I discuss the general principles underlying quantum field theory, and attempt to identify its most profound consequences. This [asymptotic freedom] is a phenomenon whereby the building blocks which make up the nucleus of an atom 'quarks' behave as free particles when they are close together, but become more strongly attracted to each other as the distance between them increases. Item 78 demonstrates the non-thermal production mechanism for axions during the Big Bang. 1 No. Citizenship United States Education University of Chicago(B.S.)

The two scientistsand Politzer working independentlyobserved that quarks were so tightly bound together that they could not be separated as individual particles but that the closer quarks approached one another, the weaker the strong force became. Later we learned that they had been anticipated in a general way by Sakharov. He received the Lilienfeld Prize of the American Physical Society for these activities. 392. 6. A3, 2827 (1988).
