Answer
physics. Schwinger was a physics professor at several universities. From the Julian Schwinger article on Wikipedia.
In which decade?
He shared the ____ Nobel Prize in Physics with Richard Feynman and Shin'ichirō Tomonaga "for their fundamental work in quantum electrodynamics, with deep-ploughing consequences for the physics of elementary particles".
Answer
1960s. He shared the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics with Richard Feynman and Shin'ichirō Tomonaga "for their fundamental work in quantum electrodynamics, with deep-ploughing consequences for the physics of elementary particles". From the Julian Schwinger article on Wikipedia.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- He shared the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics with Richard Feynman and Shin'ichirō Tomonaga "for their fundamental work in quantum electrodynamics, with deep-ploughing consequences for the physics of elementary particles".
- He developed a relativistically invariant perturbation theory, and renormalized QED to one loop order.
- Schwinger was a physics professor at several universities.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Julian Schwinger article was read about 56,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 68 and blocks with 49: each hit it takes is cut by 20 %.
How to get Julian Schwinger
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
