The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Abdus Salam
- Scientific thought and its creation are the common and shared heritage of mankind.
- This sense of wonder leads most scientists to a Superior Being—der Alte, the Old One, as Einstein affectionately called the Deity—a Superior Intelligence, the Lord of all Creation and Natural Law.
- The creation of physics is the shared heritage of all mankind. East and West, North and South, have equally participated in it.
- I’m afraid there’s a big confusion in the world between nuclear power and nuclear arms.
- Soon I knew the craft of experimental physics was beyond me; it was the sublime quality of patience—patience in accumulating data, patience with recalcitrant equipment—which I sadly lacked.
- Alfred Nobel stipulated that no distinction of race or colour would determine who received his generosity.
- In this respect, the history of science, like the history of all civilizations, has gone through cycles.
- From time immemorial, man has desired to comprehend the complexity of nature in terms of as few elementary concepts as possible.
- Personally, I would like to see that the nuclear age, in terms of power, does come, because there’s no long-term future for developing countries without nuclear power.
- People either buy nuclear power, nuclear reactors from outside, and don’t train their own men, or they just don’t go into nuclear power at all, they are so afraid of it.
Abdus Salam (1926–1996) was a Pakistani theoretical physicist who made significant contributions to the field of particle physics. Born in Jhang, British India (now in Pakistan), Salam pursued his education at Government College University in Lahore and later earned a doctorate in theoretical physics from the University of Cambridge.
Salam’s work focused on unifying electromagnetism and the weak nuclear force, leading to the development of the electroweak theory. This groundbreaking achievement earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1979, shared with Sheldon Glashow and Steven Weinberg. The electroweak theory became a cornerstone of the Standard Model of particle physics.
Despite his scientific achievements, Salam faced challenges due to his religious beliefs, as he was an Ahmadi Muslim in a predominantly Sunni Muslim country. In 1974, Pakistan’s government declared the Ahmadiyya community non-Muslim, affecting Salam’s standing in his home country. He eventually moved to Europe and played a key role in the establishment of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Italy, where he worked to promote scientific research in developing countries.
Abdus Salam’s legacy extends beyond his scientific contributions, as he remains a symbol of dedication to advancing knowledge and promoting science on a global scale.
