Nathan Rosen (1909-1995) Professor Nathan Rosen died in 1995 at the age of 86.
He was a student of Einstein, and the founder of the faculties of physics at the
Technion in Haifa and at the University of Beer-Sheva. He made numerous
important contributions in relativity (i.e., Bi-metric theory) and in quantum
mechanics (i.e., EPR* paper; E stands for Einstein, R stands for Rosen).

On his 86th birthday Professor Rosen asked that
nothing be done in his memory.
May my present tiny breach of Rosen's wish be
forgiven.
