Werner Heisenberg focused on unassailable facts that would survive no matter what new theory might arise in the future.

When two particles collide, they may experience many quantum transformations before the final products emerge.

By studying the rules and patterns of this matrix, he guaranteed that his work would stand the test of time.

Physicists are once more returning to the one idea they know will remain: the S-matrix.

Some physicists are broadening the search launched by Geoffrey Chew’s group.

Others are exploring the space of viable theories with no Lagrangian , which may be needed for quantum gravity.
