Directions (1-10): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions
given below it. Certain words are given in bold to help you locate them while

r’s
answering some of the questions.
Steven Weinberg, a theoretical physicist who discovered that two of the
universe’s forces are really the same, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize,
and who helped lay the foundation for the development of the Standard Model, a
theory that classifies all known elementary particles in the universe, making it
ha
one of the most important breakthroughs in physics in the 20th century, died on
Friday in a hospital in Austin, Texas. He was 88. His daughter, Dr. Elizabeth
Weinberg, confirmed the death but did not specify a cause. Dr. Weinberg’s stature

E
in physics would be hard to overstate. In 2011, Dr. Brian Greene, a theoretical
physicist at Columbia University, invited Dr. Weinberg to be the inaugural speaker
d
at a new lecture series, titled “On the Shoulders of Giants,” produced by the
World Science Festival at New York University. (A) While introducing his guest,
Dr. Greene related how, in the early 1980s, he was working at I.B.M. when he
ee

was invited to give a lecture to the University of Texas at Austin, where Dr.
Weinberg was a professor. When he told his boss, John Cocke, a pioneer of
computer science, that Dr. Weinberg would be at the talk, Dr. Cocke warned him,
“You should know, there are Nobel laureates and then there are Nobel laureates.”
C
Dr. Weinberg was in the second category. Though he had the respect, almost
Sr

awe, of his colleagues for his scientific abilities and insights, he also possessed a
rare ______(B)________ among scientists to communicate and explain abstruse
scientific ideas to the public. He was a sought-after speaker, and he wrote several
popular books about science, notably “The First Three Minutes: A Modern View of
the Origin of the Universe” (1977). The work for which Dr. Weinberg was awarded
the Nobel had a transformative impact on physics, in particular on the development
of quantum mechanics, which tries to understand and explain what happens in
the subatomic world. There are four known forces in the universe: gravity;
C
electromagnetism; the strong force, which binds the nuclei of atoms together;
and the weak force, which causes radioactive decay. The first two forces have
been known for centuries, but the other two were discovered only in the first two
decades of the 20th century. Over the next decades, physicists struggled to find
a theory that would account for all the forces, or what Einstein called a theory of
everything. Though there were significant discoveries, particularly of new particles
with exotic names like quarks (the components of protons and neutrons in the
nucleus) and leptons (which include electrons but also more esoteric particles
called muons and taus), a elusive (C) theory or model remained unified.(D) In
1967, Dr. Weinberg began using something called gauge(E) theory to study the
interactions in weak forces, which had not been successfully explained up to that
point. Gauge theory had been developed in the 19th century by James Clerk
Maxwell, a British physicist, in his seminal work to explain electromagnetism. In
the 1950s, it was used by Robert Mills and Chen Ning Yang, a Chinese American

1
Sreedhar’s CCE I B PS SO Pr el i m s - M T–12

physicist, who later won the Nobel Prize, to understand strong-force interactions.
But Dr. Weinberg’s application of gauge theory to the weak force soon ran into a
problem. Electromagnetism is a force that acts at large distances, but the weak
force acts only at very short distances — smaller than the nucleus of an atom. In
electromagnetism, when two particles — say, electrons — collide, they exchange
a massless neutral particle called a photon, which is also known as a gauge
boson. If two particles collide because of the weak force, gauge theory requires —
because of the short distances of the interaction — that the gauge bosons that
are exchanged be massive and possibly electrically charged. Fortunately, several
years earlier, physicists had come up with a way to generate mass for gauge
bosons called the Higgs Mechanism. It was named for Peter Higgs, a British

r’s
physicist, and it predicted the existence of a previously unknown particle that is
responsible for giving other particles their mass. The particle was given the name
the Higgs boson, and its discovery, in 2012, brought Dr. Higgs and his colleague
François Englert the 2013 Nobel Prize. Using this new idea, Dr. Weinberg was
able to create a model in which weak interactions produced massive, at least by
ha
atomic standards, gauge boson particles. He called them W and Z bosons. His
theory also predicted that in some collisions — for example, between two
electrically neutral particles like a neutron and a neutrino — a neutral current,
as opposed to a charged one, would be created, indicating that there had been an

E
exchange of a Z boson. Dr. Weinberg theorized that there was a link between the
photon and the W and Z bosons, suggesting that they were created by the same
d
force. The conclusion was that, at very high energy levels, the electromagnetic
and weak forces were one and the same. It was a step on the path to the unified
theory that physicists had been searching for. Dr. Weinberg published his findings
ee

in 1967 in a groundbreaking paper, “A Model of Leptons,” in the journal Physical

Review Letters. The article is one of the most cited research papers in history. In
the mid-1960s, after the discovery of cosmic background radiation, the heat
signature left over from the Big Bang at the beginning of the universe, Dr. Weinberg
C
began studying cosmology, leading to his book “Gravitation and Cosmology” in
1972. He wrote many other books, including one on the history of science, “To
Sr

Explain the World: The Discovery of Modern Science” (2015), and three volumes
totaling 1,500 pages, on quantum field theory, which merges classical physics,
special relativity and quantum mechanics. The series is widely regarded as the
