奧本海默傳中這一奇人:
Luis Walter Alvarez (1911~1988)
在索引中有5~6條,第一條是 Luis Walter Alvarez 在理髮中看到德國科學報導,即刻趕回去, 跟奧本海默講,狀況不妙......奧本海默說,這是不可能的......
第2天, Alvarez 請奧本海默去他實驗室,他用自行設計的試驗,證明,理論上,(後來的原子彈)是可能的.....
多才多藝,屢有跨行突破,除了諾貝爾物理獎之外.....引人入勝的自傳Alvarez: Adventures of a Physicist. 1987

This is a richly absorbing autobiography by the physicist whose hydrogen bubble-chamber experiments won him the 1968 Nobel Prize in his field. Alvarez launches his "adventures" with a gripping description of his participation in (via an observation plane) the Enola Gay's historic mission over Hiroshima in 1945. Personally as well as scientifically forthright and plainspoken, he holds the reader with the story of his life as a scientist, much of the time at Berkeley, Calif., working with such men as Robert Oppenheimer, Ernest Lawrence and Enrico Fermi. Central to this account is the picture of life at Los Alamos climaxed by the first A-bomb test in 1945. But subsequent episodes describing work in small-particle physics, capped by a recent switch to "impact" theory that explains the dinosaur extinction 65 million years ago, are equal highlights.

這是一部引人入勝的自傳,作者是一位物理學家,他憑藉氫氣泡室實驗獲得了1968年的諾貝爾物理學獎。阿爾瓦雷斯以引人入勝的描述開啟了他的“冒險之旅”,即1945年他(通過一架觀測機)參與埃諾拉·蓋伊號在廣島上空的歷史性任務的經歷。他不僅在個人生活方面,在科學方面也直言不諱,用他作為科學家的生命故事深深吸引讀者。他大部分的時間都在加州伯克利,與羅伯特·奧本海默、歐內斯特·勞倫斯和恩里科·費米等人合作。本書的核心是洛斯阿拉莫斯的生活圖景,以1945年第一次原子彈試驗為高潮。但隨後他描述小粒子物理學工作的片段,以及最近轉向「撞擊」理論,解釋了6500萬年前恐龍滅絕的原因,也同樣精彩。照片。
