In 1969 Gell-Mann was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics "for his contributions and discoveries concerning the classification of elementary particles and their interactions." Do you often give nicknames to people or things? Not especially. Sometimes using the etymology of the names, but otherwise not. Are there any nicknames you are known by? Not that I know of. Never, throughout your life? Not really. No. Sometimes people abbreviate my first name to "Murr," but it's pretty unusual. See, it already has the "ee" sound on the end, which is a typical diminutive: Charlie, Bobby, Harry... I s that typical of people with "ee" sounds at the end of their names, not to have nicknames?

home page vita publications Murray Gell-Mann BRIEF BIOGRAPHY Murray Gell-Mann is Professor and Co-Chairman of the Science Board of the Santa Fe Institute, and author of the popular science book, The Quark and the Jaguar, Adventures in the Simple and the Complex In 1969, Professor Gell-Mann received the Nobel Prize in physics for his work on the theory of elementary particles. Professor Gell-Mann's "eightfold way" theory brought order to the chaos created by the discovery of some 100 particles in the atom's nucleus. Then he found that all of those particles, including the neutron and proton, are composed of fundamental building blocks that he named "quarks." The quarks are permanently confined by forces coming from the exchange of "gluons." He and others later constructed the quantum field theory of quarks and gluons, called "quantum chromodynamics," which seems to account for all the nuclear paticles and their strong interactions. Besides being a Nobel laureate, Professor Gell-Mann has received the Ernest O. Lawrence Memorial Award of the Atomic Energy Commission, the Franklin Medal of the Franklin Institute, the Research Corporation Award, and the John J. Carty medal of the National Academy of Sciences. He has been awarded honorary doctoral degrees from many institutions, including Yale University, the University of Chicago, the University of Turin, Italy, and Cambridge and Oxford Universities, England. In 1988 he was listed on the United Nations Environmental Program Roll of Honor for Environmental Achievement (the Global 500). In 1994 he shared the 1989 Erice "Science For Peace" Prize.

Murray Gell-Mann, Nobel Laureate I met Murray Gell-Mann when he visited Imperial College around 1958 when I was a student, and again at Trieste, 1964. I also saw him at Goteborg, 1968, on the occasion of the Nobel Symposium. He won the prize a year later; it was said that more than half the Nobel advisors had suggested him in 1969, a figure which, if true, has never been remotely matched before or since. His prediction of the existence and properties of the Omega-minus was probably what convinced many physicists that Gell-Mann should be nominated. Go to my HOME PAGE for more links.

The Third Culture Home About Edge Features Edge Editions ... Edge Search "The first thing that makes me respect Murray is that unlike all his contemporaries, including Feynman, Weinberg, Hawking, and all the other particle physicists, he saw that complexity is the next big problem. The kind of breakthroughs he made in the early 1960's in terms of impact on the world are not going to get made in that domain, they are going to get made in this domain. Murray recognized that, and has become more than just conversant with what's going on and with what the problems are." -J. Doyne Farmer "There's nothing like having a Nobel laureate around to liven up discussions on almost any topic." -Christopher G. Langton "Murray is the greatest living American theoretical physicist." -Lee Smolin Murray Gell-Mann "The Sante Fe Institute, which I helped to found in 1984, gathers together mathematicians, computer scientists, physicists, chemists, neurobiologists, immunologists, evolutionary biologists, ecologists, archaeologists, linguists, economists, political scientists, and historians, among others. The emphasis is on interactive people. Many distinguished scientists and scholars yearn to stray outside their own fields but can't do so easily at their own institutions. We didn't want to locate our institute near Harvard or Stanford, where there's enormous pressure of received ideas - ideas accepted by a whole community and therefore difficult to challenge. In Sante Fe, we can think and talk freely, constrained only by the need to agree with reality."

Gell-Mann's "eightfold way" theory brought order to the chaos created by the discovery of some 100 particles in the atom's nucleus. He showed that all of these, as well as the neutron and proton, are composed of fundamental particles, including the ones he named "quarks." Gell-Mann is currently distinguished fellow of the Santa Fe Institute in New Mexico, which he co-founded in 1984. His work since then has focused on simplicity and complexity in nature, as described in his popular book, The Quark and the Jaguar. In addition to his affinity for science, Gell-Mann's interests include natural history, archaeology, historical linguistics, psychology and history. His diverse strengths led a colleague to say, "Murray has no particular talent for physics, but he's so smart he's a great physicist anyway."

Murray Gell-Mann Photo courtesy of AIP Emilio Segre Visual Archives Murray Gell-Mann started early. He entered Yale University at age 15. After receiving his B.S. there, he worked with Enrico Fermi at the University of Chicago. He obtained his PhD from MIT and in 1955 married archaeologist J. Margaret Dow. He has been a professor of physics and theoretical physics at California Institute of Technology for much of his career. During the 1950s, discoveries of new subatomic particles were proliferating so quickly such that scientists spoke of a "particle zoo." Gell-Mann turned his attention to some particles that behaved particularly strangely. He proposed a new quantum property of particles he called the "strangeness number." While studying particles, he found even more general characteristics that allowed him to sort them into eight "families." He called this grouping the eightfold way, referring to Buddhist philosophy's eight attributes of right living. Then he found that the eightfold way could really best be explained by a particle, undiscovered as yet, that had three parts (hadrons), each holding a fraction of a charge. He called them "quarks" with a nod to James Joyce, whose novel Finnegan's Wake contains the passage: "Three quarks for Muster Mark!" Fractional charge seemed an outrageous suggestion at first, but proof came for his theoretical quarks in 1974.

Giants of Knowledge Steven Weinberg , University of Texas at Austin Steven Weinberg is a giant of theoretical physics. He received the Nobel Prize in 1979 for inventing a theory that unifies two of the four fundamental forces of nature. A talented author, he wrote the international popular science best seller "The First Three Minutes". He is professor at the University of Texas at Austin. "I think that one of the things that I love so much about physics is the dialogue with nature... and this dialogue is not one in which nature always agrees with the physicists!"

Carlo Rubbia is a former director of CERN, the European laboratory for particle physics, and a fearless experimental physicist. He shared the Nobel Prize in 1984 with Simon van der Meer for the discovery of particles that proved Steven Weinberg's theory on the unification of forces.

Science Is this the cleverest man in the world? He won a Nobel prize, but since then his interests have widened. Now he's on a quest for a real Theory of Everything Murray Gell-Mann has been described as The Man With Five Brains and it's not hard to understand why. He is an emeritus professor of physics, an international advisor on the environment, an authority on the origin of languages, arms control and foreign relations oh yes, and he has a Nobel prize for solving a key mystery of the universe. Despite his sprite-like appearance, he also has a reputation for dealing with fools the way a killer whale deals with penguins. But then, it cannot be easy being The Man With Five Brains in a world with more than its fair share of Men With Half A Brain. Pausing in London to talk to Focus about his new book on the science of (almost) everything, he pulls out a slip of paper he has been given in a major London bookstore. It shows that his book The Quark and the Jaguar has been classified under "Fiction - General", and the author as "Mann, M. Gell" .A review in the Sunday Times spells his name Gell-Man." For someone who spends his time thinking about subjects most people cannot even spell, it must all be a bit wearing. But he has had time to get used to it: the fact is Gell-Mann has been a prodigy almost all his 65 years.

Nobel Prize-winning Physicist to Lecture on the Simple and the Complex By Marci Janas Murray Gell-Mann N OVEMBER Murray Gell-Mann , winner of the 1969 Nobel Prize in physics for his work on the theory of elementary particles, will deliver a free public lecture at 4:30 P.M. Monday, November 15, in King 306. The title of his talk is "Plectics: The Study of Simplicity and Complexity." Gell-Mann, who introduced the word quark into the lexicon, is the author of the popular science book The Quark and the Jaguar: Adventures in the Simple and the Complex. Gell-Mann's eightfold-way theory brought order to the chaos created by the discovery of some 100 particles in the atom's nucleus. Later Gell-Mann found that all the particles, including the neutron and proton, are composed of fundamental building blocks that he named quarks. He and others have constructed the quantum field theory of quarks and gluons, called quantum chromodynamics, which seems to account for all the nuclear particles and their strong interactions. The winner of many other awards and honors, Gell-Mann is professor and cochair of the Santa Fe Institute Science Board and the Robert Andrews Millikan Professor of Theoretical Physics Emeritus at the California Institute of Technology. (Millikan, also a Nobel Prize-winner, graduated from Oberlin College in 1891.) Gell-Mann taught at Cal Tech from 1955 until 1993.

20. Complexity Conference To Feature Nobel Laureate Gell-Mann Speakers include nobel laureate murray Gell Mann and Alex d'Arbeloff(SB 1949), Chairman of Teradyne and of the MIT Corporation. http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/tt/1999/nov10/complexity.html

Published by the MIT News Office at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Mass. November 10 Tech Talk Search MIT News ... MIT WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1999 Complexity conference to feature Nobel laureate Gell-Mann Engineering is in the midst of an explosion of complexity. New semiconductor chips contain a billion subcircuits. A new car contains 20 microprocessors. Home health care systems are being designed that monitor the heartbeat and temperature of a home's occupants. A conference November 19-20 at the University Hotel in Cambridge, sponsored by MIT and the Santa Fe Institute, will address this trend by bringing together a variety of people from academia and industry who are working on complex systems. Speakers include Nobel laureate Murray Gell Mann and Alex d'Arbeloff (SB 1949), Chairman of Teradyne and of the MIT Corporation. "Cars, computers, and even toasters are more complex than they were 10 years ago. But greater complexity brings both new benefits and new problems. For example, the new computerized cars can be more flexible and reliable than the old `dumb' ones, but when they break down, they do so in weird new ways. The purpose of the conference is to determine the implications this `complexification' has for society, and to develop techniques and strategies for engineering complex but reliable systems," said Seth Lloyd, organizer of the Complexity in Engineering Conference and the Finmeccanica Career Development Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering.
