Abstract
I present some rather selective reminiscences of my long career in physics, from my doctoral work to the present. I do not spend time on topics such as the nuclear magnetic resonance behavior of 3He, as I have reviewed the history extensively elsewhere, but rather concentrate, first, on my long-running project to make condensed matter physics relevant to questions in the foundations of quantum mechanics, and second, on various rather “quirky” problems such as an attempt to amplify the effects of the parity violation due to the weak interaction to a macroscopic level, and an unconventional proposal for the mechanism of the first-order phase transition between the A and B phases of superfluid liquid 3He.
期刊介绍：
Since its inception in 2010, the Annual Review of Condensed Matter Physics has been chronicling significant advancements in the field and its related subjects. By highlighting recent developments and offering critical evaluations, the journal actively contributes to the ongoing discourse in condensed matter physics. The latest volume of the journal has transitioned from gated access to open access, facilitated by Annual Reviews' Subscribe to Open initiative. Under this program, all articles are now published under a CC BY license, ensuring broader accessibility and dissemination of knowledge.
