Steven Weinberg, who has died aged 88, shared the 1979 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on elementary particles and the interactions between them; his research, uniting two of nature’s fundamental forces – the weak and the electromagnetic – underpins what is known as the “Standard Model” of particle physics, a wildly successful theoretical framework being continuously tested by the Large Hadron Collider.

Weinberg, a theoretical physicist who discovered that two of the universe’s forces are really the same, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize, and who helped lay the foundation for the development of the Standard Model, a theory that classifies all known elementary particles in the universe, making it one of the most important breakthroughs in physics in the 20th century, died on Friday, July 23, 2021, in a hospital in Austin, Texas.
