My personal encounter with Weinberg’s proposal of 1990 was a really entertaining one: My collaborator David Entem and I had embarked to show that Weinberg’s idea, though smart and beautiful, was essentially useless in practice (like so many of those genius ideas of the 1980s where people claimed to have “derived the nuclear force from QCD”). However, in trying to do so, we showed the opposite; namely, we showed that Weinberg’s idea worked better than allowed by any reasonable means.

温伯格的1990年提案：非常个人的看法

我个人与温伯格1990年的提议相遇是一次非常有趣的经历：我和我的合作者戴维·恩特姆（David Entem）展示了温伯格的想法虽然聪明又漂亮，但实际上在实践中毫无用处（就像1980年代的许多天才想法一样，人们声称“源自QCD的核力量”）。但是，在尝试这样做时，我们表现出相反的结果。也就是说，我们证明了温伯格的想法比通过任何合理手段所允许的效果更好。
