In this two day activity, dedicated to celebrate Prof. Abdus Salam’s lasting contributions to theoretical physics, four big ideas of contemporary physics to which Salam contributed heavily will be explained starting from beginning. The school should be of interest to graduate students and other physicists (scientists) interested in learning about Salam’s theories and their phenomenal impact on physics.
