The Short History of Science PHYSICS FOUNDATIONS SOCIETY THE FINNISH SOCIETY FOR NATURAL PHILOSOPHY PHYSICS FOUNDATIONS SOCIETY THE FINNISH SOCIETY FOR www.physicsfoundations.org NATURAL PHILOSOPHY www.lfs.fi Dr. Suntola’s “The Short History of Science” shows fascinating competence in its constructively critical in-depth exploration of the long path that the pioneers of metaphysics and empirical science have followed in building up our present understanding of physical reality. The book is made unique by the author’s perspective. He reflects the historical path to his Dynamic Universe theory that opens an unparalleled perspective to a deeper understanding of the harmony in nature – to click the pieces of the puzzle into their places. The book opens a unique possibility for the reader to make his own evaluation of the postulates behind our present understanding of reality. – Tarja Kallio-Tamminen, PhD, theoretical philosophy, MSc, high energy physics The book gives an exceptionally interesting perspective on the history of science and the development paths that have led to our scientific picture of physical reality. As a philosophical question, the reader may conclude how much the development has been directed by coincidences, and whether the picture of reality would have been different if another path had been chosen. – Heikki Sipilä, PhD, nuclear physics Would other routes have been chosen, if all modern experiments had been available to the early scientists? This is an excellent book for a guided scientific tour challenging the reader to an in-depth consideration of the choices made. – Ari Lehto, PhD, physics Tuomo Suntola, PhD in Electron Physics at Helsinki University of Technology (1971). Dr. Suntola has a far-reaching academic and industrial career comprising pioneering work from fundamental theoretical findings to successful applications like the Atomic Layer Deposition method, a key technology in the semiconductor industry. THE SHORT HISTORY OF SCIENCE “Nature is built on a few fundamental principles of conservation and harmony – or the long path to the union of metaphysics and empiricism which, at a philosophical level, were discovered by the thinkers of antiquity. This book is a search for these same principles behind present theories and the related picture of physical reality”.

Also, the book studies the possibility of a re-evaluation of the picture of reality from a holistic perspective with a closer connection between phil- osophical and empirical aspects. The perspective and background of the review evolve from the writer’s several dec- ades of work on the Dynamic Universe. The work emphasizes the philosophical and metaphysical aspects with simple postulates, a holistic view of observations, and clear logic and mathematical description with precise correspondence to observa- tions. The history of science shows that most part of the development has occurred in small steps. Typically, geniuses behind major steps or revolutions in science have been able to combine observations and ideas made in different areas of physics. Newtonian mechanics, which give the directions to the development of physical sci- ences in the modern era, combined the idea of the Copernican solar system, Kepler’s planetary orbits based on Tycho Brahe’s precise observations, Galileo Galilei’s ex- perimental results, the concepts of momentum by René Descartes and Christiaan Huygens and the conceptions of calculus by Pierre de Fermat and John Wallis.

  • GEORG OHM - Ω Physicist and Mathematician
    GEORG OHM - Ω Physicist and Mathematician The start Georg Simon Ohm was born on 16th of March 1789 in Erlangen in Germany and died on 6th of July 1854 in Munich, Germany. He was born into a Protestant family and was the son of Johann Wolfgang Ohm and Maria Elizabeth Beck. The family had seven children, but only three survived: Georg, his younger brother Martin and his sister Elizabeth Barbara. His mother died when Georg was only 10 years old. Education Georg and Martin were taught by their father who brought them to a high standard in mathematics, physics, chemistry and philosophy. Georg Simon attended Erlangen Gymnasium from age eleven to fifteen where he hardly received any scientific education. After the Gymnasium, he was sent to Switzerland as his father was concerned that his son was wasting his educational opportunity. In September 1806 Ohm accepted a position as a mathematics teacher in a school in Gottstadt. Ohm restarted his mathematical studies, left his teaching post in March 1809 and became a private tutor in Neuchâtel. For two years he carried out his duties as a tutor while he followed private studies of mathematics. Then in April 1811 he returned to the University of Erlangen. Teaching Ohm received his doctorate from the University of Erlangen on October 25, 1811. He immediately joined the faculty there as a lecturer in mathematics but left after three semesters because of unpromising prospects. He could not survive on his salary as a lecturer. He had a few more teaching jobs after that and unhappy with his job, Georg began writing an elementary textbook on geometry as a way to prove his abilities.

IT is a point of some interest to the historian of the social and intellectual development of Athens to determine, if possible, the exact dates between which the philosopher Anaxagoras made that city his home. As everyone knows, the tradition of the third and later centuries was not uniform. The dates from which the Alexandrian chronologists had to arrive at their results may be conveniently summed up under three headings, (a) date of Anaxagoras' arrival at Athens, (6) date of his prosecution and escape to Lampsacus, (c) length of his residence at Athens, (a) The received account (Diogenes Laertius ii. 7),1 was that Anaxagoras was twenty years old at the date of the invasion of Xerxes and lived to be seventy-two. This was apparently why Apollodorus (ib.) placed his birth in Olympiad 70 and his death in Ol.

  • Abstract Generalized Natural Inflation and The
    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: GENERALIZED NATURAL INFLATION AND THE QUEST FOR COSMIC SYMMETRY BREAKING PATTERS Simon Riquelme Doctor of Philosophy, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Zackaria Chacko Department of Physics We present a two-field model that generalizes Natural Inflation, in which the inflaton is the pseudo-Goldstone boson of an approximate symmetry that is spon- taneously broken, and the radial mode is dynamical. Within this model, which we designate as \Generalized Natural Inflation”, we analyze how the dynamics fundamentally depends on the mass of the radial mode and determine the size of the non-Gaussianities arising from such a scenario. We also motivate ongoing research within the coset construction formalism, that aims to clarify how the spontaneous symmetry breaking pattern of spacetime, gauge, and internal symmetries may allow us to get a deeper understanding, and an actual algebraic classification in the spirit of the so-called \zoology of con- densed matter", of different possible \cosmic states", some of which may be quite relevant for model-independent statements about different phases in the evolution of our universe. The outcome of these investigations will be reported elsewhere.

  • EDUCATION in LANCASHIRE and CHESHIRE, 1640-1660 Read 18
    EDUCATION IN LANCASHIRE AND CHESHIRE, 1640-1660 BY C. D. ROGERS, M.A., M.ED. Read 18 November 1971 HE extraordinary decades of the Civil War and Interregnum, Twhen many political, religious, and economic assumptions were questioned, have been seen until recently as probably the greatest period of educational innovation in English history. Most modern writers have accepted the traditional picture of puritan attitudes and ideas, disseminated in numerous published works, nurtured by a sympathetic government, developing into an embryonic state system of education, a picture given added colour with details of governmental and private grants to schools.1 In 1967, however, J. E. Stephens, in an article in the British Journal of Educational Studies, suggested that detailed investigations into the county of York for the period 1640 to 1660 produced a far less admirable view of the general health of educational institutions, and concluded that 'if the success of the state's policy towards education is measured in terms of extension and reform, it must be found wanting'.2 The purpose of this present paper is twofold: to examine the same source material used by Stephens, to see whether a similar picture emerges for Lancashire and Cheshire; and to consider additional evidence to modify or support his main conclusions. On one matter there is unanimity. The release of the puritan press in the 1640s made possible a flood of books and pamphlets not about education in vacuo, but about society in general, and the role of the teacher within it. The authors of the idealistic Nova Solyma and Oceana did not regard education as a separate entity, but as a fundamental part of their Utopian structures.

    Transversal: International Journal for the Historiography of Science , 2 (201 7) 03 -06 ISSN 2526 -2270 www.historiographyofscience.org © The Author s 201 7 — This is an open access article Dossier Pierre Duhem Pierre Duhem’s Philos ophy and History of Science Introduction Fábio Rodrigo Leite 1 Jean-François Stoffel 2 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.24117/2526-2270.2017.i2.02 _____________________________________________________________________________ We are pleased to present in this issue a tribute to the thought of Pierre Duhem, on the occasion of the centenary of his death that occurred in 2016. Among articles and book reviews, the dossier contains 14 contributions of scholars from different places across the world, from Europe (Belgium, Greece, Italy, Portugal and Sweden) to the Americas (Brazil, Canada, Mexico and the United States). And this is something that attests to the increasing scope of influence exerted by the French physicist, philosopher and 3 historian. It is quite true that since his passing, Duhem has been remembered in the writings of many of those who knew him directly. However, with very few exceptions (Manville et al. 1927), the comments devoted to him exhibited clear biographical and hagiographic characteristics of a generalist nature (see Jordan 1917; Picard 1921; Mentré 1922a; 1922b; Humbert 1932; Pierre-Duhem 1936; Ocagne et al. 1937). From the 1950s onwards, when the studies on his philosophical work resumed, the thought of the Professor from Bordeaux acquired an irrevocable importance, so that references to La théorie physique: Son objet et sa structure became a common place in the literature of the area. As we know, this recovery was a consequence of the prominence attributed, firstly, to the notorious Duhem-Quine thesis in the English- speaking world, and secondly to the sparse and biased comments made by Popper that generated an avalanche of revaluations of the Popperian “instrumentalist interpretation”.
