Where are we going?

Some questions:

What made Brian the superb physicist that he was?

What made Brian the sort of physicist that he was?

What made Brian love amateur astronomy?

What made Brian the inspiring teacher that he soclearly was?

· · ·

BRIAN SEROT: HIS MEMEALOGY – p.2/48

Page 3: Ray Bishop, University of Manchester, Brian Serot - His Memealogy

How will we get there?

Where do the answers to such questions lie?

The answers to these and similar questions must almostcertainly lie:

more in his academic and cultural background than inhis biological background

thus more with his academic family tree than with hisbiological family tree

thus more with his memes than with his genes

thus more with his memetic history than with his genetichistory

thus more with his memealogy than with his genealogy

Memes

What is a meme?Meme: an idea, behaviour or style that spreads from person to perso n within aculture.

A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols or practices, which can be transmitted

from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals or other imitable phenomena.

In the ”nature versus nurture” debate over what makes us what we are, a gene is to nature as a

meme is to nurture.

“Just as genes propagate themselves in the gene pool by leaping from body to body via sperms or

eggs, so memes propagate themselves in the meme pool by leaping from brain to brain via a

process which, in the broad sense, can be called imitation. If a scientist hears, or reads about, a

good idea, he passes it on to his colleagues and students. He mentions it in his articles and his

lectures.ÂnâAa If the idea catches on, it can be said to propagate itself, spreading from brain to

brain. As my colleague N.K. Humphrey neatly summed up an earlier draft of this chapter: ’ ...

memes should be regarded as living structures, not just metaphorically but technically. When you

plant a fertile meme in my mind you literally parasitize my brain, turning it into a vehicle for the

meme’s propagation in just the way that a virus may parasitize the genetic mechanism of a host

cell.ÂnâAa And this isn’t just a way of talking – the meme for, say, “belief in life after death” is

actually realized physically, millions of times over, as a structure in the nervous systems of individual

men the world over.’ ” [quotation from Chap. 11 of:]

Memes

Richard Dawkins, The Selfish Gene, (Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1976) [ISBN:

0-19-286092-5]

What is memetics?Memetics: an approach to evolutionary models of cultural informationtransfer [c.f., genetics ].

What is memealogy?Memealogy: [c.f., genealogy ] I think you can now guess what it means– but don’t look it up, since I coined the word. But it ought to exist!

Brian’s Father

Brian’s “Father”: (John) Dirk Walecka (PhD: 1958, MIT / "Nuclear Saturation")

Dirk was Brian’s thesis father – hence his memealogical father .

In 1970 Walecka received the Gores Award for Excellence in Teaching from StanfordUniversity and in 1991 was the Distinguished Schiff Lecturer there.

In 1996 Dirk was the recipient of the Tom W. Bonner Prize in Nuclear Physicsawarded by the American Physical Society, with the citation:"For his preeminent theoretical guidance and inspirational leadership in exploiting electromagnetic and

weak probes of the nucleus and for his fundamental contributions to the understanding of the nucleus as

a relativistic quantum many-body system."

BRIAN SEROT: HIS MEMEALOGY – p.6/48

Page 7: Ray Bishop, University of Manchester, Brian Serot - His Memealogy

Brian’s Father

In 2009 he was the recipient of the Eugene Feenberg Memorial Medal, the premierprize in the field of quantum many-body physics, with the citation:“For theoretical contributions in electroweak interactions with nuclei, the development of relativistic field

theories of the nuclear many-body problem, and unparalleled achievements in the education of a

generation of young nuclear many-body physicists.”

Dirk has had (so far!) 37 PhD students – hence Brian’s memealogical siblings (infact, all brothers – and, as we will see, Brian’s memealogical lineage is entirelymale-dominated!).

More Questions

Some more questions:

Who was Dirk’s "father," i.e., Brian’s "grandfather"?

How far back can we go with Brian’s memealogicalfamily tree?

BRIAN SEROT: HIS MEMEALOGY – p.11/48

Brian’s Grandfather

Brian’s “Grandfather”: (Viktor Frederick) Viki Weisskopf (PhD: 1931,

Georg-August-Universität Göttingen / “Zur Theorie der Resonanzfluoreszenz”) [1908-2002]

born in Vienna, and attended 2 years at University of Vienna 1926-28

then, on recommendation of Hans Thirring, he moved to University of Göttingen at age20 to study with Max Born

his first paper was with Eugene Wigner on the quantum theory of the breadth ofspectral lines

BRIAN SEROT: HIS MEMEALOGY – p.12/48

Page 13: Ray Bishop, University of Manchester, Brian Serot - His Memealogy

Brian’s Grandfather

after his PhD he moved in 1931 to Leipzig to work with Werner Heisenberg

and then in 1932 to Berlin to work with Erwin Schrödinger

during AY 1932-33 he had a Rockefeller Fellowship to work in Copenhagen with NielsBohr and in Cambridge with Paul Dirac

during 1933-36 he was in Zürich as assistant to Wolfgang Pauli

in 1936 he went again to Copenhagen on a Fellowship in Bohr’s institute

with the rise of fascism and the Nazi persecution of Jews he decided to flee WesternEurope. Although he had offers from Soviet Union, Bohr helped him to gain

a lectureship starting in 1937 at University of Rochester

in 1943 he was invited to Los Alamos and soon became deputy to Hans Bethe forleading the Theoretical Physics Group; for a short while he was also Mayor of LosAlamos

in 1946 he moved to MIT where he essentially stayed till he retired apart from

a 5-year stint starting in 1961 as Director-General of CERN

BRIAN SEROT: HIS MEMEALOGY – p.13/48

Page 14: Ray Bishop, University of Manchester, Brian Serot - His Memealogy

Brian’s Grandfather

his first publication was in 1924, at age 15, and appeared in AstronomischeNachrichten (1924) where he co-authored a paper with his friend George Winter thatdescribed their observations from atop an 1,800m peak they had climbed, of some 100or so shooting stars of the annual Perseid shower, which they classified as to colourand appearance!

Viki had many honours and awards, both for his science and for his public service,including, for example:

in 1981 he shared the Wolf Prize for physics with Freeman Dyson and Gerhard ‘tHooft “for development and application of the quantum theory of fields”

in 1991 he was awarded the Public Welfare Medal of the National Academy ofSciences “for a half-century of unflagging effort to humanize the goals of science, acquaint the

world with the beneficial potential of nuclear technologies, and to safeguard it from the devastation

of nuclear war”

As a member of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences he was also very instrumental inpersuading the Pope to speak out on the dangers of nuclear weapons

Questions Again

To ask again the same questions:

Who was Viki’s "father," i.e., Brian’s "great-grandfather (≡ g2-father)"?

How far back can we go with Brian’s memealogical family tree , i.e., how many "gn-fathers" can we find?

We will find

n = 2 is special

n = 3,4,5

n = 6 is special

n = 7,8,9, · · · ,18

n = 19 is very special

n = 20, · · · , 24

We will need to recall that sometimes PhD students have more than one supervisor, and so in

tracing memealogical family trees there can be more "roots" or "branches" than in ordinary

genealogy. Sometimes our choices of which branch to follow are rather arbitrary.

BRIAN SEROT: HIS MEMEALOGY – p.18/48

Page 19: Ray Bishop, University of Manchester, Brian Serot - His Memealogy

Brian’s g2-father

Brian’s “g2-father1”: Max Born (PhD: 1906, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen /

“Untersuchungen Über Stabilität der Elastischen Linie in Ebene und Raum UnterVerschiedenen Grenzbedingungen” ≈ “Studies on the Stability of an Elastic Line in 2D and3D Under Different Boundary Conditions”) [1882-1970]

Viki Weisskopf was also co-supervised by g2-father2 = Eugene Wigner

But we will follow the Born line!

Best known for the Runge-Kutta method for solving ODE’s

Also did important work on the wavelengths of the spectral lines of elements

Best friend all his life was Max Planck

n = 4:Karl Theodor Wilhelm Weierstraß (PhD: 1854, Universität Königsberg) [1815-1897]

Perhaps best known for his construction of the theory of complex functions bymeans of power series

Also known for the Weierstrass function which is everywhere continuous on thereal line but nowhere differentiable – one of the first fractals

Often called the “father of modern analysis”

He got his PhD the same year as James Clark Maxwell got his MA at Cambridge

Brian’s g6-father: Carl Gauss

Often called “Princeps mathematicorum ” = “The Prince of Mathematicians” or “The Foremost

Among Mathematicians”

Gauss worked in a huge range of fields, including:

number theory

algebra

statistics

analysis

differential geometry

geodesy

geophysics

astronomy

optics

electrostatics

BRIAN SEROT: HIS MEMEALOGY – p.23/48

Page 24: Ray Bishop, University of Manchester, Brian Serot - His Memealogy

Brian’s g6-father: Carl Gauss

When still only 19 years old he proved the theorem that:An n-sided regular polygon can be constructed with compass and ruler if n is a Fermat prime (and,

consequently, if and only if n is the product of a power of 2 and distinct Fermat primes). The knownFermat primes = 3, 5, 17, 257, 65537 (viz., the first 5 Fermat numbers)

He liked this result so much he wanted a regular heptadecagon to be inscribed on histombstone! However, the stonemason demurred, saying it was too difficult to constructand since it would essentially look like a circle anyhow, his work would be wasted!

Brian’s gn-fathers; n = 18

n = 18:Georg Joachim von Lauchen Rheticus (MA: 1535, Martin-Luther-UniversitätHalle-Wittenberg) [1514-1574]

He was born Georg Joachim Iserin, but when he was 14 his father was beheadedfor the crime of sorcery, and one of the legal requirements of such an executionwas that his name could no longer be used! So he reverted to his mother’smaiden name, and became George Joachim de Porris. In Itaian, “de Porris” ≡ “of

the leeks” (in English) ≡ “von Lauchen” (in German), and as he considered himselfGerman he became Georg Joachim von Leuchen. He later added the “Rheticus”after the Roman province of Rhaetia in which he had been born.

In May 1539 Rheticus arrived at Frauenburg where he spent about two years withCopernicus.

In September 1539 Rheticus went to Danzig, visiting the mayor of Danzig, whogave Rheticus some financial assistance to help publish the “Narratio Prima” or, togive it its full title “First report to Johann Schöner on the Books of the Revolutions of the learned

gentleman and distinguished mathematician, the Reverend Doctor Nicolaus Copernicus of Torun,

Canon of Warmia, by a certain youth devoted to mathematics.”

In early 1541 Rheticus published the trigonometrical sections of Copernicus’ “De

Revolutionibus”, adding tables of his own giving tables of sines and cosines(although he did not call them by these names). This was the first published tableof cosines.

In 1542 he travelled to Nuremberg to supervise the printing of “De Revolutionibus”,which was first published in 1543.

BRIAN SEROT: HIS MEMEALOGY – p.30/48

Page 31: Ray Bishop, University of Manchester, Brian Serot - His Memealogy

Brian’s g19-father: Nicolaus Copernicus

One of the greatest polymaths of the Renaissance

The publication, just before his death in 1543, of “De Revolutionibus OrbiumCoelestium ” (= “ On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres ”) heralds theCopernican Revolution and

together with “De Humani Corporis Fabrica ” (= “On the Fabric of the HumanBody ”) published in the same year by Andreas Vesalius, gives birth to The ScientificRevolution

Interestingly, Copernicus studied medicine (and also astrology) at Padua, although hedid not get his medical doctor degree there, since he needed 3 years to study (andonly had leave for 2 years), and instead moved to Ferrara to get his doctorate in CanonLaw which he had not completed in Bologna, from where he moved to study after firstbeing a student at Krakow

Padua was also where Vesalius was Professor of Surgery and Anatomy from 1537, aChair he occupied from immediately after getting his doctorate there

He entered the University of Leipzig at age 11 before transferring to the Universityof Vienna at age 14 to study with Peurbach . He graduated at aged 16 with hisBA, but had to wait till he was 21 by regulation to get his MA

Recall that book printing in Europe was invented by Johann Gutenberg in 1454in Heidelberg. In 1471 Regiomontanus set up a printing press in his own house inNuremberg. His first publication was “New theory of the planets ” by his formerteacher Peuerbach (see below)

Brian’s Bequest

A final question:

And what comes next?

Like genes, memes are “selfish” and they live on:

in his graduate students who cannot but fail to have been shaped by him, and hencetoo by all the others in his academic family tree – his memealogy .

in his peers, like us here today and like others who read his papers:“Brian was a great theoretical physicist. He was my peer, just a few years younger. We never collaborated

but I wish we had! My students are still reading his papers and learning from him. He was one of us, and

we are one with him.”

Brian’s Bequest

in the many young“Dr. Serot was my quantum mechanics professor in my senior year as an Astrophysics major

(1996/1997). He was the first instructor that I had throughout my schooling that figured out I was not good

at taking traditional tests. He was so caring and worked with me to be able to show him my knowledge in

other ways. Because of him I continued to take quantum physics classes in graduate school, including

quantum chemistry! He will be sorely missed and I am glad I was fortunate to have crossed paths with

him while he was still with us.”

(and not so young!) people he mentored so encouragingly:“It was because of Brian’s personal encouragement I applied for the IU Physics PhD program in theory

despite my having been away from physics for decades. Brian’s giftedness as a theoretical physicist and

his profoundly selfless character were my greatest inspiration. And his help to me during the past 15

years, prior to, during, and after graduate studies, has completely altered the course of my life.”

Brian’s Bequest

and, of course, in the archival journals where reside the 79 papers he published:

one of which has already been cited more than 2,000 times: [B.D. Serot and J.D.Walecka, The Relativistic Nuclear Many-Body Problem, Adv. Nucl. Phys. 16(1986), 1-320]

some 15 of which have already been cited more than 100 times each

the average citation rate for which is over 88 per paper

and, for which, Brian has a very good h-index = 34

all of which are just waiting patiently, and so benevolently, to “parasitize the brains” of

the readers yet to come!
