What changed

Electroweak unification gained a concrete broken-symmetry lepton model with testable structure.

Scientific scope

Weinberg's 1967 paper; Glashow's earlier model, Salam's work and later renormalizability proofs are excluded.

Evidence

The linked sources identify this contribution and its scope. WRS has not independently reconstructed the scientific claims. This is Weinberg’s 1967 sole-authored paper; Glashow’s earlier model, Salam’s separate contribution and later renormalizability work are not merged into it.
