Julian Schwinger Quotes:
Ocupation: Theoretical Physicist
Life: February 12, 1918 - July 16, 1994
Birthday: February 12
Death: July 16
Is the purpose of theoretical physics to be no more than a cataloging of all the things that can happen when particles interact with each other and seperate? Or is it to be an understanding at a deeper level in which there are things that are not directly observable (as the underlying quantized fields are) but in terms of which we shall have a more fundamental understanding?
