Dear Sra. Carlucci:

Thank you for your letter of inquiry about the paper published in Nuovo Cimento by Altarelli et al. just after the Ting-Richter discovery.
As you are perhaps aware, the authors’ speculation — that the then newly discovered boson might be the neutral weak intermediary — is
false. This is nothing for them to be ashamed of,
It is the business of theorists to speculate, and we often find that our speculations are wrong. I have published more than a few papers that have turned out to have been wrong. So have most of my colleagues. That’s the name of the game!

The Altarelli et al. paper is just one of many published but false interpretations of the J/Psi particle. For your information, I append below the titles of eight papers from the first 1975 issue of Physical Review Letters. All these works seek to explain the new particle.
Two are correct, one is ambiguous, and five are dead wrong. The false papers include two by Nobel Laureates (Schwinger
and Yang) and one by a winner of the Wolf Prize and the National Medal of Science (M. Goldhaber). Altarelli et. al are in excellent company.

Scientists publish speculative results not because they are true, but because they may be true, If they refrained from publishing their speculations for fear that they may not always be true, there would be little progress in science. Even our greatest heroes, Galileo, Newton and Einstein, have published speculations that turned out to be quite false. I can supply citations, should you wish to to question their scientific competence.

Sincerely
Sheldon Lee Glashow
