Edward Gerjuoy: From Physics to Law and Back Again
Physics in Perspective - Tập 13 - Trang 433-455 - 2011
Theoretical physicist Edward Gerjuoy discusses his family background, elementary
and secondary education in Brooklyn, New York, undergraduate studies at City
College, graduate work at the University of California at Berkeley, research
during World War II, and subsequent career at the University of Southern
California, New York University, the General Atomics Laboratory, the Radio
Corporation of Am...
Fritz Lange, Klaus Fuchs, and the Remigration of Scientists to East Germany
Physics in Perspective - Tập 11 - Trang 405-425 - 2009
I describe the social and political framework in the German Democratic Republic
(GDR) in which the remigration of scientists and other scholars to East Germany
occurred after the Second World War, between 1946 and 1959. Since these included
only a small number of scientists, I illustrate the problems they encountered
and the opportunities they were provided during their reintegration into GDR
soci...

Physics in Perspective - Tập 1 Số 2 - Trang 219-223 - 1999
Pierre Duhem, the History and Philosophy of Physics, and the Teaching of Physics
Physics in Perspective - Tập 1 - Trang 54-64 - 2014
The distinguished physicist and historian and philosopher of science Pierre
Duhem (1861–1916) not only taught physics, but also worked out in his Aim and
Structure of Physical Theory a philosophical analysis of physics. Duhem's
analysis offers important suggestions about how physics progresses and also how
physics should be taught. This essay suggests what advice Duhem would give
persons involved ...
Budapest: A Random Walk in Science and Culture
Physics in Perspective - Tập 5 - Trang 310-348 - 2003
I give a tour of sites of historical significance in physics and related
sciences in Budapest, noting their connections to Hungarian scientists, and
placing them within the context of the cultural and institutional histories of
Hungary and Budapest. I begin the tour in the inner districts of Budapest and
then go to the outer districts.
“It’s better to forget physics”: The Idea of the Tactical Nuclear Weapon in the Early Cold War
Physics in Perspective - Tập 22 - Trang 26-51 - 2020
The American physicist John Wheeler once told his colleague Richard Feynman
that, in case of war, “it’s better to forget physics and tell the admirals and
generals how to do tactical and strategic this-and-that.” This article explores
the history of this-and-that distinctions between tactical and strategic nuclear
weapons in the early Cold War. The idea of tactical nuclear weapons was
intertwined ...
Eddington and Uncertainty
Physics in Perspective - Tập 5 - Trang 398-418 - 2003
Arthur Stanley Eddington (1882-1944) is acknowledged to be one of the greatest
astrophysicists of the twentieth century, yet his reputation suffered in the
1930s when he embarked on a quest to develop a unified theory of gravity and
quantum mechanics. His attempt ultimately proved to be fruitless and was
regarded by many physicists as misguided. I will show, however, that Eddington’s
work was not ...
