Honor

It is reported that the official website of the Nobel Prize, the Nobel Committee of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Physics 2004 was awarded to three American scientists David Gross, wear DAVID Politzer and Frank Wilczek.

single Nobel Prize in 2004, the total prize money of 10 million Swedish kronor, or about $ 1.36 million. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded three scientists the Nobel Prize in physics in the statement that they are for achievements in the theory of quarks (strong role) made with regard only to receive this award. Quark is the nature of the smallest elementary particles. The three scientists to study quarks, make science closer to achieving it as a "theory of everything to build" dream.

The main contribution

What is the nature of the smallest constituent units? How tiny particles composed of all things around us? These fundamental problems plaguing the twentieth century physicists.

People began to think that molecule is the smallest, but later found a smaller atom, then later protons and neutrons ...... quark is proven science, nature smallest elementary particles. For achievements in the theory of quarks made, American scientists - David Gross, David Politzer and Frank Wilczek won the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physics.

"to build everything theory" is the ultimate dream of all scientists. With these three research scientists, at least in the "tiniest world", people realize the dream trip a big step forward.
