In Memorium Philip Anderson
March 30, 2020Philip Anderson has died at the age of 96. Worshiped (not too strong a word) by physicist of the condensed matter tribe, Anderson was also the father of Susan Anderson, an old (and missed) friend of Rabett Run to whom Eli and Brian extend their condolences in this time of her sorrow and difficulty.
Philip Anderson's Nobel Prize autobiography provides clues about him, his work and his life.
