He named them Aces. The world called them quarks.

At 26, George Zweig proposed the fundamental constituent of matter, only to see his groundbreaking discovery dismissed and his credit contested. Disillusioned, he didn't quit science-he simply changed it.

Zweig's life is one of the most astonishing intellectual journeys of the modern era. After laying the bedrock for the Standard Model of particle physics, he walked away to pursue the deepest questions in auditory science, where his modeling of the human ear led him to independently invent the Wavelet Transform, a mathematical tool now essential for all digital communication and signal processing.

But even two revolutions weren't enough. Zweig's final, spectacular pivot took his analytical genius to the ultra-secretive world of quantitative finance, where he proved the pattern recognition skills honed in the subatomic realm and the cochlea were equally capable of decoding the chaos of global markets.
