His research on elementary particles and cosmology has been honored with numerous prizes and awards, including in 1979 the Nobel Prize in Physics and in 1991 the National Medal of Science. In 2004 he received the Benjamin Franklin Medal of the American Philosophical Society, with a citation that said he is "considered by many to be the preeminent theoretical physicist alive in the world today." He has been elected to the US National Academy of Sciences and Britain's Royal Society, as well as to the American Philosophical Society and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Weinberg's articles on various subjects occasionally appear in ''The New York Review of Books'' and other periodicals. He has served as consultant at the U. S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, President of the Philosophical Society of Texas, and member of the Board of Editors of ''Daedalus'' magazine, the Council of Scholars of the Library of Congress, the JASON group of defense consultants, and many other boards and committees.〔(Oral history interview transcript with Steven Weinberg June 28, 1991, American Institute of Physics, Niels Bohr Library & Archives )〕〔 (Leslie, J, "Never-ending universe", a review in the ''Times Literary Supplement'' of Weinberg's 2015 book ''To explain the World''. )〕 ==Education and early life== Steven Weinberg was born in 1933 in New York City, his parents were Jewish immigrants.〔http://www.infogeist.dk/html/egaagymnasium/infogeist-eg12i-fy/eg11iphysicsc/topic_1-8.html〕 He graduated from Bronx High School of Science in 1950.〔(Autobiography of Steven Weinberg )〕 He was in the same graduating class as Sheldon Glashow, whose own research, independent of Weinberg's, would result in them (and Abdus Salam) sharing the same 1979 Nobel in Physics (see below). Weinberg received his bachelor's degree from Cornell University in 1954, living at the Cornell branch of the Telluride Association. He left Cornell and went to the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen where he started his graduate studies and research. After one year, Weinberg returned to Princeton University where he earned his PhD degree in physics in 1957, for research supervised by Sam Treiman.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Steven Weinberg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
