The Hungarian version of Eugene Paul Wigner From the time he was five years old Wigner was given private tuition at home. When he was ten years old he entered an elementary school but about a year after he began his studies at the school he was told that he had tuberculosis. The cure was to be found in sending him to a sanatorium in Breitenstein in Austria and he spent six weeks there before being told that the diagnosis had been wrong and that he had never had tuberculosis. However, one advantage of his six weeks was that he began to think about mathematical problems [13]:- I had to lie on a deck chair for days on end, and I worked terribly hard on constructing a triangle if the three altitudes are given. In 1915 Wigner entered the Lutheran High School in Budapest. Here he met John von Neumann who was in the class below him. However he wrote [8]:-

The Limits of Science
Article # : Section : NATURAL SCIENCE Issue Date : 4,671 Words Author : Eugene P. Wigner
The present discussion is not put forward with the usual pride of the scientist who feels that he can make an addition, however small, to a problem which has aroused his and his colleagues' interest. Rather, it is a speculation of a kind which all of us feel a great reluctance to undertake: much like the speculation on the ultimate fate of somebody who is very dear to us. It is a speculation on the future of science itself, whether it will share, at some very distant future, the fate of "Alles was entsteht ist wert dass es zu Grunde geht." (All that exists is worthy of passing away.) Naturally, in such a speculation one wishes to assume the best of conditions for one's subject and disregard the danger of an accident that may befall it, however real that danger may be.
The Growth of Science
The most remarkable thing about Science is its youth. The earliest beginning of chemistry, as we now know it, certainly does not antedate Boyle's Sceptical Chemist, which appeared in 1661. More probably, one would place the birthyear of chemistry around the years of activity of Lavoisier, between 1770 and 1790, or count its years from Dalton's law in 1808. Physics is somewhat older; Newton's Principia, a rather finished work, became available in 1687. Archimedes discovered laws of physics around 250 B.C., but his discoveries hardly can be called the real beginning of physics. On the whole, one is probably safe in saying that Science is less than 300 years old. This number has to be compared with the age of Man, which is certainly greater than 100,000 years.

Wigner, Eugene Paul (1902-1995)

Hungarian-American physicist who studied in Berlin before moving to Princeton in 1930, where he later became professor of theoretical physics. His main contribution was in applying group theory to quantum mechanics He was among those urging the U.S. to build an atomic bomb, and he made some important contributions to the Manhattan Project. In 1927, Wigner concluded that parity is conserved in a nuclear reaction. In other words, the laws of physics should not distinguish between right and left; or between positive and negative time. This held as a central tenet of physics until 1958, when Yang and Lee showed that certain types of reaction involving the weak force such as beta decay do not conserve parity. Wigner also investigated the strong nuclear interaction which binds neutrons and protons in the nucleus and showed that it only acted over short distances. He gave his name to the "Wigner's friend paradox," a variant on the paradox. The "friend" is a human observer who replaces the cat in one of the thought experiments on quantum reality. He suggested that the entry of information about the quantum system collapses the quantum wave and reduces the hybrid state (where the "cat" is both alive and dead) to a simple cut-and-dried system.

Eugene P. Wigner: Is Mankind Bright Enough to Survive?
Article # : Section : NATURAL SCIENCE Issue Date : 4,577 Words Author : John Potjewyd
Anyone meeting Professor Eugene P. Wigner will be struck by his sincerity and deep humility. Life is important to him, and he expects everyone whom he meets to invest the same concentration in the moment as he does.
Wigner is the Thomas D. Jones Emeritus Professor of Mathematical Physics at Princeton University. In 1963 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics for improving and extending the methods of quantum mechanics.
Recognized as one of the greatest living physicists, Wigner resides in Princeton, New Jersey, close to the Institute for Advanced Studies where so many of the great physicists have worked. It was Wigner, together with his high school friend, John von Neumann, who first brought quantum theory to Princeton in 1930.
Having recently celebrated his 83rd birthday, Wigner remains fit and active, although he readily admits that he can no longer keep up with all of physics and the eighty-four journals which he receives.
