  • Physics and Feynman's Diagrams » American Scientist 6/3/10 12:09 PM
    Physics and Feynman's Diagrams » American Scientist 6/3/10 12:09 PM FEATURE ARTICLE Physics and Feynman's Diagrams In the hands of a postwar generation, a tool intended to lead quantum electrodynamics out of a decades-long morass helped transform physics David Kaiser George Gamow, the wisecracking theoretical physicist who helped invent the Big Bang model of the universe, was fond of explaining what he liked best about his line of work: He could lie down on a couch and close his eyes, and no one would be able to tell whether he was working or not. A fine gag, but a bad model for thinking about the day-to-day work that theoretical physicists do. For too long, physicists, historians and philosophers took Gamow's joke quite seriously. Research in theory, we were told, concerns abstract thought wholly separated from anything like labor, activity or skill. Theories, worldviews or paradigms seemed the appropriate units of analysis, and the challenge lay in charting the birth and conceptual development of particular ideas. In the accounts that resulted from such studies, the skilled manipulation of tools played little role. Ideas, embodied in texts, traveled easily from theorist to theorist, shorn of the material constraints that encumbered experimental physicists (tied as they were to their electron microscopes, accelerators or bubble chambers). The age-old trope of minds versus hands has been at play in our account of progress in physics, which pictures a purely cognitive realm of ideas separated from a manual realm of action. This depiction of what theorists do, I am convinced, obscures a great deal more than it clarifies.

Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 2006 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON, D.C. Photograph by Whitley-Strawbridge Inc. WALTER GORDY April 20, 1909–October 6, 1985 BY FRANK C. DE LUCIA AND BRENDA P. WINNEWISSER ALTER GORDY WAS ONE of the founding fathers of micro- W wave spectroscopy, a man of vision, scientific taste, disarming humor, and great personal warmth. In 1948 he wrote the first comprehensive review of the field for Re- views of Modern Physics, envisioning much of its future. Early in the development of the field he recognized the scientific and technical importance of expanding into the millimeter and submillimeter spectral regions and devoted a significant portion of his efforts over the next 30 years toward this end. His vision of the importance of the shorter wavelengths has come to fruition in the explosion of fields as varied and vital as interstellar radio astronomy and inves- tigations of the most fundamental atomic and molecular interactions, as well as the current enthusiasm for the terahertz spectral region. Gordy also had the foresight to see the possibilities of applying microwave techniques to the study of biological problems and in doing so became one of the pioneers in biophysics. He opened the field of study of electron spin resonance of radiation damage in both amorphous and later crystalline organic and biologi- cal materials.

    Physics 1989 NORMAN F RAMSEY for the invention of the separated oscillatory fields method and its use in the hydrogen maser and other atomic clocks HANS G DEHMELT and WOLFGANG PAUL for the development of the ion trap technique THE NOBEL PRIZE IN PHYSICS Speech by Professor Ingvar Lindgren of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Translation from the Swedish text. Your Majesties, Your Royal Highnesses, Ladies and Gentlemen. This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics is shared between three scientists, Professor Norman Ramsey, Harvard University, Professor Hans Dehmelt, University of Washington, Seattle, and Professor Wolfgang Paul, University of Bonn, for “contributions of importance for the development of atomic precision spectroscopy. ” The works of the laureates have led to dramatic advances in the field of precision spectroscopy in recent years. Methods have been developed that form the basis for our present definition of time, and these techniques are applied for such disparate purposes as testing Einstein’s general theory of relativity and measuring continental drift. An atom has certain fixed energy levels, and transition between these levels can take place by means of emission or absorption of electromagnetic radiation, such as light. Transition between closely spaced levels can be induced by means of radio-frequency radiation, and this forms the basis for so-called resonance methods. The first method of this kind was introduced by Professor I. Rabi in 1937, and the same basic idea underlies the resonance methods developed later, such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), electron-spin resonance (ESR) and optical pumping. In Rabi’s method a beam of atoms passes through an oscillating field, and if the frequency of that field is right, transition between atomic levels can take place.

  • Physics Curriculum Reform: How Can We Do It?
    PHYSICS CURRICULUM REFORM: HOW CAN WE DO IT? Robert G.Fuller, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Nebraska -Lincoln, USA The physics community in the United States of American is facing a crisis. This crisis has been described in presentations and papers at professional meetings in various ways. Let me introduce you to the crisis faced by the physics community by discussing three different published papers that present views of this crisis. First is the paper by David Goodstein, Provost of the California Institute of Technology and a physicist who co-authored The Mechanical Universe television series and textbook. According to Provost Goodstein "The Big Crunch" occurred in the 1970s which was the end of 100 years of exponential growth of science in the USA. No longer was increase financial support and national interest in science guaranteed. Our educational institutions are poorly adapted to deal with a different future. In the USA science education has produced the Paradox of Scientific Elites and Scientific Illiterates. We have a small cadre of exceptional scientists and a broad population of scientific illiterate people. The model for science education in the USA has been described as a leaky pipeline. This is the wrong. Mining and Sorting is a better metaphor for science education in the USA. The purpose of the education enterprise has been to sort out the student unworthy of a professional degree in science. It reaches its culmination in graduate school. Research professors obtain external funding, independent of the needs of the institution, to run their research programs. In the steady state each professor needs to turn out ONE Professor for the next generation.
