I also should not hide my large personal debt to him, for without his recommendation in the 1950s to the Albert Einstein Estate, I would not have received its warm welcome and its permission, as the first one to do historical research in the treasure trove of unpublished letters and manuscripts, thus starting me on a major part of my career in the history of science.

Mémoire sur l’action mutuelle d’un conducteur voltaïque et d’un aimant. Offprint from Nouveaux Mémoires de l’Académie royale des sciences et belles-lettres de Bruxelles, tome IV, 1827. Bound with 18 other pamphlets (listed below). [Colophon:] Brussels: Hayez, Imprimeur de l’Académie Royale, 1827. $38,000 4to (265 x 205 mm). Contemporary quarter-cloth and plain boards (very worn and broken, with most of the spine missing), entirely unrestored. Preserved in a custom cloth box. First edition of the very rare offprint, with the most desirable imaginable provenance: this copy is inscribed by Ampère to Michael Faraday. It thus links the two great founders of electromagnetism, following its discovery by Hans Christian Oersted (1777-1851) in April 1820. The discovery by Ampère (1775-1836), late in the same year, of the force acting between current-carrying conductors was followed a year later by Faraday’s (1791-1867) first great discovery, that of electromagnetic rotation, the first conversion of electrical into mechanical energy. This development was a challenge to Ampère’s mathematically formulated explanation of electromagnetism as a manifestation of currents of electrical fluids surrounding ‘electrodynamic’ molecules; indeed, Faraday directly criticised Ampère’s theory, preferring his own explanation in terms of ‘lines of force’ (which had to wait for James Clerk Maxwell (1831-79) for a precise mathematical formulation).

  • Die Ausgrenzung Und Vertreibung Von Physikern Im Nationalsozialismus - Welche Rolle Spielte Die DPG?
    1 Die Ausgrenzung und Vertreibung von Physikern im Nationalsozialismus - welche Rolle spielte die DPG? In: D. Hoffmann; M. Walker (Hrsg.): Physiker zwischen Autonomie und Anpassung. Berlin: Wiley, 2006, S. 91-138. Einleitung Die „Machtergreifung“ der Nationalsozialisten führte bereits im Frühjahr 1933 zu einer schwerwiegenden Zäsur im deutschen Kultur- und Geistesleben. Das Instrumentarium dafür verschaffte sich die neue Regierung mit jener Gesetzgebung, die euphemistisch angeblich „das Berufsbeamtentum wiederherstellen“ wollte, aber als wichtigste Bestimmung die sogenannten Nichtarier aus dem öffentlichen Dienst entfernte. An den deutschen Universitäten kam es daraufhin zu einer großen Zahl von Beurlaubungen und Entlassungen. Das trieb viele von den Betroffenen, insbesondere die Jüngeren unter ihnen, denen damit die Existenzgrundlage entzogen worden war, recht bald in die Emigration. Es war 1933 noch nicht zwingend abzusehen, dass es sich nicht nur um eine vorübergehende Maßnahme, sondern erst um den Beginn einer Abfolge von diskriminierenden Gesetzen und Verordnungen handelte. Sie schufen die Grundlage dafür, politische Gegner und „Nichtarier“ bzw. später in etwas engerem Sinn als Juden definierte Bürger aus dem öffentlichen Leben Deutschlands völlig auszuschließen. Die Physik gehörte zu den davon überdurchschnittlich stark betroffenen Disziplinen.1 Vor diesem Hintergrund stellt sich die Frage, inwieweit die Berufsorganisation der Physiker, die Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft (DPG), willens und in der Lage war, eventuelle Handlungsspielräume zu nutzen, um auch die Interessen der auf diese Weise ausgegrenzten Kollegen zu vertreten. Anmerkungen 1 Siehe z. B. S.L.Wolff, Vertreibung und Emigration in der Physik, Physik in unserer Zeit 24 (1993), S. 267-273. 2 Die Reaktionen der DPG auf die Entlassungen durch die nationalsozialistische Gesetzgebung Für die DPG gab es zwei zentrale Aufgabenbereiche.

Within the Dachau military tribunal programme, were the concentration camp trials in which personnel from the Dachau, Mauthausen, Buchenwald, Flossenbürg, and Dora-Mittelbau concentration camps were arraigned.

  • A Note on the Prehistory of Superheavy Elements
    1 A Note on the Prehistory of Superheavy Elements HELGE KRAGHa Centre for Science Studies, Aarhus University, Building 1529, 8000 Aarhus, Denmark Abstract Artificially produced chemical elements heavier than uranium have been known for more than seventy years and the number of superheavy elements continues to grow. Presently 26 transuranic elements are known. This paper examines the earliest scientific interest in the very heavy elements and the related question of an upper limit of the periodic system. In the period from the 1880s to the early 1930s, three kinds of questions appealed to a minority of physicists, chemists and astronomers: (1) Why is uranium the heaviest known element? (2) Do there exist transuranic or superheavy elements elsewhere in the universe, such as in stellar interiors? (3) Is there a maximum number of elements, corresponding to a theoretical limit for the periodic system? The early attempts to answer or clarify these questions lacked a foundation in nuclear physics, not to mention the total lack of experimental evidence, which explains why most of them were of a speculative nature. Although the speculations led no nothing, they are interesting in their own right and deserve a place in the history of the physical sciences. 1 Introduction How many chemical elements are there? How many can there be? Is there an upper limit to the atomic weight of an element? Over the last couple of decades these questions have been part of several successful large-scale research programmes aiming at synthesizing superheavy elements with an atomic number larger than Z = 107. Among the important players in this area of experimental nuclear physics are the Gesellschaft für Schwerionforschung in Darmstadt, Germany, and the Dubna Joint Institute for Nuclear Research near Moscow a e-mail: [email protected] 2 [Armbruster and Münzenberg 2012; Hofmann 2002].

  • The Tausk Controversy on the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics: Physics, Philosophy, and Politics
    Phys. perspect. 10 (2008) 138–162 1422-6944/08/020138–25 DOI 10.1007/s00016-007-0347-1 The Tausk Controversy on the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics: Physics, Philosophy, and Politics Osvaldo Pessoa, Jr., Olival Freire, Jr., and Alexis De Greiff* In 1966 the Brazilian physicist Klaus Tausk (b. 1927) circulated a preprint from the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste,Italy,criticizing Adriana Daneri,Angelo Loinger,and Gio- vanni Maria Prosperi’s theory of 1962 on the measurement problem in quantum mechanics.A heated controversy ensued between two opposing camps within the orthodox interpretation of quantum theory, represented by Léon Rosenfeld and Eugene P.Wigner.The controversy went well beyond the strictly scientific issues,however,reflecting philosophical and political commitments within the context of the Cold War, the relationship between science in developed and Third World countries, the importance of social skills, and personal idiosyncrasies. Key words: Klaus S. Tausk;Adriana Daneri; Angelo Loinger; Giovanni Maria Prosperi; Piero Caldirola; Niels Bohr; Léon Rosenfeld; Werner Heisenberg; John von Neumann; Eugene Wigner; Josef Maria Jauch; David Bohm; Jeffrey Bub; Abdus Salam; Mauritius Renninger; Jean-Pierre Vigier; Luciano Fonda; Georg Süssmann; John S.
