Cronin and Fitch shared a Nobel Prize in 1980 for their achievements, which led to the establishment of the Standard Model, the triumph of particle physics of the 1970s.
Today, the Standard Model is a well-established theory applicable to many branches of physics.
Today, thirty-seven years later, followers of Cronin and Fitch have discovered secondary evidence of asymmetric phenomena in nature by observing another particle -- the B meson.
"This new discovery ushers in a new era of physics because it might revise or verify the Standard Model," said Hwang Woei-yann (
