Here is a note on a friend who died two weeks ago...
I will always carry the image of Joel wearing his Sherlock Holmes cap and short cape.
Joel spent many an hour explaining current cosmological theory to me. He explained general relativity at our dinner table and gave me a deep lesson in astrobiology during a trip to Aspen. I wish I had had more teachers like him.

In Memoriam: Joel Primack
Distinguished emeritus professor was a towering figure in theoretical physics and cosmology, a visionary educator, dedicated mentor, and passionate advocate for the role of science in society

« The more important fundamental laws and facts of physical science have all been discovered, and these are now so firmly established that the possibility of their ever being supplanted in consequence of new discoveries is exceedingly remote…. Our future discoveries must be looked for in the sixth place of decimals. » Albert Michelson 1894
En 1905, Einstein published the theory of special relativity
