Would physics at Geneva be as good as physics at Harvard? I think not. Rome? I think not. In Britain, I don't think there is one place, neither Cambridge nor Oxford, which can compare with Harvard. Sheldon Lee Glashow britaincambridgecompare Change image and share on social
Chemistry is good for fun - it's like baseball. It has its role for small children, but I can't see an adult being concerned with it. Sheldon Lee Glashow adultbaseballchemistry Change image and share on social
One of the principal achievements of physics in the 20th century has been the revelation that the atom is not indivisible or elementary at all but has a complex structure. Sheldon Lee Glashow 20thachievementatom Change image and share on social

In 1969, John Iliopoulos and Luciano Maiani came to Harvard as research fellows. Together, we found the arguments that predicted the existence of charmed hadrons. Sheldon Lee Glashow argumentcharmexistence Change image and share on social
There are physicists, and there are string theorists. Of course the string theorists are physicists, but the string theorists in general will not attend lectures on experimental physics. They will not be terribly concerned about the results of experiments. They will talk to one another. Sheldon Lee Glashow attendconcernexperiment share on social
From an early age, I knew I would become a scientist. It may have been my brother Sam's doing. He interested me in the laws of falling bodies when I was ten and helped my father equip a basement chemistry lab for me when I was fifteen. I became skilled in the synthesis of selenium halides.
