Dr. Abdus Salam :: biographies biography bio

Dr. Salam was born in the small resolution of Jhang, present day Pakistan in 1926 where he attended the first fewer years of school. His father was an official in the De arrayment of Education for the piteous farming district. A fast learner Dr. Salam attended the University of the Punjab at the eld of 13 and at the age of 14 he received the highest be ever recorder for the Matriculation Examination at the university. Due to his bang-up grades he received a full scholarship to the Government College, University of Punjab.In 1946 he obtained his MA in physics and then that very identical year he was awarded with a scholarship to St. Johns College, Cambridge where he got a range of a function BA with honors in mathematics and physics in 1949 and then a Ph. D in Theoretical Physics from Cambridge in 1952. At this visor in his he had already received the Smiths Prize by the University of Cambridge for the closely outstanding pre-doctoral contribution to physics (1950).Then in 1 951 Dr. Salam returned to his roots to nurture mathematics at the Government College, Lahore, Pakistan. Since Dr. Salam was a man who was very given up to his religion and because he belonged to the Ahmadiyya Muslim sect, considered heretical by galore(postnominal) Muslims, he decided to leave his beloved Pakistan when the stigma of being a part of the Ahmadiyya sect became too much and the realization that he would not be able to continue his research in physics in such conditions. So in 1954 Dr. Salam left Pakistan for a lectureship at Cambridge.After many years of contributions to the world of physics at many different schools and institutions, including, Cambridge, capital of the United Kingdom University, Imperial College of London, Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton, and many others, in 1979 Dr. Salam received a Nobel Prize in physics for the work he had done in the electrofaint theory, which is the mathematical and conceptual synthesis of the electromagnetic and wea k interactions-the latest stage reached until now on the path towards the unification of the constitutional forces of nature. Salam, Sheldon Glashow, and Steven Weinberg arrived at the theory independently and shared the prize. (http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdus_Salam). At this point he finally felt he had gotten the love of his beloved Pakistan and served on many Pakistani comities.Quantum Electrodynamics or QED is the quantum field theory which describes the properties of the electromagnetic forces. totally forces or interactions of nature are thought to be comprised of 4 fundamental forces, Gravity, Electromagnetism, Strong nuclear force, and the Weak nuclear force.
