Prof. Dr. Val L. Fitch > CV Val Logsdon Fitch received the 1980 physics prize with James Cronin for proving in a 1964 experiment that some subatomic reactions do not adhere to basic symmetry principles, suggesting that reversing the direction of time would not precisely reverse the course of certain reactions of subatomic particles.
