[edit] Date of death

It is July 28th. For 2 years this article was wrong. Lincher 18:39, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Time to remove the stub tags ?

The article is already very informative. Surely the time has come to remove both the stub tags? DFH 20:31, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

It is also wrong. Pais himself says that he was not a colleague of Einstein at Princeton. He exchanged views with Einstein while walking between the Institute and Einstein's home on Mercer Street. See 'Subtle is the Lord' A. Pais Chap. 1. Ivan Sayer

While I agree that the "colleague of Einstein at Princeton" is misleading, they were technically "colleagues" in that they were physicsists in the same department at the same institution at the same time. It would probably be more meaningful to mention that, while Einstein's role there was fading, Pais was working with a new generation of famous scientists, and under the directorship of Oppenheimer.

As for stub status, there are still some sections of this article that need development, especially the section regarding Pais's research work. Maybe those sections should be flagged as stubs? Ronald W Wise 00:30, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
