Robert Brout, a Belgian theoretical physicist, was influential in the field of particle physics and known for his contributions to the electroweak theory, which led to the prediction of the Higgs mechanism and Higgs boson. He, along with François Englert and Peter Higgs, were key figures in this groundbreaking work. Here are some notable quotes from Robert Brout:
1. **On discovery and innovation in science:**
– ”Innovation in theoretical physics demands the radical modification of basic concepts in response to experimental evidence.”
2. **On the nature of scientific research:**
– ”Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought.”
3. **On the collaboration in physics:**
– ”Physics is a collaborative effort. The role of solitary genius is a myth.”
These quotes reflect his insights into the nature of scientific thinking and the collaborative efforts required in theoretical physics. If you’re looking for something specific or more quotes, let me know!
