After a wonderful #McDonaldInstitute annual national meeting in #Kingston #Ontario, we found shelter from the rain in a lovely used #book store ... and I found a few gems to keep me busy for a while.
The "Mesons and Fields" find is a real treat. Published in 1955, it will have captured the state for quantum theory BEFORE spontaneous symmetry breaking was applied to the weak and electromagnetic forces... 7 years ahead of that breakthrough.
From the #McDonaldInstitute over on #Facebook:
“Oh, it's on! 🤜🤛 Theory vs Experiment.
Tonight - 6:30 - 8:30 at the Kingston Brewing Company, 34 Clarence St. 📌
Free snacks, good company, and the Great Debate!
See you there!🤩”
If you’re in the vicinity of #Kingston tonight, drop on in for food, company, and a science showdown … whatever that is!
