  • Controversies in the History of the Radiation Reaction Problem in General Relativity

    Controversies in the History of the Radiation Reaction Problem in General Relativity

    DIVISION OF THE HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY PASADENA, CALIFORNIA 91125 CONTROVERSIES IN THE HISTORY OF THE RADIATION REACTION PROBLEM IN GENERAL RELATIVITY Daniel Kennefick ,.... 0 ...0 HUMANITIES WORKING PAPER 164 August 1996 Controversies in the History of the Radiation Reaction problem in General Relativity Daniel Kennefick* 1 Introduction Beginning in the early 1950s, experts in the theory of general relativity debated vigorously whether the theory predicted the emission of gravitational radiation from binary star systems. For a time, doubts also arose on whether gravitational waves could carry any energy. Since radiation phenomena have played a key role in the development of 20th century field theories, it is the main purpose of this paper to examine the reasons for the growth of scepticism regarding radiation in the case of the gravitational field. Although the focus is on the period from the mid-1930s to about 1960, when the modern study of gravitational waves was developing, some attention is also paid to the more recent and unexpected emergence of experimental data on gravitational waves which considerably sharpened the debate on certain controversial aspects of the theory of gravity waves. I analyze the use of the earlier history as a rhetorical device in review papers written by protagonists of the "quadrupole formula controversy" in the late 1970s and early 1980s. I argue that relativists displayed a lively interest in the historical background to the problem and exploited their knowledge of the literature to justify their own work and their assessment of the contemporary state of the subject. This illuminates the role of a scientific field's sense of its own history as a mediator in scientific controversy.

BALDWIN has left an enduring mark on his field, for he was the preeminent historian of high medieval France of his gener- J ation. This fact France recognized when he was elected to the Institut de France as one of the forty Corresponding Members of the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres, was named a chevalier of the Légion d’honneur, and received the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. A Foreign Member of the Royal Danish Academy, Corresponding Fellow of the British Academy, and Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, he was elected to the APS in 2004. As a graduate student, Baldwin went to France with a Fulbright fellowship. There, he found his life’s partner and his life’s work. He held a Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship as well as awards from the APS, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the American Council of Learned Societies. He was President of the Medieval Academy of America (1996–7), from which he had earlier won the Charles Homer Haskins Medal (1990). With his customary modesty, Baldwin often protested that his work was limited because it focused on only a few generations either side of 1200 in the general area of Paris. Yet few historians have done as much as he, in 11 books and many articles, to illuminate so great a turning point in European civilization.

Planning for the publication of the Collected Works began soon after Bohr’s death in 1962. The driving force behind the project was Bohr’s close collaborator, the Belgian physicist and historian of science Léon Rosenfeld, who was the first General Editor of the series. The first volume, covering the early years up to 1911, was published in 1972 with Jens Rud Nielsen (1894–1979) as editor. However, this was the only volume that Rosenfeld would see, for he died in 1974. The project, originally conceived as a ten-year effort, was not completed until well into the next century. After an interim period with Rud Nielsen doing the brunt of the work, Erik Rüdinger was named General Editor in 1977. Mary Calvert using the 12-inch refractor at Yerkes Observatory, Rüdinger had served as Bohr’s scientific assistant for a brief February 23, 1926. She was Edward E. Barnard’s niece, and after period near the end of Bohr’s life. In Volume 5 (published his death, co-editor of his book A Photographic Atlas of Selected 1985), the first under Rüdinger’s control, Rüdinger laid out the Regions of the Milky Way published in 1927 by the Carnegie general editorial policy and practice that have been followed Institution of Washington.

Newark, New Jersey Cover Photo: Dinah Kazakoff The Institute for Advanced Study exists to encourage and support fundamental research in the sciences and humanities—the original, often speculative, thinking that produces advances in knowledge that change the way we understand the world. THE SCHOOL OF HISTORICAL STUDIES, established in 1949 with the merging of the School of Economics and Politics and the School of Humanistic Studies, is concerned principally with the history of Western European, Near Eastern, and East Asian civilizations. The School actively promotes interdisciplinary research and cross-fertilization of ideas. THE SCHOOL OF MATHEMATICS, established in 1933, was the first School at the Institute for Advanced Study.

    Gravitation and General Relativity at King's College London

    Gravitation and General Relativity at King’s College London D C Robinson Mathematics Department King’s College London Strand, London WC2R 2LS United Kingdom [email protected] September 17, 2019 ABSTRACT: This essay concerns the study of gravitation and general relativity at King’s College London (KCL). It covers developments since the nineteenth century but its main focus is on the quarter of a century beginning in 1955. At King’s research in the twenty-five years from 1955 was dominated initially by the study of gravitational waves and then by the investigation of the classical and quantum aspects of black holes. While general relativity has been studied extensively by both physicists and mathematicians, most of the work at King’s described here was undertaken in the mathematics department. arXiv:1811.07303v3 [physics.hist-ph] 16 Sep 2019 1 1 Introduction This essay is an account of the study of gravitation and general relativity at King’s College London (KCL) and the contributions by mathematicians and physicists who were, at one time or another, associated with the college. It covers a period of about 150 years from the nineteenth century until the last quarter of the twentieth century. Beginning with a brief account of the foundation of the College in the 19th century and the establishment of the professorships of mathematics and natural science it concludes in the early 1980’s when both the College and the theoretical physics research undertaken there were changing. During the nineteenth century the College was small and often strug- gled. Nevertheless there were a number of people associated with it who, in different ways, made memorable contributions to the development of our understanding of gravity.
