  • The Creation of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste
    Alexis De Greiff The tale of two peripheries The Tale of Two Peripheries: The Creation of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste Publicado con cambios menores en Historical Studies of Physical and Biological Sciences (Special Issue, Alexis De Greiff y David Kaiser, eds.) Vol. 33, Part 1 (2002), pp. 33-60. Alexis De Greiff* Abstract: This paper can be seen in the intersection between history of 20th-century physics, diplomatic history and international relations of science. In this work I analyze the dynamics of the negotiations to create the International Centre for Theoretical Physics, which took place between 1960 and 1963 at the International Atomic Energy Agency. In contrast to previous studies on the creation of international scientific institutions, I pay special attention to the active role played by scientists, politicians and intellectuals from the host-city, Trieste (Italy). Further, I spell out the historical circumstances that allowed this group of local actors to become key figures in the establishment of the Centre. I discuss in detail their interests as well as the political and scientific environment that eventually catalysed the diplomatic efforts of the Trieste elite. The present paper is also concerned with the strategies adopted by the advocates of the idea to confront the hostility of delegations from several industrialized countries, the Soviet Union and India. A frontier is a strip which divides and links, a sour gash like a wound which heals with difficulty, a no-man’s land, a mixed territory, whose inhabitants often feel that they do not belong to any clearly-defined country, or at least they do not belong to any country with that obvious certainty with which one usually identifies with ones native land.

  • Theory and Experiment in the Quantum-Relativity Revolution
    Theory and Experiment in the Quantum-Relativity Revolution expanded version of lecture presented at American Physical Society meeting, 2/14/10 (Abraham Pais History of Physics Prize for 2009) by Stephen G. Brush* Abstract Does new scientific knowledge come from theory (whose predictions are confirmed by experiment) or from experiment (whose results are explained by theory)? Either can happen, depending on whether theory is ahead of experiment or experiment is ahead of theory at a particular time. In the first case, new theoretical hypotheses are made and their predictions are tested by experiments. But even when the predictions are successful, we can’t be sure that some other hypothesis might not have produced the same prediction. In the second case, as in a detective story, there are already enough facts, but several theories have failed to explain them. When a new hypothesis plausibly explains all of the facts, it may be quickly accepted before any further experiments are done. In the quantum-relativity revolution there are examples of both situations. Because of the two-stage development of both relativity (“special,” then “general”) and quantum theory (“old,” then “quantum mechanics”) in the period 1905-1930, we can make a double comparison of acceptance by prediction and by explanation. A curious anti- symmetry is revealed and discussed. _____________ *Distinguished University Professor (Emeritus) of the History of Science, University of Maryland.

Sometimes it is only one foot which is put forward first, sometimes the other, but continuous progress is only made by the use of both – by theorizing and then testing, or by finding new relations in the process of experimenting and then bringing the theoretical foot up and pushing it on beyond, and so on in unending alterations.” Robert A.

  • Wolfgang Pauli 1900 to 1930: His Early Physics in Jungian Perspective
    Wolfgang Pauli 1900 to 1930: His Early Physics in Jungian Perspective A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Minnesota by John Richard Gustafson In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Advisor: Roger H. Stuewer Minneapolis, Minnesota July 2004 i © John Richard Gustafson 2004 ii To my father and mother Rudy and Aune Gustafson iii Abstract Wolfgang Pauli's philosophy and physics were intertwined. His philosophy was a variety of Platonism, in which Pauli’s affiliation with Carl Jung formed an integral part, but Pauli’s philosophical explorations in physics appeared before he met Jung. Jung validated Pauli’s psycho-philosophical perspective. Thus, the roots of Pauli’s physics and philosophy are important in the history of modern physics. In his early physics, Pauli attempted to ground his theoretical physics in positivism. He then began instead to trust his intuitive visualizations of entities that formed an underlying reality to the sensible physical world. These visualizations included holistic kernels of mathematical-physical entities that later became for him synonymous with Jung’s mandalas. I have connected Pauli’s visualization patterns in physics during the period 1900 to 1930 to the psychological philosophy of Jung and displayed some examples of Pauli’s creativity in the development of quantum mechanics. By looking at Pauli's early physics and philosophy, we gain insight into Pauli’s contributions to quantum mechanics. His exclusion principle, his influence on Werner Heisenberg in the formulation of matrix mechanics, his emphasis on firm logical and empirical foundations, his creativity in formulating electron spinors, his neutrino hypothesis, and his dialogues with other quantum physicists, all point to Pauli being the dominant genius in the development of quantum theory.

  • Marta's Appendix: My Life with Mario
    Marta’s Appendix: My Life with Mario My goal in contributing to the memoirs that Mario is preparing for his 95th birthday is to supplement them by adding something new about him as a person. In order to do this I must necessarily refer to myself. Specifi cally, I will touch on the various aspects of our long life together in which Mario has had, and in some cases contin- ues to have, an important infl uence on me. I will not dwell on Mario Bunge as a philosopher, a physicist, or the author of work that is both vast and profound. Religion Like most middle-class Argentinians of my generation, I was educated (so to speak) in the midst of the Catholicism professed by my parents. I spent both my elementary and secondary school years as a day student at a religious school run by Carmelite Spanish nuns, situated in the Belgrano neighborhood of Buenos Aires where we lived. The religion taught at the school was just a collection of rites and stories from the bible, which in fact was limited to the New Testament. Once I showed the nuns an edition of the Old Testament that I had found in my father’s study at home. To my surprise, their reaction was one of anger – I was then ordered, without explanation, to take the book back home. At the end of high school I found myself inclined to pursue philosophy, motivated by a course taught in its last year that included Aristotelian logic. For this reason, and since I had been forbidden by my parents to attend the University of Buenos Aires (“a focus of dangerous ideas and a bastion of Peronism”), I enrolled as a phi- losophy student at the National Teacher’s College located near my home in Buenos Aires.

(Guido Beck, 1983)1 Sumário: Este artigo descreve o papel desempenhado pelo físico austríaco Guido Beck (1903-1988) na Argentina e no Brasil entre 1943 e 1988. A atuação de Beck deve ser compreendida como a de um catalisador de vocações no meio científico sul-americano. Para a redação deste trabalho, usamos principalmente o material -- cartas, manuscritos inéditos e artigos científicos--, que se encontra no Arquivo Guido Beck, localizado no Centro Brasileiro de Pesquisas Físicas, no Rio de Janeiro (RJ). Não comparamos às ações de Beck às de outros cientistas argentinos e brasileiros. Além disso, não procuramos contextualizar as atividades de Beck. 1 ) Entrevista de Guido Beck a Ciência Hoje, 1983.

De Portugal, onde havia passado os últimos 16 meses, Beck tentara sem sucesso conseguir a saída de sua mãe de uma prisão nazista, onde ela se encontrava confinada. Mesmo valendo-se do fato de aquele país ter se declarado neutro na Segunda Guerra Mundial, as tentativas para a libertação foram infrutíferas -- na época de sua chegada à Argentina, sua mãe era dada como desaparecida – e Beck nunca pôde saber com certeza o seu destino final.

  • Nuclear Weapons in Regional Contexts: the Cases of Argentina and Brazil
    Nuclear Weapons in Regional Contexts: The Cases of Argentina and Brazil# Olival Freire Junior Universidade Federal da Bahia, Brazil – [email protected] Diego Hurtado Universidad Nacional de San Martín, Argentina - [email protected] Ildeu C. Moreira Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - [email protected] Fernando de Souza Barros Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - [email protected] Abstract: South America is a region which is free from nuclear weapons. However, this was not an inevitable development from the relationships among its countries. Indeed, regional rivalries between Brazil and Argentina, with military implications for both countries, lasted a long time. After WWII these countries took part in the race to obtain nuclear technologies and nuclear ambitions were part of the game. In the mid 1980s, the end of military dictatorships and the successful establishing of democratic institutions put an end to the race. Thus regional and national interests in addition to the establishment of democracies in Latin America have been responsible for the building of trust between the two countries. Meaningful international initiatives are once again needed in the framework of worldwide cooperation. This cooperation is better developed when democratic regimes are in place. Keywords: Nuclear programs, Nuclear weapons, Brazil, Argentina # Paper to be published in Contemporánea, Montevideo. An earlier and short version of this paper was presented at the international conference “An Open World: Science, Technology and Society in the Light of Niels Bohr's Thoughts”, held in Copenhagen 4-6 December 2013. 1 Introduction South America is a region which is free from nuclear weapons.

  • David Bohm, the Hot Times of the Cold War, and His Struggle for a New Interpretation O
    1 Olival Freire Jr.∗ Science and exile: David Bohm, the hot times of the Cold War, and his struggle for a # new interpretation of quantum mechanics ABSTRACT: In the early 1950s the American physicist David Bohm (1917-1992) lived through a critical moment, when he produced a new interpretation for quantum mechanics and had to flee from the United States as McCarthyism’s victim. At that time he faced vicissitudes related to the Cold War and his move from Princeton to São Paulo. This article focuses on the reception among physicists of his papers on the causal interpretation, which were poorly received at the time. I describe his Brazilian exile and analyze the culture of physics surrounding the foundations of quantum mechanics. This article takes into account the strength of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum physics among physicists, the way in which issues concerning the foundations of quantum mechanics were present in the training of physicists, the low status of these issues on research agendas, and the kind of results Bohm and collaborators were able to achieve. It also compares the reception of Bohm’s ideas with that of Hugh Everett’s interpretation. This article argues that the obstacles growing from the cultural context of physics at that time had a more significant influence in the reception of Bohm’s ideas than did the vicissitudes related to the McCarthyist climate. WHEN DAVID BOHM and Richard Feynman concluded their physics dissertations, during the first half of the 1940s, they were among the most promising students of their generation in American physics.

  • The Emergence of Theoretical Physics in Argentina
    The emergence of theoretical physics in Argentina, Mathematics, mathematical physics and theoretical physics, 1900-1950 PoS(HRMS)030 Eduardo L. Ortiz Imperial College London SW7 2AZ, United Kingdom E-mail: e.ortiz@ imperial.ac.uk The emergence of studies on theoretical physics in Argentina prior to 1950, the year Héctor Rubinstein joined Buenos Aires University, is the topic of this paper. I first consider the impact in Argentina of philosophical ideas favorable to the promotion of experimental science, which emerged in the last two decades de the 19th century and reached physics towards 1900. Then, I make reference to the influence of changes in these philosophical perceptions in the late 1910 and early 1920s, which gave more emphasis to theoretical studies and, again, of their impact on physics. Finally, the emergence of research in theoretical physics around 1935-45 and its relation to previous advances in mathematics research is briefly considered. I also make reference to the impact of two scientific visitors to Argentina: first to Albert Einstein, who visited in 1925 and, fifteen years later, to George D. Birkhoff. The latter opened a wider channel of communication with the USA, which was developed further in the next decades. This paper ends with a brief reference to changes in the physics scene of Argentina in the early 1950s as a consequence of new institutional developments, and to the return of the universities to be the main seat of theoretical physics research, which began to happen in the second part of the 1950s.
