Steven Weinberg (1933–2021) was an American physicist and Nobel laureate in physics. He taught physics and astronomy at the University of Texas from 1982 until his death in 2021. He authored popular science books (from an atheist perspective) aimed at the general public but was criticised for his commentary on history (of science) as whig history[1] which he later responded to on several occasions.[2][3]
