Yoichiro Nambu

Hello, this is my 6th post, and this post is about Yoichiro Nambu the winner of the 2008 Nobel Price of Phisics, I choose this person because, he teach me that if you study a career or you have studies, it dosen't matter, because, you will do anything thay you want, and also you can helped to people.

Nambu was born in Tokyo, Japan, in 1921. He graduated from the then Fukui Secondary High School in Fukui City,  In 1949 he was appointed to associate professor at the Osaka City University and promoted to professorship the next year at the age of 29.

In 1952, he was invited by the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, United States, to study. He moved to the University of Chicago in 1954 and was promoted to professor in 1958. He became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1970.

Nambu is famous for having proposed the "color charge" of quantum chromodynamics, for having done early work on spontaneous symmetry breaking in particle physics, and for having discovered that the dual resonance model could be explained as a quantum mechanical theory of strings. He is accounted as one of the founders of string theory.

Nambu has won numerous honors and awards including  Japan's Order of Culture (1978), the U.S.'s National Medal of Science (1982),  the Wolf Prize in Physics (1994/1995), and the Franklin Institute's Benjamin Franklin Medal (2005). He was awarded one-half of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physics "for the discovery of the mechanism of spontaneous broken symmetry in subatomic physics"
