“Weisskopf demonstrates that QED diverges at all levels of perturbation theory.”  “Weisskopf was a major figure in the golden age of quantum mechanics, who made seminal contributions to the quantum theory of radiative transitions, the self-energy of the electron, the electrodynamic properties of the vacuum, and to the theory of nuclear reactions.”-- “Vicktor Weisskop 1908—2002”  by J. David Jackson and Kurt Gottfried, in Memoirs of the National Academy of Sciences.
