Val Logsdon Fitch (born March 10, 1923, Merriman, Nebraska, USA) is an American nuclear physicist. Events 241 BC - First Punic War: Battle of the Aegates Islands - The Romans sink the Carthaginian fleet bringing Year 1923 ( MCMXXIII) was a Common year starting on Monday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. Merriman is a village in Cherry County, Nebraska, United States. Nebraska ( is a state located on the Great Plains of the Midwestern United States and The United States of America —commonly referred to as the The United States of America —commonly referred to as the Nuclear physics is the field of Physics that studies the building blocks and interactions of Atomic nuclei. A native of Merriman, Nebraska, he graduated from McGill University with a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering in 1948 and completed his Ph. Nebraska ( is a state located on the Great Plains of the Midwestern United States and Electrical engineering, sometimes referred to as electrical and electronic engineering, is a field of Engineering that deals with the study and application of D. in physics in 1954 from Columbia University. Physics (Greek Physis - φύσις in everyday terms is the Science of Matter and its motion. Columbia University is a private University in the United States and a member of the Ivy League. In World War II, he worked on the Manhattan Project in Los Alamos. He is a member of the faculty at Princeton University. Princeton University is a private Coeducational research university located in Princeton, New Jersey.
Fitch and co-researcher James Watson Cronin were awarded the 1980 Nobel Prize in Physics for a 1964 experiment that proved that certain subatomic reactions do not adhere to fundamental symmetry principles. James Watson Cronin (born September 29, 1931) is an American nuclear physicist. Year 1980 ( MCMLXXX) was a Leap year starting on Tuesday (link displays the 1980 Gregorian calendar) The Nobel Prize in Physics (Nobelpriset i fysik is awarded once a year by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Year 1964 ( MCMLXIV) was a Leap year starting on Wednesday (link will display full calendar of the 1964 Gregorian calendar. Specifically, they proved, by examining the decay of K-mesons, that a reaction run in reverse does not merely retrace the path of the original reaction, which showed that the reactions of subatomic particles are not indifferent to time. In Particle physics, a kaon (/ˈkeɪɒn/ also called K-meson and denoted) is any one of a group of four Mesons distinguished by the fact that they Thus the phenomenon of CP violation was discovered. In Particle physics, CP violation is a violation of the postulated CP symmetry of the laws of physics
