  • The Boundaries of Nature: Special & General Relativity and Quantum
    “The Boundaries of Nature: Special & General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, A Second Course in Physics” Edwin F. Taylor's acceptance speech for the 1998 Oersted medal presented by the American Association of Physics Teachers, 6 January 1998 Edwin F. Taylor Center for Innovation in Learning, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA 15213 (Now at 22 Hopkins Road, Arlington, MA 02476-8109, email [email protected] , web http://www.artsaxis.com/eftaylor/ ) ABSTRACT Public hunger for relativity and quantum mechanics is insatiable, and we should use it selectively but shamelessly to attract students, most of whom will not become physics majors, but all of whom can experience "deep physics." Science, engineering, and mathematics students, indeed anyone comfortable with calculus, can now delve deeply into special and general relativity and quantum mechanics. Big chunks of general relativity require only calculus if one starts with the metric describing spacetime around Earth or black hole. Expressions for energy and angular momentum follow, along with orbit predictions for particles and light. Feynman's Sum Over Paths quantum theory simply commands the electron: Explore all paths. Students can model this command with the computer, pointing and clicking to tell the electron which paths to explore; wave functions and bound states arise naturally. A second full year course in physics covering special relativity, general relativity, and quantum mechanics would have wide appeal -- and might also lead to significant advancements in upper-level courses for the physics major. © 1998 American Association of Physics Teachers INTRODUCTION It is easy to feel intimidated by those who have in the past received the Oersted Medal, especially those with whom I have worked closely in the enterprise of physics teaching: Edward M.

  • Concerning Relativity Books. Published in June 2013 INTERVIEW WITH
    Interview for Hungarian “Physical Review” concerning relativity books. Published in June 2013 INTERVIEW WITH EDWIN F. TAYLOR, SENIOR RESEARCH SCIENTIST, EMERITUS AT THE MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY (FSZ: Fizikai Szemle, EFT: Edwin F. Taylor) FSZ: Spacetime Physics, the book you co-authored with John Archibald Wheeler, has many fans among physicists throughout the world, and Hungary is no exception. (The Hungarian edition was first published in 1974; the second printing of this edition came out in 2006 [1].) In 1972 you published an account of your collaboration with John Wheeler on the 1963 edition of Spacetime Physics and your personal impressions about John Wheeler (including his emotional reaction to the news of his mentor Niels Bohr’s death in November 1962) [2]. Your collaboration and friendship with Wheeler started during your sabbatical at Princeton University in 1962. One of your assignments was to prepare lecture notes for a freshman physics course that Wheeler taught to a class of 35 students. He started the course with 6 weeks of relativity! What had been your main areas of interest in physics before you met John Wheeler? Had you been particularly interested in relativity, or was it Wheeler’s presentation of it during that introductory physics course in 1962 which made it a lifelong passion for you? EFT: My father, Lloyd W. Taylor, was a physics textbook writer, so it came naturally to me. My first book, Introductory Mechanics, arrived from the publisher when I was on a junior faculty sabbatical at Princeton University; that book included some chapters on special relativity. Wheeler arranged for me to assist him in this honors introductory class [3].

  • In Remembrance
    In Remembrance Kerson Huang, professor emeritus of physics, dies at 88 Theoretical physicist was also known for his translations of Chinese texts. by Scott Morley, Laboratory for Nuclear Science MIT Professor Emeritus Kerson Huang, who was well known for his contributions to the field of statistical physics, passed away on September 1, 2016, at the age of 88. Born March 15, 1928, in Nanning, Kwangsi, China, Huang spent his youth primarily in Manila, The Philippines. He received his BS in physics in 1950 and his PhD in 1953, both from MIT. He was one of the most prominent advisees of Austrian-American theoretical physicist Victor Weisskopf. Huang served as an instructor at MIT from 1953 to 1955 before spending two years as a fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study. He returned to MIT in 1957 as an assistant professor in physics and was promoted to associate professor in 1961 and to professor in 1966. He was part of the first faculty of the Center for Theoretical Physics (CTP) when it was inaugurated in 1968, and was also a researcher in the Laboratory for Nuclear Science. Together with C. N. Yang, T. D. Lee and others, Huang contributed to the development of the consistent many-body description of interactions of identical particles such as helium atoms. With Steven Weinberg, Huang showed that the spectrum of strongly interacting particles is so rich that it implies that there is an ultimate temperature above which the description in terms of hadrons breaks down. Together with T. D. Lee and C. N. Yang, and separately with Francis Low, Huang wrote important papers on the nature of the weak interaction, especially the way in which then newly-discovered parity violation could be observed experimentally.

  • For Immediate Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Nobel Laureate Carl Wieman Recognized for Outstanding Leadership in Physics Education College Park, Maryland, United States, November 29, 2006 The American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT; http://www.aapt.org) announced today that its most prestigious award, The Oersted Medal, has been awarded to Dr. Carl Wieman (University of Colorado at Boulder) in recognition of notable contributions to the teaching of physics. Dick Peterson, Chair, AAPT Awards Committee said, “Carl stands tall in the tradition of those at the very pinnacle of physics achievement who have become deeply involved with the teaching of physics at all levels while also reaching out to motivate the next generation of physicists.” AAPT President, Ken Heller added, “Carl not only recognizes the difficulties of teaching introductory physics at the university level, he has done something about it. After identifying basic problems in introductory physics classes, he researched the previous work on those problems and the tools that might be applicable to solve them. He then gathered people who were inspired by his vision, optimism, and insight to work with him to attack these problems. His goals are to advance the level of educational excellence for everyone who teaches at this level.” Dr. Wieman’s attitude about, and activities in, physics education are very much consistent with the values of AAPT and its efforts to enhance the teaching of physics at different levels. “Nobel Laureate Wieman exemplifies the rare combination of creative scientist and committed teacher,” stated Toufic Hakim, AAPT’s Executive Officer. “He brings as much vigor, rigor, and dedication to his classroom as he does his laboratory, very much in line with our association’s mantra of better physics through teaching.” Wieman, 55, is currently a Distinguish Professor of Physics, Presidential Teaching Scholar, and Fellow of JILA at the University of Colorado.
