Elliott Lieb is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Mathematical physics; stability of matter
Lieb, an American Jewish mathematical physicist at Princeton, proved (with Walter Thirring) the stability of matter, showing rigorously why bulk matter does not collapse under its own quantum forces. He produced a vast body of inequalities and exact results — from the Lieb-Thirring inequalities to work on quantum systems — that are central to mathematical physics.
