Why Is George B. Field Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, George B. Field is an American astrophysicist. Early life, family and education Field was born in Providence, Rhode Island. His father Winthrop Brooks Field and mother Pauline Woodworth Field were Harvard and Radcliffe graduates, respectively. He became interested in astronomy at an early age, but at the urging of his father he studied chemical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Disliking engineering, he later switched to astrophysics. After MIT, he attended the graduate school at Princeton University. When working at Princeton he had his first child, Christopher Field in 1957. Four years following he went on to have a daughter, Natasha Field, both with former wife Sylvia Field. He remarried in 1981, to his present wife Susan.
