Val Logsdon Fitch
Val Logsdon Fitch 1923– is an American nuclear physicist. 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. 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.
