Reminiscences about Steven Weinberg (This Time it's Personal)
Abstract
Steven Weinberg productive scientific life teaches us many things, one of the
most important of which is the power of his example. This essay contains
personal reminiscences and a speculation about gravitational wave propagation
based on one of his very last papers -- as seems fitting, given his penchant
for putting interesting physics into the essays he wrote for other luminaries
over the years. (See arXiv:2502.10979 [physics.hist-ph] for a less personal
summary of his main scientific accomplishments.)
