Victor Frederick Weisskopf: The Man of Insight - His Journey Into the Depths of Physics (1992)

Victor (Viki) Frederick Weisskopf on Landau and Feynman, 1992; The History of Physics Series ----------------- Institute for Advanced Physics Studies, Stefan University; The HISTORY of PHYSICS Series. V. Alexander Stefan talks with Viki Weisskopf: June 17, 1992, La Jolla, California, USA. --------------------- Victor Frederick Weissskopf, (1908-2002), a Jewish born American physicist, is considered one of the true luminaries of the 20th century physics. ----------------- Lev Landau, (1908-1968), A Nobel prize winning Soviet physicist, made a number of fundamental contributions in various fields of physics, such as superfluidity theory, superconductivity, (Ginzburg-Landau theory), the theory of Fermi liquid, the quantum theory of diamagnetism, and plasma physics,(Landau damping). ------------------ Richard Phillips Feynman, (1918-1988), an American physicist, developed the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics and made fundamental contributions to quantum electrodynamics, the physics of the superfluidity, and particle physics.
