Talk:Melvin Schwartz

Untitled

I suggest removing the sentence "He provided the research setting for six Nobel Prize-winning projects during those 13 years, as well as hosting about a half dozen future laureates, either as students or as post-doctoral researchers." This text refers to I.I. Rabi and not to Schwartz, who was just an undergrad at the time. A reader unfamiliar with Rabi would not realize this and would believe the statement is about Schwartz.

Well, no one has done this or commented on my suggestion since I put it here several months ago. Professor Schwartz passed away this week, so his page is likely to get much more traffic than usual. I've gone ahead and made the change.

Should anybody address the fact that if you name your child Melvin Schwartz you are basically guaranteeing that he will grow up to be something like a particle physicist —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.91.147.35 (talk) 17:24, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

No, no one should address that. It is a stupid comment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.183.178.149 (talk) 21:24, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
