readers to a page in one of these catagories.
