SUMMARY

Stanley Deser's contributions significantly advanced the field of relativity, particularly through the development of the ADM formalism, which provides a framework for analyzing general relativity in a Hamiltonian context. His work has been instrumental in enhancing the understanding of quantum gravity and its implications. Deser's influence is evident in both theoretical advancements and educational outreach, as highlighted in his interviews and lectures, including the 2010 KITP Colloquium on Quantum Gravity. His legacy continues to inspire new generations of physicists.

One of the greats! Relativity became a much better field thanks to his contributions, and when I first learned about ADM I was instantly hooked.
