Cyril Domb
Cyril Domb FRS (9 December 1920 – 15 February 2012) was an internationally recognized theoretical physicist best known for his lecturing and writing on the theory of phase transitions and critical phenomena of fluids. He was also known in the Orthodox Jewish world for his writings on Science and Judaism.
==Early life==
Domb was born on 9 December 1920, the fourth day of Hanukkah, in North London to a Hasidic Jewish family.〔 His father, Yoel, who had shortened his name from Dombrowski to Domb, was a native of Warsaw, while his mother, Sarah,〔 was from Oświęcim, Poland.〔 He was given the Hebrew name of Yechiel. His father and grandfather paid for tutors to educate him in classical Jewish studies, and he also attended ''shiurim'' (Torah classes) given by Rabbi Eliyahu Eliezer Dessler to young men in a nearby synagogue.〔"An Appreciation of Professor Yechiel (Cyril) Domb, z"l, in honor of his shloshim". ''Hamodia'', 29 March 2012, pp. C14–C15. Retrieved 7 April 2012.〕
Domb possessed both an excellent memory and skill in mathematics. At the age of 17 he won a scholarship to Pembroke College, Cambridge.〔 He graduated with a degree in mathematics in 1941.〔 He then joined the Admiralty Signal Establishment in Portsmouth〔 as one of several young scientists working on developing radar systems during World War II. Until that point, radar operators were able to determine the distance of an approaching object; Domb’s group worked out a method for determining the height of an object as well.〔
After the war, Domb attended Cambridge University. He earned his PhD in 1949 with a doctoral thesis on "Order-Disorder Statistics". His doctoral advisor was Fred Hoyle.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cyril Domb )〕
