Talk:Leon M. Lederman

message: I propose that the text about directing any specific scientist while at Fermilab be removed (e. g., Daniel Kaplan).  During Dr. Lederman's tenure, many prominent physicists were at Fermilab and singling any out is not appropriate. Bryan MacKinnon (talk) 23:18, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Dr. Lederman wrote an essay for Newsweek, entitled "What We’ll Find Inside The Atom" for a September 2008 issue of Newsweek. I found it at the Newsweek web site. Maybe it will be useful for this article: http://www.newsweek.com/id/157516 Ti-30X (talk) 01:04, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dr. Leon Lederman Essay 

message: Pretty much the main claim this guy has to wiki notability (this thread is about missing content not the subject's notability) is calling the Higgs the "God Particle". Yet nowhere here or in the book article can I find any indication of his actual beliefs what so ever. There are three likely outcomes, in order of probability: plain atheist like most scientist, "spiritual not religious" or similar prevarication which would tend not to play well in the physics community, and one of the religious denominations of Judaism. Whatever is almost certainly discoverable and reportable and the article needs this fact. 72.228.190.243 (talk) 00:13, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  One thing that puzzles me about Wikipedia is that posts such as the above aren't deleted. Of course, notability isn't defined, so is mostly a matter of opinion. Personally, anyone who thinks a Lederman is known for the title of a book does not have a notable opinion. For other's information, it is my understanding that the title was suggested (by whom? IDK) to be The God Damn Particle in reference to the difficulty in detecting it, but the publisher or editor vetoed the use of "Damn". So, it isn't clear to me that he authored the phrase "the God Particle" although clearly his name must be associated with it. It isn't clear that this association is notable in his biography here.72.16.99.93 (talk) 22:05, 26 December 2018 (UTC)

message: Hello! the second picture is labeled with May 2007 - but I think, that ist NOT the date of taking the photo but from uploading it (compare Mr. Ledermann in 1988 in the first pic) --Kai.pedia (talk) 13:26, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Looks like the Mobius Strip at Fermilab. The windows behind the sculpture also look like the Wilson tower at Fermilab. See this image. Cheers! Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 17:46, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  pic from May 2007 

message: The fourth paragraph of the Career section starts with the sentence: "In 1956 parity is violated in weak interactions" This is obviously wrong, since parity was violated in weak interactions long before 1956. I am not sure what the editor meant; is it that in 1956 parity was discovered to be violated by Wu´s group, and Lederman heard about it? If so, it would be better to explicitly say so, as this would also explain why Lederman waited to publish his results so that they would appear at the same time as Wu´s.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.0.53.144 (talk) 21:02, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Confusing sentence abou Parity violation 

message: I fail to see how the sentence "Despite his Jewish background, Lederman is [sic] an atheist." is anything but bigoted. If his childhood had a significant religious component, that should be mentioned. The ethnicity of his parents has NOTHING (necessarily) to say about his (early) religious practices or beliefs, does it?72.16.99.93 (talk) 22:30, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
