Stefan (Editor) Victor Frederick Weissskopf, (1908—2002), a Jewish born American physicist, is considered one of the true luminaries of the 20th century physics. Lev Landau, (1908—1968), A Nobel prize winning Soviet physicist, made a number of fundamental contributions in various fields of physics, such as superfluidity theory, superconductivity, (Ginzburg-Landau theory), the theory of Fermi liquid, the quantum theory of diamagnetism, and plasma physics,(Landau damping). Richard Phillips Feynman, (1918-1988), an American physicist, developed the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics and made fundamental contributions to quantum electrodynamics, the physics of the superfluidity, and particle physics. Viki in La Jolla, California, (1992) V. Alexander Stefan talks with Viki Weisskopf: June 17, 1992, La Jolla, California; Victor (VIKI) Frederick Weisskopf of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, visits, (June16-18, 1992), the Institute for Advanced Physics Studies (IAPS). Victor Weisskopf had been the Honorary Science Advisor of the IAPS from 1989 thenceforth. In La Valencia Hotel, where Viki stayed, they would ask about him: Who is that classy man?" Viki's Physics and Beyond Among the many breakthroughs that Viki's research has yielded, there have been the theory of the widths of energy levels of the electron, the "Clouded Crystal Ball" model of nuclear structure, and the "MIT Bag" model of hadronic matter. Weisskopf is the recipient of a great number of honors and awards worldwide; He was President of the American Physical Society, (1960); President of American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and Director General, (1961-1965), of the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN). In 1976, Viki was elected to the Pontifical Academy of Science, an advisory body to the Pope. He focused on the efforts for nuclear disarmament through the Pontifical Academy. V.
