John Kibble – An Interview With Latka

John Kibble was an esteemed educator who guided Native American students from beginning to completion of vocational and university degrees. Born on January 2, 1892, he passed away December 13th 1969 surrounded by his loving family: wife Holly (Corbiere) Kibble; daughter Cassandra Kibble and son John Kibble.

Early Life and Education

John Kibble was born in Madras, India and attended Doveton Corrie School and Melville College in Edinburgh, Scotland. Upon completion of his studies he earned a BA, MA and PhD degrees.

He married Anne Allan in 1957 and they had three children. As a physicist, his research focused on the mechanisms of symmetry breaking, phase transitions and topological defects such as monopoles, cosmic strings or domain walls that can form.

He was an active participant in organizations that encourage scientists to practice social responsibility. Additionally, he wrote a textbook on classical mechanics for beginners.

Professional Career

Kibble’s talent in the legal profession is well known, but he also made a mark on sports. In 1912, he hit two triples to help lead Evansville River Rats to their Central League pennant victory and played an integral part in their triumph.

He then embarked on a successful career in business, working for SugarCreek Packing Co. During his time there, he oversaw numerous expansions and acquisitions, helped bring the first modern hog plant to Lawrence, founded and chairs its Board of Directors – and is currently part owner and President of the company. His passion for innovation remains an inspiration to generations of employees and customers alike.

Achievements and Honors

Kibble’s contributions to theoretical physics span many areas of particle and astroparticle physics. His work on non-abelian gauge theories, as well as extending Yang-Mills’ electromagnetism theory, remain among his most significant and lasting accomplishments.

Kibble also explored the mechanisms of symmetry breaking, phase transitions and topological defects (monopoles, cosmic strings or domain walls) that can be formed. His contributions to quantum field theory laid the foundations for some of modern physics’ most groundbreaking discoveries.

Kibble was renowned for his scientific accomplishments, but he also played an influential role in fostering scientists’ social responsibility. As a member of several organisations and sponsor of many charities working towards this cause, he was recognized with both a CBE in 1998’s Birthday Honours and knighthood in 2014.

Personal Life

Kibble was a Renaissance man, adept at many disciplines. He was an inventor, astronomer and talented photographer.

He was an inspiring visionary who left his mark on Glasgow with his glass greenhouse. Inspired by Cove on Loch Long, he designed an iron-framed structure featuring a glass roof and windows for maximum visual impact.

Kibble boasts an impressively sturdy structure. But its standout feature is its’safe centre’, with capacity for 18 children plus an additional 19th room in case of emergencies.

This home boasts an impressive history and a well-deserved reputation for consistently delivering excellent outcomes. Additionally, its acclaimed Kibble Works program helps residents develop educational or vocational skills.

Net Worth

John Kibble has an estimated net worth of $110 million dollars. As the CEO of Kibble & Prentice Holding Company and American stockbroker, his investment portfolio includes 1,611 units of MaxLinear Inc stock as well as shares in several other companies such as XL Communications LLC and IMS Technologies. In 2018, John earned over $1.9 million in dividends and proceeds from asset sales. For more information on increasing your personal net worth, check out his interview with Latka!
