  • Ludwig Boltzmann Was Born in Vienna, Austria. He Received His Early Education from a Private Tutor at Home
    Ludwig Boltzmann (1844-1906) Ludwig Boltzmann was born in Vienna, Austria. He received his early education from a private tutor at home. In 1863 he entered the University of Vienna, and was awarded his doctorate in 1866. His thesis was on the kinetic theory of gases under the supervision of Josef Stefan. Boltzmann moved to the University of Graz in 1869 where he was appointed chair of the department of theoretical physics. He would move six more times, occupying chairs in mathematics and experimental physics. Boltzmann was one of the most highly regarded scientists, and universities wishing to increase their prestige would lure him to their institutions with high salaries and prestigious posts. Boltzmann himself was subject to mood swings and he joked that this was due to his being born on the night between Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday (or between Carnival and Lent). Traveling and relocating would temporarily provide relief from his depression. He married Henriette von Aigentler in 1876. They had three daughters and two sons. Boltzmann is best known for pioneering the field of statistical mechanics. This work was done independently of J. Willard Gibbs (who never moved from his home in Connecticut). Together their theories connected the seemingly wide gap between the macroscopic properties and behavior of substances with the microscopic properties and behavior of atoms and molecules. Interestingly, the history of statistical mechanics begins with a mathematical prize at Cambridge in 1855 on the subject of evaluating the motions of Saturn’s rings. (Laplace had developed a mechanical theory of the rings concluding that their stability was due to irregularities in mass distribution.) The prize was won by James Clerk Maxwell who then went on to develop the theory that, without knowing the individual motions of particles (or molecules), it was possible to use their statistical behavior to calculate properties of a gas such as viscosity, collision rate, diffusion rate and the ability to conduct heat.

  • Hans Thirring, on the Formal Analogy Between the Basic Electromagnetic Equations and Einstein’S Gravity Equations in first Approximation
    Gen Relativ Gravit (2012) 44:3217–3224 DOI 10.1007/s10714-012-1450-4 GOLDEN OLDIE EDITORIAL Editorial note to: Hans Thirring, On the formal analogy between the basic electromagnetic equations and Einstein’s gravity equations in first approximation Herbert Pfister Published online: 26 October 2012 © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2012 Keywords Gravitomagnetism · Frame dragging · Lense–Thirring effect · Experimental relativity · Golden Oldie 1 Technical comments on the Thirring paper The paper contains some inconsistencies and errors, and an undefined quantity, which, however, does not invalidate the final equations for gravitomagnetism. Since in a realistic rotating body (angular velocity ω) there arise centrifugal stresses of order ω2, it is inconsistent to incorporate the velocities v of the field-generating body up to second order but to treat this body as incoherent matter (dust). The same incon- sistency appeared in Thirring’s model of a rotating mass shell [1], which therefore did not correctly solve the Einstein equations (in the shell). For this case the inconsistency was observed and corrected by Lanczos [2]. In the present paper the inconsistency has no severe consequences because the second order terms in v anyhow are quite unimportant. An error in Thirring’s paper appears in the integration volume dV0 which has to be substituted by dV = dV0/(dx4/ds). The same error appeared in Thirring’s paper [1] on the rotating mass shell, was there observed by M. Laue and W. Pauli, and corrected by Thirring in [3]. But, as with the inconsistency with the incoherent The republication of the original paper can be found in this issue following the editorial note and online via doi:10.1007/s10714-012-1451-3.

  • Chapter 1 the Biography of a Trafficking Material
    Trafficking Materials and Maria Rentetzi Gendered Experimental Practices Chapter 1 The Biography of a Trafficking Material In 1904, an article titled "Radium and Radioactivity" appeared in Century 1 Magazine, a monthly popular magazine published from 1881 to 1930. The article presents Marie Curie's personal account of the discovery of radium and radioactivity. In the article, Curie discusses in depth her arduous attempts to study the radiation of the compounds of uranium and that of known chemical elements, hoping to discover more which are endowed with atomic radioactivity. She revels that it was the chemists who supplied her with the materials she needed. "As I desired to make a very thorough investigation, I had resource to different chemists, who put at my disposal specimens—in some cases the only ones in existence—containing very rare elements." Her next step was to examine different minerals, especially the oxide of uranium 2 ore (pitchblende). To her great surprise, this specimen was found to be four times more active than oxide of uranium itself. The explanation was more than obvious. "The ore must contain a substance more radioactive than uranium and thorium, and this substance must necessarily be a chemical element as yet unknown."1 Her attempts to isolate the new element would lead Marie and Pierre Curie, who joined her research shortly after, to the discovery of both polonium and radium, to the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903, and to a second Nobel Prize in 1911, this time in chemistry. This chapter attempts to present a cultural
