Apr 30, 2024 · Maskawa Toshihide, Japanese physicist who was a corecipient, with Yoichiro Nambu and Kobayashi Makoto, of the 2008 Nobel Prize for Physics. Maskawa and Kobayashi shared half the prize for their discovery of the origin of broken symmetry, which created at least six quarks moments after the big bang.

He shared the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physics with Makoto Kobayashi “for the discovery of the origin of the broken symmetry which predicts the existence of at least three families of quarks in nature” and with Yoichiro Nambu, who discovered “the mechanism ...
Makoto Kobayashi and Toshihide Maskawa investigated a 6-type model with 6 types of quarks. In this case, the weak-interaction quantum mechanics becomes a theory with 9 parameters, and makes it possible to prove the broken CP symmetry.
