American physicist (born 1930)
Jerome Isaac Friedman (born March 28, 1930) is an Americanphysicist . He is institute professor and professor of physics, emeritus, at theMassachusetts Institute of Technology . He won the 1990Nobel Prize in Physics along withHenry Kendall andRichard Taylor , "for their pioneering investigations concerningdeep inelastic scattering ofelectrons onprotons and boundneutrons , which have been of essential importance for the development of thequark model in particle physics.",[ 2] protons later known to bequarks . Friedman sits on the board of sponsors of theBulletin of the Atomic Scientists
withCherry A. Murray ,Tim Hunt ,Torsten Wiesel ,Kōji Omi ,Akito Arima ,Jonathan M. Dorfan and Robert Baughman Born inChicago, Illinois to Lillian (née Warsaw) and Selig Friedman, a sewing machine salesman, Friedman's Jewish[ 3] relativity written byAlbert Einstein . He turned down a scholarship to theArt Institute of Chicago in order to study physics at theUniversity of Chicago . Whilst there he worked underEnrico Fermi , and eventually received hisPh.D. in physics in 1956. In 1960, he joined the physics faculty of theMassachusetts Institute of Technology .
In 1968–69, commuting between MIT and California, he conducted experiments withHenry W. Kendall andRichard E. Taylor at theStanford Linear Accelerator Center which gave the first experimental evidence thatprotons had an internal structure, later known to bequarks . For this, Friedman, Kendall and Taylor shared the 1990Nobel Prize in Physics . He is aninstitute professor at theMassachusetts Institute of Technology . Friedman is also a member of the board of sponsors of theBulletin of the Atomic Scientists [ 4]
In 2003, he was one of 22 Nobel laureates who signed theHumanist Manifesto .[ 5] [ 6]
Friedman is one of the 20 American recipients of the Nobel Prize in Physics to sign a letter addressed to PresidentGeorge W. Bush in May 2008, urging him to "reverse the damage done to basic science research in the Fiscal Year 2008 Omnibus Appropriations Bill" by requesting additional emergency funding for theDepartment of Energy ’sOffice of Science , theNational Science Foundation , and theNational Institute of Standards and Technology .[ 7]
Prof Friedman appeared on an episode ofDa Ali G Show , whereSacha Baron Cohen interviews Jerome as a fictional character calledAli G .[ 8]
