bader At any particular moment the action might rise or fall, but when the ball arrived at its destination, the path it had followed would always be the path for which the total action was least. It is almost impossible for a physicist to talk about the principle of least action without inadvertently imputing some kind of volition to the projectile. Feynman had first come on the principle of least action in Far Rockaway, after a bored hour of high-school physics, when his teacher, Abram Bader, took him aside. www.physics.utoledo.edu /~ljc/bader1.html   (663 words)

Geometry.Net - Nobel: Hofstadter Robert The talk is titled "Stone Cold Science: Bose-Einstein Condensation and the Weird World of Physics a Millionth of a Degree from Absolute Zero." A more technically oriented colloquium will take place at 4 p.m. He is best known for his work on determining the distribution of charge and magnetic moment in the nuclei of atoms and of the nucleons themselves, for which he was awarded a Nobel Prize in 1961. The lecture honors nobel Prize winner robert hofstadter, who servedon Stanford's physics faculty from 1950 until his death in 1990. www.geometry.net /detail/nobel/hofstadter_robert.html   (663 words)

SIL Press Room Featured Items In his talk at the Smithsonian, Dr. Stachel will discuss the significance of the annus mirabilis and recount the events in Einstein's personal life that led to a miraculous moment in scientific history. These papers have ensconced Dr. Einstein in history as one of the world's most renowned scientists and serve as a foundation for the study of modern physics. The United Nations has endorsed the year 2005 as the World Year of Physics, a time for international celebration of the pioneering contributions of Albert Einstein in 1905 and an opportunity to increase worldwide awareness of the major role physics will play in the coming millennium. www.sil.si.edu /Press   (4394 words)

Waking Up in Time - Book from Origin Press Peter Russell, the widely acclaimed author of the bestseller The Global Brain and other pioneering works, earned an honors degree in theoretical physics and psychology -- as well as a master's degree in computer science -- at the University of Cambridge, England, where he studied under Stephen Hawking. Peter Russell: "I cite that as one example of a number of prophecies, which talk about a time when humanity gets caught up in materialism and takes itself to the edge of disaster. Here he offers a gripping account of the human community hurtling ever closer toward an unprecedented moment of culmination -- the "Omega" of history -- when humanity will face its evolutionary moment of truth. www.originpress.com /bkwaking.htm   (1735 words)

Irankicks Football Talk - Einstein's fave student was an Iranian! During the congress of "60 years of physics in Iran" the services rendered by him were deeply appreciated and he was entitled "the father of physics in Iran". Al Kharazmi was his Muslim PERSIAN name so he is Iranian.....I found out about him cuz at the moment I am studying Algorithms and decided to do some research on it and his name came of in 3 encyclopedias as Persin or Iranian NOT Arab so don't worry! Kharazmi published most of his works in Arabic like other scientists of those days and that's why westerners call him Al kharazmy in their encyclopedias. www.irankicks.com /ikboard/printthread.php?t=24310&pp=20   (1735 words)

Jung Talk - Necessity Of Ghosts And The Supernatural Zooey - That was a very interesting moment - I find William Butler Yeats' writing on and participation in it the most lucidating. Guess i've been thinking too much in terms of SuperString Theory, quantum physics, and literal materializations of persons from the past.

Edge: A THEORY OF ROUGHNESS: A Talk with Benoit Mandelbrot To bring this topic to life it was necessary for the Antaeus of Mathematics to be compelled to touch his Mother Earth, if only for one fleeting moment. They began with the critical percolation cluster, which is a famous mathematical structure of great interest in statistical physics. Mandelbrot is best known as the founder of fractal geometry which impacts mathematics, diverse sciences, and arts, and is best appreciated as being the first broad attempt to investigate quantitatively the ubiquitous notion of roughness. www.edge.org /3rd_culture/mandelbrot04/mandelbrot04_index.html   (1735 words)

Physics Today November 2003- Articles When it appeared on the screen, Gamow, after a moment of shock, was very pleased.

abstract This transform is of interest in view of applications to the fourth moment of the zeta-function, and it is closely related, on one hand, to the spectral theory of automorphic functions, and one the other hand, to the additive divisor problem. Here we mainly talk about some results about the parity of the partition function and a related conjecture of Subbarao. Subbarao and A. Verma: Remarks on a product expansion: an unexplored partition function, Proceedings of the Conference on Symbolic Computation, Number Theory, Special Functions, Physics and Combinatorics, held at Gainesville, Florida, U.

Finalé: Walking the plank My dad loves to work, and he has never been there in the way I always wanted him to be, he took me camping once, bowled once during cricket, but what I wished for, was to be able to have a real conversation with him, talk to him about everything instead of business... I absorbed alot of traits from him, I love to work myself, big fan of math,biology, physics, accounting, there is also this thing that he keeps a meticolous list of things to do, where things are, future budgets, current budgets, it goes on... I love alot of things, trying to live the american dream at he moment, in my final year of college, hoping to graduate and start working without too many hitches crian.blogspot.com /2004/07/walking-plank.html   (1165 words)

Robert B. Leighton, September 10, 1919—March 9, 1997 By Jesse L. Greenstein Biographical Memoirs Leighton said that Feynman was "possibly the one person in the world who knew more about how everything in the universe worked than anyone else on Earth at that moment." Leighton and Feynman were close personal friends, enjoying talk about physics; Leighton's son Ralph entertained them musically and later became Feynman's musical and book-writing companion. Leighton slowly and smoothly rotated a tub of liquid epoxy mixture, at a speed such that its upper surface formed the paraboloid of revolution of the required focal length. Leighton's discovery of both large and small periodic patterns on the Sun marked the birth of the two subjects, helioseismology and astroseismology. www.nap.edu /readingroom/books/biomems/rleighton.html   (5931 words)

Book Talk - 30/04/2005: Life As Literature... He keeps talking about the eternal recurrence and never explains it very well, and most people usually take it as a view about what the physics of the world are about. Alexander Nehamas: It’s a wonderfully moving passage and a wonderfully moving moment if you read him. Alexander Nehamas: There’s certainly a kind of a yesness in Finnegan’s Wake, as there is a yesness even at the end of Ulysses after all, that’s how it ends, with the word ‘yes’. www.abc.net.au /rn/arts/booktalk/stories/s1354818.htm   (2308 words)

Reason: Leaping the Abyss: Stephen Hawking on black holes, unified field theory, and Marilyn Monroe. Stephen took off from this to discuss some ideas currently booting around the physics community about the origin of the universe, the moment just after the Big Bang. Stephen’s great politeness paradoxically made me ill at ease; I was acutely aware of the many demands on his time, and, after all, I had just stopped by to talk shop. Stephen likes the tug of the philosophical, and he seemed amused by the notion that universes are simply one of those things that happen from time to time. www.reason.com /0204/fe.gb.leaping.shtml   (3623 words)

EducationGuardian.co.uk Research The strange story of Peter Lynds Lynds goes on to say there is no moment at which time can be considered to have stopped - even for an instant - and so an object's position can never be precisely determined at any time. Lynds' theory concerns the point at which the three tectonic plates of physics, maths and philosophy collide. Big talk, and not something the science world tends to accept easily. education.guardian.co.uk /higher/research/story/0,9865,1017994,00.html   (1262 words)
