Kenneth Geddes Wilson (Juin 8, 1936 – Juin 15, 2013) wis an American theoretical physicist an a pioneer in leveragin computers for studyin pairticle physics. He wis awairdit the 1982 Nobel Prize in Physics for his wirk on phase transeetions—illuminatin the suttle essence o phenomena lik meltin ice an emergin magnetism. It wis embouked in his fundamental wirk on the renormalisation group.
