Gollin Zodiac Link?

My thesis is my own, written entirely by me. A long article, published in Physical Review D, vol. 24 (1981), contains most of it.

here is the article...
I still see a barrage of authors behind mr. professor's name.
As a 'first name' he certainly was the originator of the study and had an important role, but by all means not the sole author.
Of course 'maybe that is the way we do it in wonderland', but certainly all those extra authors aren't the guy taking out the garbage or the guy typing the paper or the guy wiring the cables at the lab, right?

Again: i never saw a nobel prize awarded to a row of researchers like that; 2-3 people max...but maybe those physicists just can't do it right.
