His considerable contributions to physics include the theory of quantum chromodynamics. He was awarded the 1969 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on the theory of elementary particles. [Listener: Geoffrey West; date recorded: 1997] TRANSCRIPT: Then we looked up parastatistics, and did it correctly this time, we didn't use the Umezawa paper or whatever it was that Yuval and I had used eight years before, that had a mistake in it; we… we used the correct calculation and we found that parastatistics with the prohibition of real paraparticles was exactly the same thing, precisely the same thing. If we had parastatistics and we said there was no such thing in that… that no particle could come out and be seen singly that had parastatistics—only the constituents—then it was exactly the same as saying that we had color and nothing colored could come out. And so that was our starting point.
