Michael Green is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Physicist; anomaly cancellation founding the superstring revolution
Green, a British physicist of Jewish background, with John Schwarz discovered in 1984 the anomaly cancellation now called the Green-Schwarz mechanism, which made string theory mathematically consistent and ignited the first superstring revolution. He later held the Lucasian Professorship at Cambridge, the chair once occupied by Newton.
