- Professor Leo P. Kadanoff won the award for inventing conceptual tools that reveal the deep implications of scale invariance on the behavior of phase transitions and dynamical systems.
He works at the University of Chicago and presented the Newton Lecture at the Institute of Physics in London.
I worked with Kadanoff at the Univ of Illinois at Urbana during my postdoc year 1965-6 while he was developing his scale invariance ideas, and published some rather minor papers on critical phenomena at that time.
Are you the Josephson of Josephson junctions?
@@DavidVonR Yes.
@@brian.josephson No frikken way!! You're a famous physicist!! I was just reading about Josephson junctions in a book on dynamical systems! They use quantum effects to create a potential difference when classically this would be impossible, if I'm not mistaken.
Holly molly… I only know you as a nobel laureate of physics, before I just see your name from acknowledgement of kadanoff block spin paper, “I would like to thank Dr. P.C. Martin and Dr. Brian Josephson for very helpful comments.” 😱
In their seminal paper, “Renormalization and the epsilon-expansion”, Wilson and Kogut state:
“Kadanoff had a brilliant idea which allows the hopeless problem with large correlation length to be replaced by one with a small correlation length”. Given that those physicists were brilliant themselves, puts things into perspective! In the introduction to their paper, they review Kadanoff’s ideas. Kadanoff's chain of arguments are perhaps one of the most beautiful reasoning’s in all of physics.

He truly enjoyed his work!
Professor thanks for your great contributions! You are eternal!
Goosebumps! This video can give inspiration even in extreme depression and grim situations. Fortunate to had/have such persons in the same globe 🌎. You and your works are awesome and will remain so till the last day of physics (if there is any).
thank you for the moral... hard work is important!
Awesome! Lots of physicist should be helpers like Kadanoff!
AnuarPhysics for hydrogen???
sorry
Great physicists, indeed!
Even if it takes u a long time to learn , dont ever give up , thats the lessons i learned
Great Respect !
I would definitely talk to him all day long without boredom! God, I wish I could've talked to him!
just what I needed
We use his formulation to simulate spin transport.
I remember that also Kadanoff worked with Gordon Baym
A respectable Life's Cycle of modest achievements. Well done.
Respects from India 🇮🇳
His collaboration with Gordon Baym comes to mind, less than 1:36 into the video
An inspiration
great man❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
respect
R.I.P
Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle. :D
wiggle, Yeah!
God bless you, Leo.
Nice to see and hear.
Losing your creativity after 30 is a nonsense/myth however. If you want to be a physicist, you can do it! It's just hard work 😁
There are no little people on electrons as that would make them divisible, which has yet to be revealed.
Leo Philip Kadanoff (1937 - 2015).
nice.
Wiggle = oscillation
Was it a « phase transition » or a « Face Transition »? @ ~3:51
Was a pun. Was a good one lol : )
Hay , I’m not a physician, just for common knowledge about the theory of dimension, dimensions number one and 2 supposed to be less than humans who can deal with 3 dimensions, what is the creatures that lives in dimensions 1 and 2 , I wonder according to this theory?
U should say that you're not a physicist not physician. Physician in french is médecin, meanwhile Physicist is physicien in french.
I think u speak french. In case u speak arabic here is the difference between both :
Physician : طبيب
Physicist : فيزيائي
@@wajdialahmad9428 thank you, however i think it doesn’t affect the understanding of my question which no one answered it anywhere.

U r welcome Ahmad. U r welcome.
Wel, l am studying engineering now but i will leave it for studying physics after two months insha Allah. I can answer a part of ur question and i hope that my answer will satisfy to u.
For me, dimensions are something emotional it means that we have 3 dimensions because humans cannot leave in more or less than 3D and couldn't feel other dimensions bcs their motion doesn't need more than 3D. I will give u an example ; suppose we have a rope where the cross section can be ignored due to its smallness. If a human wants to walk on that rope, he only can move in one direction, either forward or backward. So the capacity of human to move on the rope makes him considering that rope something one-dimensional. But if we have an ant that wants to walk on the same rope, this ant due to its size will see the rope differently from human ; the ant can move farward and backward and that is one dimenion, but it can also turn around the rope without falling down, so the rope for the ant is two-dimensional meanwhile it is only 1D for a human. So u see how the more u can move on something, the more u have consciousness about other dimensions. I hope this explanation responds to ur question.
Have a nice day.

rip
sorry sir electron revolves around nucleus with consist of a proton and neutron too...
Om Sabnis for hydrogen 1 proton is in nucleous
It's from a comic book
