A 1962 car accident left him unconscious for six weeks; he was declared clinically dead several times but somehow revived, although he was never again able to perform creative work. He had been imprisoned during the Stalin era but was freed by a personal intervention by his friend Pyotr  Kapitsa, who had made the discovery that liquid helium was superfluid. For ten points name this man who won the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physics for his explanation of the theory behind Kapitsa's discovery, the author of the nine- volume Course of Theoretical Physics with former student E.M.  Lifshitz.
