   Extractions: 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]:-

   Extractions: Eugene Paul Wigner , born in Budapest, Hungary, on November 17, 1902, naturalized a citizen of the United States on January 8, 1937, has been since 1938 Thomas D. Jones Professor of Mathematical Physics at Princeton University - he retired in 1971. His formal education was acquired in Europe; he obtained the Dr. Ing. degree at the Technische Hochschule Berlin . Married in 1941 to Mary Annette Wheeler, he is the father of two children, David and Martha. His son, David, is teaching mathematics at the University of California in Berkeley. His daughter, Martha, is with the Chicago area transportation system, an organization endeavoring to improve the internal transportation system of that city. Dr.Wigner worked on the Manhattan Project at the University of Chicago during World War II, from 1942 to 1945, and in 1946-1947 became Director of Research and Development at Clinton Laboratories. Official recognition of his work in nuclear research includes the U. S. Medal for Merit, presented in 1946; the Enrico Fermi Prize (U.S.A.E.C.) awarded in 1958; and the Atoms for Peace Award, in 1960. Dr. Wigner holds the Medal of the Franklin Society, the Max Planck Medal of the German Physical Society, the George Washington Award of the American-Hungarian Studies Foundation (1964), the Semmelweiss Medal of the American-Hungarian Medical Association (1965), and the National Medal of Science (1969). He has received honorary degrees from the University of Wisconsin Washington University , Case Institute

   Extractions: 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 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.

    Extractions: 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.

    Extractions: 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.

18. ANS : Honors And Awards : Eugene P. Wigner Reactor Physicist Award : Letter
    the eugene P. wigner Reactor Physicist Award requires a willingness and formal acceptanceon the part of the candidate to be designated as a eugene P. wigner  
    http://www.ans.org/honors/sd/wigner-letter.html
    
    Extractions: The Reactor Physics Division (RPD) of the American Nuclear Society has established the Eugene P. Wigner Reactor Physicist Award to provide recognition to persons who have made outstanding contributions toward the advancement of the field of nuclear reactor physics. The inaugural Eugene P. Wigner award was presented to Dr. Wigner in 1990. The award will be administered by the Reactor Physics Division with the assistance of the ANS staff. When possible, one such award will be made each year following procedures established by the RPD. The honoree will be presented with an engraved plaque at the Awards Luncheon or at a special ceremony organized by the RPD and held at the time of the Winter Meeting of the Society. Nominations are made on a standard form, which is attached. Three sponsors are required, one of which must be an ANS Fellow. One sponsor shall be designated as the principal sponsor. The principal sponsor has the responsibility of (a) securing the required letters of recommendations from the other two co-sponsors, (b) assembling the nomination package and (c) submitting it to the ANS headquarters along with his or her own recommendation of the nominee by the deadline indicated in the Call-for-Nominations announcement. Sponsors of a given candidate should be dispersed geographically, and only one may be from the home institute of the candidate. Evidence of the candidate's contribution shall be submitted in the form of written recommendations from the sponsors and others as appropriate, specifying the candidate's outstanding accomplishments and contributions that have benefitted the field of nuclear reactor physics to the degree meriting consideration for the Eugene P. Wigner Reactor Physicist Award. The selection of the Eugene P. Wigner Reactor Physicist Award is determined by critical review and assessment of submitted credentials and qualifications; hence, due care should be exercised in preparation of the nomination package. In the process of review and selection, emphasis is placed on excellence of achievement in the field of nuclear reactor physics as evidenced by (a) outstanding original research, documented in refereed scientific journals or major publications and by (b) outstanding leadership in reactor physics.
