Leonard Susskind

Leonard Susskind is a theoretical physics professor at Stanford University. His contributions to physics - or those that he shares with others - include
  • the discovery that string theory is based on one-dimensional objects
  • the theory of quark confinement
  • the development of Hamiltonian lattice gauge theory
  • the theory of scaling violations in deep inelastic electroproduction
  • the theory of symmetry breaking sometimes known as "Technicolor theory"
  • the first theories of cosmological baryogenesis apart from Sakharov's work which was unknown in the West
  • the string theory of black hole entropy
  • the principle of "black hole complementarity"
  • the holographic principle, the matrix description of M-theory
  • the introduction of holographic entropy bounds in cosmology
  • and the idea of an anthropic string theory "landscape".
Prof. Susskind is one of the most entertaining mavericks in the field of string theory.
