Max Born,Nobel Prize Physicist

with Albert Einstein carried them
through a major scientific dispute
in which Einstein questioned Prof.
Born's theory that mathematical
calculations do not apply to events
in the atom. Einstein once wrote
him, "The Good Lord does not
play dice."
Athough he had not worked on
the atomic bomb, Prof. Born was
deeply disturbed by his possible
influence on those who did. When
he returned to Germany in 1953,
he became increasingly concerned
by the ethical issues that grew
out of scientific advances, and he
spoke out strongly against Ger-
man acquisition of nuclear weap-
ons.
Born at Breslau, the son of ana-
tomist and embryologist. Gustav
Born, he studied law and ethical
philosophy before taking up
physics. He acquired a doctor's de-
gree in 1907 and two years later
became professor at Goettingen.

universities for several years, Prof.

GOETTINGEN, West Germany-
Nobel Prize-winning physicist Max
Born, a pioneer of modern nuclear
physics, died Jan. 5 at age 87.
Prof. Born, a close friend of Al-
bert Einstein, had lived in retire-
ment in the Westphalian town of
Bad Pyrmont since his return from
Britain in 1954, the year he was
awarded the Nobel Prize for his
statistical interpretation of quan-
tum mechanics.
A teacher of such famous phys-
icists as J. Robert Oppenheimer,
Enrico Fermi and Edward Teller,
Prof. Born was considered the last
survivor of German prewar scien-
tists.
After the Nazis deposed him
as dean of Goettingen Univer-
sity Physics Institute, he took
refuge in Britain, continuing to
teach for many years at the uni-
versities of Cambridge and Ed-
inburgh.
