About Samuel Goudsmit
Samuel Abraham Goudsmit (July 11, 1902 – December 4, 1978) was a Dutch-American physicist famous for jointly proposing the concept of electron spin with George Eugene Uhlenbeck in 1925. Goudsmit, along with Uhlenbeck, was nominated numerous times for the Nobel Prize in Physics for their discovery of electron spin but never won, despite strong support from nominators. I. I. Rabi remarked that the omission of Goudsmit and Uhlenbeck from the Nobel Prize list "will always be a mystery to me."
