  • Henry Andrews Bumstead 1870-1920
    NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS VOLUME XIII SECOND MEMOIR BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR OF HENRY ANDREWS BUMSTEAD 1870-1920 BY LEIGH PAGE PRESENTED TO THE ACADEMY AT THE ANNUAL MEETING, 1929 HENRY ANDREWS BUMSTEAD BY LIUGH PAGE Henry Andrews Bumstead was born in the small town of Pekin, Illinois, on March 12th, 1870, son of Samuel Josiah Bumstead and Sarah Ellen Seiwell. His father, who was a physician of considerable local prominence, had graduated from the medical school in Philadelphia and was one of the first American students of medicine to go to Vienna to complete his studies. While the family was in Vienna, Bumstead, then a child three years of age, learned to speak German as fluently as he spoke English, an accomplishment which was to prove valuable to him in his subsequent career. Bumstead was descended from an old New England family which traces its origin to Thomas Bumstead, a native of Eng- land, who settled in Boston, Massachusetts, about 1640. Many of his ancestors were engaged in the professions, his paternal grandfather, the Reverend Samuel Andrews Bumstead, being a graduate of Princeton Theological Seminary and a minister in active service. From them he inherited a keen mind and an unusually retentive memory. It is related that long before he had learned to read, his Sunday school teacher surprised his mother by complimenting her on the ease with which her son had rendered the Sunday lesson. It turned out that his mother made a habit of reading the lesson to Bumstead before he left for school, and the child's remarkable performance there was due to his ability to hold in his memory every word of the lesson after hearing it read to him a single time.

  • Can Science Advance Effectively Through Philosophical Criticism and Reflection?
    Can science advance effectively through philosophical criticism and reflection? ROBERTO TORRETTI Universidad de Puerto Rico ABSTRACT Prompted by Hasok Chang’s conception of the history and philosophy of science (HPS) as the continuation of science by other means, I examine the possibility of obtaining scientific knowledge through philosophical criticism and reflection, in the light of four historical cases, concerning (i) the role of absolute space in Newtonian dynamics, (ii) the purported contraction of rods and retardation of clocks in Special Relativity, (iii) the reality of the electromagnetic ether, and (iv) the so-called problem of time’s arrow. In all four cases it is clear that a better understanding of such matters can be achieved —and has been achieved— through conceptual analysis. On the other hand, however, it would seem that this kind of advance has more to do with philosophical questions in science than with narrowly scientific questions. Hence, if HPS in effect continues the work of science by other means, it could well be doing it for other ends than those that working scientists ordinarily have in mind. Keywords: Absolute space – Inertial frames – Length contraction – Clock retardation – Special relativity – Ether – Time – Time directedness – Entropy – Boltzmann entropy Philosophical criticism and the advancement of science 2 The mind will not readily give up the attempt to apprehend the exact formal character of the latent connexions between different physical agencies: and the history of discovery may be held perhaps to supply the strongest reason for estimating effort towards clearness of thought as of not less importance in its own sphere than exploration of phenomena.

Ether and electrons in relativity theory (1900–1911) Scott A. Walter∗ To appear in J. Navarro, ed, Ether and Modernity, 67–87. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2018 Abstract This chapter discusses the roles of ether and electrons in relativity the- ory. One of the most radical moves made by Albert Einstein was to dismiss the ether from electrodynamics. His fellow physicists felt challenged by Einstein’s view, and they came up with a variety of responses, ranging from enthusiastic approval, to dismissive rejection. Among the naysayers were the electron theorists, who were unanimous in their affirmation of the ether, even if they agreed with other aspects of Einstein’s theory of relativity. The eventual success of the latter theory (circa 1911) owed much to Hermann Minkowski’s idea of four-dimensional spacetime, which was portrayed as a conceptual substitute of sorts for the ether.

  • Vortices and Atoms in the Maxwellian Era Abstract Keywords 1. Introduction
    Submitted to Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A, special issue on Topological and geometrical aspects of mass and vortex dynamics Vortices and atoms in the Maxwellian era Isobel Falconer School of Mathematics and Statistics, University of St Andrews, North Haugh, St Andrews, KY16 9SS Email: [email protected] Abstract The mathematical study of vortices began with Herman von Helmholtz’s pioneering study in 1858. It was pursued vigorously over the next two decades, largely by British physicists and mathematicians, in two contexts: Maxwell’s vortex analogy for the electromagnetic field and William Thomson’s (Lord Kelvin) theory that atoms were vortex rings in an all-pervading ether. By the time of Maxwell’s death in 1879, the basic laws of vortices in a perfect fluid in three-dimensional Euclidean space had been established, as had their importance to physics. Early vortex studies were embedded in a web of issues spanning the fields we now know as “mathematics” and “physics” – fields which had not yet become institutionally distinct disciplines but overlapped. This paper investigates the conceptual issues with ideas of force, matter, and space, that underlay mechanics and led to vortex models being an attractive proposition for British physicists, and how these issues played out in the mathematics of vortices, paying particular attention to problems around continuity. It concludes that while they made valuable contributions to hydrodynamics and the nascent field of topology, the British ultimately failed in their more physical objectives. Keywords vortices, vortex atoms, Maxwell, William Thomson, Kelvin, Helmholtz 1. Introduction The mathematical study of vortices began with Herman von Helmholtz’s pioneering study in 1858, translated by Peter Guthrie Tait in 1867 [1,2].

  • A CRITICAL EVALUATION of MODERN PHYSICS by Claudio Voarino
    A CRITICAL EVALUATION OF MODERN PHYSICS By Claudio Voarino A Few Words of Introduction In his article, Science and the Mountain Peak, Professor Isaac Asimov wrote: “There has been at least one occasion in history, when Greek secular and rational thought bowed to the mystical aspect of Christianity, and what followed was a Dark Age. We can’t afford another!” I don’t think I am exaggerating when I say that, when it comes to Modern Physics (also known as New Physics), we have indeed been in some sort of intellectual dark age, whether we can afford it or not. In fact, we have been in it since the end of the 19 th Century; and this is when Classical Physics started to be substituted with Modern Physics. This despite the fact there were lots of instances that clearly show the absurdity and science-fictional character of most of the theories of this kind of physics, which I will be discussing in details further on in this article. But for now, the following few examples should prove the correctness of my opinion on this topic. Incidentally, for the purpose of this article, the word ‘physics’ means mostly ‘astrophysics’. Also, whenever referring to modern physicists, I think it is more accurate to add the adjective ‘theoretical’ before the word ‘physicists’. I am saying that because I just cannot associate the main tenets of Relativity and Quantum Physics theories with physical reality. The following example should attest the truth of my statement. Back on September 10, 1989, the Australian newspaper Sunday Telegraph carried the following bizarre article entitled Keep Looking or the Moon May Vanish.
