(1932– ), American physicist and Nobel laureate, who helped to span what appeared to be divergent explanations of the physical world and advance physics toward a single unifying theory. Born in New York City, Glashow went to Bronx High School of Science, Cornell University, and Harvard University, where he received a Ph.D. in physics in 1958. After five years at the University of California in Berkeley, he returned to Harvard to work on a theory involving the unification of weak interactions and electromagnetism. In 1979 he shared the Nobel Prize in physics with the physicists Steven Weinberg of Harvard and Abdus Salam of the University of London for devising a theory that demonstrates the identity of electromagnetic interactions of particles and interactions caused by weak nuclear force.
