Chemist, Physicist(Unification, Field Theory)Myron Wyn Evans, chemist and physicist, was born in Craig-Cefn-Parc, Wales on 26th May 1950, parents the late Edward Ivor and Mary Evans. Myron\'s father was a coal miner, bronze, silver and gold medals of the Mines\' Rescue Service. His mother was the daughter of a coal miner, Thomas Elim Havard Jones, Head Deacon of Elim Welsh Baptist Chapel, Craig-Cefn-Parc, descending from an eleventh century Norman family, the Havard or Harvard family.
Dr. Evans is a Meldola and Harrison Medallist of the Royal Society of Chemistry of London; Junior Research Fellow (1975) of Wolfson College, Oxford; and graduate of the University of Wales (D. Sc., 1977). He married Laura Jean Joseph, 1988, and Larisa Hachikjana, 2004. He came to US in 1986, was naturalized a US citizen 2000 at Cornell University.
Dr. Evans first proposed the existence of the B(3) field in Physica B, in 1992, at Cornell University, and has developed it since then in volumes such as Modern Nonlinear Optics (Wiley, 1997, paperback); The Enigmatic Photon (Kluwer 1994 to present, first four volumes); The Photon\'s Magnetic Field, and The Photomagneton in Quantum Field Theory, both for World Scientific; and in several papers and letters.
