Oscar W. Greenberg

Oscar Wallace Greenberg (born February 18, 1932) is an American physicist and professor at University of Maryland College of Computer, Mathematical, and Natural Sciences. He posited the existence of a hidden, 3-valued charge, called color charge, of subatomic particles, "quarks," in 1964, the same year that quarks were posited as constituents of hadrons by Murray Gell-Mann and, independently, by George Zweig.

Educational background

He received his bachelor's degree from Rutgers University in 1952. He received his master's degree in 1954 and his doctorate degree in 1957, both from Princeton University.

gollark: <@332271551481118732> wanted to make an AQA pseudocode → AQA assembly compiler.
gollark: The !!FUN!! AQA assembly language?
gollark: Not ALL webdevs are evil. I optimize my things for low resource use and make them run in-browser properly instead of Electron.
gollark: **The most gollarious response:**- pretending things- pretending there's some horrible name for it- implying it's badness- If they're profitable, you'll get some shit from people on the internet- blahblatantly passing it away- no sense.
gollark: I'm not sure what happens with that.
