  • Inconsistency of Biography of Tsien Hsue-Shen
    Inconsistency of Biography of Tsien Hsue-Shen Jian-zhong Zhao ( School of Resource, Environment and Earth Science, Yunnan University, China, [email protected] ) Abstract: Tsien Hsue-Shen, an expert of mechanics, the “King of Rocketry” of China, lived in US for twenty years long. Iris Chang (by a book in 1995) and Judith R. Goodstein (by a report of a conversation with Lee Alvin DuBridge in 2003) gave accounts of Tsien’s biography. In 2013, “Exhibition of Achievements of People’s Scientist Tsien Hsue-Shen” toured to universities in Shanghai and Chinese cities of Beijing, Kunming, Chengdu, Wuhan, Lanzhou and Huhehaote, displaying a different version of Tsien’s activities in US and declaring that Tsien read and studied, with great concentration, the philosophy of Marxism during his stay in US. In the present article, the Marxism reading is questioned, interpreting that Tsien’s success stems from the technology that he learned in US rather than the philosophy of Marxism. Tsien left behind puzzles, as well as rockets, missiles and satellites, as his legacy. His legend remains mysterious and inconsistent even today. Key words: Tsien Hsue-Shen, biography, inconsistency, philosophy, rocketry, Marxism, Anti-Duhring, Dialectics of Nature, Capital, puzzles Introduction On December 11, 2011, the centennial of birth of Tsien Hsue-Shen, “Tsien Hsue-Shen Library & Museum” was established in Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China, and opened to the public. In 2013, “Exhibition of Achievements of People’s Scientist Tsien Hsue-Shen” toured to universities in Shanghai and Chinese cities of Beijing, Kunming, Chengdu, Wuhan, Lanzhou and Huhehaote. Who is Tsien Hsue-Shen ? It is said that Mao Ze-dong, chairman of People’s Republic of China 1949-1976, called him “King of Rocketry”.

DuBridge As a new radioisotope was discovered, a tag went on the appropriate cup hook: blue for Berkeley, 1901-1994 orange for Princeton, and yellow for Rochester. In my senior year a good portion of the wall was in Rochester's dandelion yellow. That was heady stuff. My senior thesis involved making an electrom­ eter to measure short half life radioactivities, and then actually measuring one. I did these things. On my senior oral it turned out I didn't under­ stand what I had measured; I had found a beta activity of a few minutes, but what was it? I could balance the equation, but I couldn't believe I had been measuring positrons-after all, not long ago they had been discovered by Carl Anderson in the cosmic radiation, and I didn't know we had them on the East Coast. Lee DuBridge pointed out that they were as "com­ mon as snakes in the grass." By the time I graduated, I knew that Lee was a warm and generous person, an excellent teacher Lee A.

    Under the Radar Physics, Engineering, and the Distortion of a World War Two Legacy A thesis presented by Raphael Chayim Rosen to The Department of the History of Science in partial fulfillment for an honors degree in History and Science Harvard University Cambridge, Massachusetts March 2006 Under the Radar Physics, Engineering, and the Distortion of a World War Two Legacy Raphael Chayim Rosen Abstract This thesis examines the historical legacy of microwave radar development during World War II. At the M.I.T. Radiation Laboratory in 1940-1941, physicists attempted to construct a working microwave radar set. These physicists heavily relied upon engineering skills: focusing on enhancing the efficiency and efficacy of specific components of radar technology. In the postwar era, as a result of the new celebrity of physicists, their wartime inventions, including microwave radar, became associated with physics itself, not engineering. The community of engineers lacked the authority and recognition necessary to reclaim a share of the credit for their discipline. Physicists never emphasized engineering’s importance, because they did not see it as containing independent forms of knowledge or creativity and so did not believe it had played a key role in their inventiveness. This thesis concludes with a brief investigation of engineering’s endogenous forms of knowledge and their relation to the Radiation Laboratory. Keywords M.I.T.
