Abstract

For his work on nuclear physics Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker was twice nominated for the Nobel Prize in physics. Bethe had worked on the energy production in stars at about the same time as Weizsäcker but independently from him. The Nobel Committee valued the structural depth of BETHE'S work more than Weizsäcker's temporal priority because Bethe had described the nuclear reactions quantitatively and had shown a much deeper understanding of the nuclear processes in the centre of stars whereas Weizsäcker had worked more qualitatively. There are no reasons to believe that political resentments towards Weizsäcker played any significant role in awarding of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1967 only to Bethe. The lives and works of Weizsäcker and Bethe show some remarkable parallels, ranging from calculating the binding energy in nuclei to the energy production in sun-like and massive stars to peace- and disarmament initiatives.

[Weizsäcker,贝特和诺贝尔奖]。
卡尔·弗里德里希·冯Weizsäcker因其在核物理方面的工作两次获得诺贝尔物理学奖提名。贝特与Weizsäcker几乎同时研究恒星的能量产生,但独立于他。诺贝尔奖委员会更看重BETHE工作的结构深度,而不是Weizsäcker的时间优先性,因为BETHE定量地描述了核反应,对恒星中心的核过程有了更深入的理解,而Weizsäcker的工作则更定性。没有理由相信,对Weizsäcker的政治怨恨在1967年诺贝尔物理学奖只授予贝特的原因中起了什么重要作用。Weizsäcker和Bethe的生活和工作显示出一些惊人的相似之处,从计算原子核的结合能到类太阳和大质量恒星的能量产生,再到和平与裁军倡议。
