So, science lost another great. Steven Weinberg shared the 1979 Nobel Prize for contributing to the Standard Model (with Sheldon Glashow and Abdus Salam).
He was a scientist and a science educator, who wrote books that helped explain the most esoteric aspects of particle physics. He received numerous prizes and awards.
"The effort to understand the universe is one of the very few things that lifts a human life a little above the level of farce, and gives it some of the grace of tragedy"-Steven Weinberg in The First Three Minutes.
He inspired many, many people to go into science and is a great loss to the field.
