Winner of the 1979 Nobel Prize, Prof. Abdus Salam has frequently been the target of attacks launched by jealous colleagues and religious extremists.
In this meeting you will hear the views of - and interact with - Prof. Michael Duff, emeritus professor at Imperial College London. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society, Fellow of the American Physical Society, and the 2017 winner of the Dirac Medal awarded by the Institute of Physics. This will be followed by a discussion with Prof. Qaisar Shafi (theoretical physics) at Delaware University, and Prof. Salam’s former PhD student. He is the winner of Alexander von Humboldt Prize (1997) and member of the American Physical Society.
The context for the event will be laid out by Dr. Pervez Hoodbhoy.

Doesn't matter whether Pakistanis owned Dr. Salam or not. But truth is that Dr. Salam was a world class physicist. People who in Pakistan are criticizing him doesn't even know how to wrote a scientific paper.

Prof Abdus Salam is the pride of South Asia..A proud Pakistani, Prof Salam deserves highest regard for his scientific genius and contributions- a true genius of the rank of Dirac. As an Indian, I feel proud that Prof Salam was once part of my country..He was also kind enough to visit India and meet his friends and teachers. It does not matter what some people including so called leading physicists cook up false stories about Prof Salam, his physics and mathematics speak for itself.. The nobel committee does a detailed evaluation and inputs from leading physicists and experts.. Respect from India to Prof Abdus Salam

Quite sensible arguments. I was also very confused when I heard the lecture of that physicist historian who said Salam did not deserve the prize. I am Pakistani, and would want to know the real truth of scientific work of Salam. The religious aspect of salam's life does not concerns me, he would answer for his own life Infront of God, and I Will answer for my life. It is unfortunate that our religious system of leaders can not separate the two worlds of science and religion. They are indeed the worst of scholars according to Hadeeth that in last ages there would be some religious scholars who would be evil people. But there are good people of religion who recognize the contribution of salam and his scientific genius and give him due credit as a human being. So we should learn from the Salam's work and his scientific theories and try to make our youngsters Excell in physics and mathematical reasoning.

Dr Abdus Salam, like every other scientist, is pride of humanity. Shame on those bigots who are denying his contributions just because of his religious beliefs. This is why we NEED a secular Pakistan.

I was in the same theoretical physics group at Imperial as Salam in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Salam was also a faculty colleague of my father after their PhDs. My father did his PhD in astrophysics at Imperial College in 1949 while Abdus Salam finished his PhD at Cambridge in 1952. I therefore knew all of Salam's colleagues, including Tom Kibble who really was responsible for local symmetry breaking in his 1967 paper and according to Weinberg. Not his own work of 1964 or that of Higgs and others in 19t4. The real breakthrough that led to Steven Weinrberg and Salam's 1967/68 paper was Tom Kibble's paper on local symmetry breaking in 1967. Weinberg credits Tom Kibble's paper as the conceptual breakthrough, and not the simpler 1964 papers of Kibble, Peter Higgs and others. At Imperial College therefore the Higgs boson is known as Higgs-Kibble. Weinberg is clear that it was Kibble's 1967 paper that was the real breakthrough. Now Kibble had his office a few yards from Salam's. And every theoretical physics professor at Imperial told me Salam gave the seminar which resulted in his 1968 paper. There was 0 doubt in anybody's mind. Norman Dombey, the professor who casts doubt was not at Imperial. He was at the University of Sussex. Despite doing a PhD under Feynman at Caltech, for some reason Norman Dombey didn't land a position at either Caltech or Imperial. Maybe be is driven by profession rivalry. Gell-Mann is on record on KZfaq as saying that even apart from electroweak Salam could have won the Nobel for at least 2 other contributions. He mentions Salam and Ward as having made outstanding contributions to theoretical particle physics. Salam was known for several contributions, while Ward is known to every researcher in Quantum Field Theory as Ward identities. And Weinberg and many others say Tom Kibble should have won a Nobel.too. Now I attended seminars and courses by Tom Kibble. And also David Olive and Chris Isham. And many other extremely highly regarded world class theoretical physicists. They had all been colleagues of Salam. And no one ever dubbed doubted him. And here's more. Even amongst that group, he was looked up to. It's like the best tennis players look up to Roger Federer. The last time I attended a seminar given by him was on the 5th floor theoretical physics common room at Imperial. It was on Chern Simons theory. There wasn't a single question because none were at his level. Even in 1990. Gell-Mann is clear in his KZfaq videos that Salam would have won the Nobel for a few other pieces of work. By the way, I have many stories of not just Salam, but my father, and their interactions in the 1950s. Salam also told Shahid Javed Burki that if my father hadn't left academia he would have won the Nobel in his area way before he himself he did.

Glashow advanced the idea that the electromagnetic and weak interactions may be unified in a gauge theory based on the group SU(2) × U(1). The problem of generating masses in a manner consistent with gauge invariance was solved later by Weinberg and Salam, using the idea of spontaneous symmetry breaking'.

Weinberg acknowledged Salam's independent efforts at the time they received the award, and denied it after so many years when Salam was no longer in this world to respond. This simply shows Weinberg's character and not Salam's plagiarism.

The problem with the followers of Islam is that these chosen children cannot differentiate between life on earth and that beyond. Islam viualizes earth as flat and the sun setting into mud, we are saved it didn't tell earth is a line.
