Sam Treiman was Weinberg'd advisor, and he was also my advisor.

  • Weinberg received his PhD degree in 1957, and I received mine in 1961. Weinberg invented his own physics in 1969 and received his Nobel prize in 1979.

  • I became seriously interested in Wigner's paper only after publishing paper on the parton picture in 1977.

  • I became interested in Lorentz-boosting oscillator wave functions, in accordance with Wigner's representation theory. Here is my 1979 first paper along this line.

  • I became aware of Wigner's 1939 paper while I was a graduate student (1958-61), but was not able to do anything about it. After publishing my first paper on this subject in 1979, I became interested in the papers Weinberg published in 1964, particularly on massless particles.

  • After publishing a number of papers on Wigner and Weinberg, and I was able to accumulate enough resources to tell Wigner stories he wanted to hear. I started telling him those stories in 1985.
