As for Gell-Mann, he seems to see nothing to discuss in this entire God business, and in the index to The Quark and the Jaguar God goes unmentioned.
In 1957, Robert Marshak and George Sudarshan and, somewhat later, Richard Feynman and Murray Gell-Mann proposed a V−A ( vector minus axial vector or left-handed) Lagrangian for weak interactions.
In 1984 Gell-Mann co-founded the Santa Fe Institute —a non-profit theoretical research institute in Santa Fe, New Mexico —to study complex systems and disseminate the notion of a separate interdisciplinary study of complexity theory.
His children are Elizabeth Sarah Gell-Mann (b. 1956) and Nicholas Webster Gell-Mann (b. 1963); and he has a stepson, Nicholas Southwick Levis (b. 1978).
