    Extractions: (written in 1995) Aabstract: Paul A. M. Dirac was a great physicist. Wigner used to call him "my famous brother-in-law." How did they become brothers-in-law? Did these two great physicists have the same view toward physics? I have been asked by the organizers of this Symposium to write about Eugene Wigner's life. Yes, he was a great physicist and was a great human being. I have been fortunate enough to have been associated with him especially in his late years. However, it will require years of full-time research to write his biography if anyone decides to do so. In the meantime, there is a an excellent book about him entitled "Recollections of Eugene P. Wigner as told by Andrew Szanton" [1]. Eugene Wigner with his parents and two sisters. On his right is Manci Dirac. According to this review, I am in a position to say something about Wigner and his brother-in-law whose name was Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac. When I was visiting Wigner frequently during the period 198590, he had two sisters living in the United States. They were all born in Hungary in a well-to-do family. His elder sister was in Binghamton (New York), and his younger sister was and still is in Tallahassee (Florida). The elder sister's health was deteriorating, and Wigner was always concerned about her and talking about her. The younger sister's name is Margit Dirac or Mrs. Paul A. M. Dirac. She is known as Manci in the physics community. One day when I was in Wigner's office at Princeton, he made a telephone call to Manci in order to say "Happy Birthday" to her. After a brief talk in Hungarian, Wigner laughed and told me Manci was complaining that his call disrupted her shopping trip. He then told me how she became Mrs. Dirac.

    Extractions: Wigner, Eugene Paul Hungarian-born US physicist who introduced the notion of parity, or symmetry theory, into nuclear physics, showing that all nuclear processes should be indistinguishable from their mirror images. For this and other work on nuclear structure, he shared the 1963 Nobel Prize for Physics. Educated at the Lutheran Gymnasium in Budapest, Wigner took up postgraduate studies in Berlin where he was present at Albert Einstein's seminars in the 1920s. He emigrated to the USA in 1930, and became a US citizen 1937. He was one of the scientists who persuaded President Roosevelt to commit the USA to developing the atom bomb. In 1960, he was awarded the Atoms for Peace Award, in recognition of his vigorous support for the peaceful use of atomic energy. He taught as a professor of mathematics at Princeton University for 40 years until his retirement 1971.

    Extractions: Dr. Turinsky Dr. Paul J. Turinsky, professor and head of nuclear engineering at North Carolina State University, has been selected to receive the Eugene P. Wigner Reactor Physicist Award by the American Nuclear Society (ANS). Considered the highest international award in the field, it was established by ANS in 1990 to recognize outstanding reactor physicists for their contributions. Turinsky joined the NC State faculty in 1980. He has received many awards for his contributions to nuclear engineering, including the E.O. Lawrence Award in Nuclear Technology from the U.S. Department of Energy in 2002. His research centers on developing improved nuclear reactor core analysis and design software tools. He received his B.S. in chemical engineering from the University of Rhode Island in1966; his M.S.E. and Ph.D. in nuclear engineering from the University of Michigan in 1967 and 1970, respectively; and his M.B.A. in business administration from the University of Pittsburgh in 1979.

58. The Unreasonable Effectiveness Of Mathematics In The Natural Sciences

    Extractions: Reading Materials by Eugene Wigner Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beautya beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of painting or music, yet sublimely pure, and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show. The true spirit of delight, the exaltation, the sense of being more than Man, which is the touchstone of the highest excellence, is to be found in mathematics as surely as in poetry. BERTRAND RUSSELL, Study of Mathematics THERE IS A story about two friends, who were classmates in high school, talking about their jobs. One of them became a statistician and was working on population trends. He showed a reprint to his former classmate. The reprint started, as usual, with the Gaussian distribution and the statistician explained to his former classmate the meaning of the symbols for the actual population, for the average population, and so on. His classmate was a bit incredulous and was not quite sure whether the statistician was pulling his leg. "How can you know that?" was his query. "And what is this symbol here?" "Oh," said the statistician, "this is pi." "What is that?" "The ratio of the circumference of the circle to its diameter." "Well, now you are pushing your joke too far," said the classmate, "surely the population has nothing to do with the circumference of the circle."

59. Remembering Eugene Wigner And Pondering His Legacy
    of Science I/1,1988, p 5, reprinted in Fizikai Szemle, 92, 1992, p. 436 when on vacationin Budapest I got an unexpected invitation for tea from eugene wigner.  
    http://www.europhysicsnews.com/full/20/article5/article5.html
    
    Extractions: W hen I looked into the 1992, November issue of Fizikai Szemle in which Wigner was celebrated on his 90 th birthday, I saw the list of his well over 300 publications in all branches of physics, in chemistry and in pure mathematics. My first reaction was to withdraw from this attempt of doing him justice in a single talk. On some reflection I thought of a way out. The early years Wigner's life coincided with the 20 th century. He was almost of the same "quantum age" as Heisenberg and Pauli, however, these two were in the center of the Copenhagen School and from 1925 on were among the main architects of quantum mechanics (QM). By contrast 1925 was the year when Wigner graduated as chemical engineer in Berlin. He must have felt way behind these pioneers, yet, he soon became one of the leaders of the new discipline. Moreover we shall see that his being rooted in chemistry sheds light on some of the subtler aspects of QM. Michael Polanyi was among Wigner's mentors in chemistry. Their joint work on molecular reaction chemistry is one of the standard papers in the field. After obtaining his engineering degree Wigner returned to Budapest to work in the tanning factory where his father was director. He felt frustrated, but Polanyi came to the rescue with an invitation to Berlin to an assistantship in x-ray crystallography. Wigner resumed attendance at the physics colloquium and felt great attraction to QM. The factory had been a dead-end, but the chemical training and his sensitization to mathematics in school were positive influences, since QM was basically a novel confluence of physics, mathematics and chemistry.
