  • The Stage Is Set
    The Stage Is Set: Developments before 1900 Leading to Practical Wireless Communication Darrel T. Emerson National Radio Astronomy Observatory1, 949 N. Cherry Avenue, Tucson, AZ 85721 In 1909, Guglielmo Marconi and Carl Ferdinand Braun were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics "in recognition of their contributions to the development of wireless telegraphy." In the Nobel Prize Presentation Speech by the President of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences [1], tribute was first paid to the earlier theorists and experimentalists. “It was Faraday with his unique penetrating power of mind, who first suspected a close connection between the phenomena of light and electricity, and it was Maxwell who transformed his bold concepts and thoughts into mathematical language, and finally, it was Hertz who through his classical experiments showed that the new ideas as to the nature of electricity and light had a real basis in fact.” These and many other scientists set the stage for the rapid development of wireless communication starting in the last decade of the 19th century. I. INTRODUCTION A key factor in the development of wireless communication, as opposed to pure research into the science of electromagnetic waves and phenomena, was simply the motivation to make it work. More than anyone else, Marconi was to provide that. However, for the possibility of wireless communication to be treated as a serious possibility in the first place and for it to be able to develop, there had to be an adequate theoretical and technological background. Electromagnetic theory, itself based on earlier experiment and theory, had to be sufficiently developed that 1.

  • Spiritualism and Sir Oliver Lodge
    Presented to the UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO LIBRARY by the ONTARIO LEGISLATIVE LIBRARY 1980 SPIRITUALISM AND SIR OLIVER LODGE PREFACE SIR OLIVER LODGE'S book Raymond was sent to me with a request that I would examine and review it. I found it impossible to do so. The sorrow of a bereaved mother is no fit matter for discussion by strangers in the public press. But the book revealed to me such an astounding mental attitude on the part of its author, that I sent for a previous work of his, The Survival of Man, to discover on what ground he, a professor of a certain branch of physical science, and the Principal of a University, speaking with the authority conferred by his occupancy of these positions, could make the assumptions that he does, and promulgate urbi et orbi such extraordinary doctrines. I have been engaged for some forty years in the study of the vagaries of the human mind in health and in disease, and am not easily surprised by witnessing new vagaries ; but I must confess that The Survival of Man did surprise me. Upon inquiry I found that the doctrines and prac- tices therein advocated have attained a very wide vogue. It may almost be said that they are become the rage. There is nothing very surprising in this, for the pursuit of the occult has for from time to time has ages prevailed ; its have spread and become fashionable ; pretensions been it to some exposed ; and has died down, only reappear years afterwards, when the exposure was forgotten.

  • Henry Handel Richardson, a Secret Life – by Dr Barbara Finlayson
    Henry Handel Richardson, a Secret Life – a talk given by Dr Barbara Finlayson at the Bendigo Philosopher’s Group on July 2, 2018 The background music are songs to which Henry Handel Richardson (HHR mainly from now on) wrote the music, some whilst she was at school, others as a music student at Leipzig. That she wrote music is not well known as was her deep involvement in Spiritualism, the subject of my talk. Firstly though, I shall give a very, very, potted summary about this author Henry Handel Richardson, the nom de plume of Ethel Florence Lindesay Richardson. She was born on the 3rd January 1870 in East Melbourne, the eldest daughter of Dr Walter Richardson and his wife Mary. The family lived in various Victorian towns, as well as Melbourne itself during HHR’s childhood and youth. These included Chiltern, Queenscliff, Koroit, and Maldon after her father’s death. Her mother took the family to Europe in 1888 to enable HHR and her sister Lill to continue her musical studies at the Leipzig Conservatorium. HHR married George Robertson who became chair at the University of London and they moved to that city 1903. She published her first novel, Maurice Guest in 1908 and that is when she adopted her pseudonym. (I have included a list of her writing in the hand out.) The best known are The Getting of Wisdom and The Fortunes of Richard Mahony. She died in 1946, aged 76. In Dorothy Green’s book about Henry Handel Richardson, Ulysses Bound, she said, ‘Richardson’s life-long adherence to Spiritualism is a fact which has largely been ignored.’ This book was first published in 1973, and HHR’s involvement in Spiritualism was largely ignored until 1996 when 2 events occurred.

Langley managed to instil in Adams his ‘scientific passion for doubt’ which undoubtedly included Langley’s sceptical view that all laws of nature were mere hypotheses and reflections of the limited and changing human perspective on the cosmos.1 Langley also pressed into the hands of his charge several works challenging the supposedly robust laws of ‘modern’ physics.2 These included the notorious critiques of mechanics, J. B. Stallo’s Concepts and Theories of Modern Physics (1881) [AND] Karl Pearson’s Grammar of Science (1892), and several recent numbers of the Smithsonian Institution’s

    SPIRITUALISM AND IMMORTALITY j. M. SHAW Professor of Systematic Theology, Pine Hill College N a recent widely-read book entitled The Road to Endor I an intensely interesting account is given of how two British officers won their way to freedom from a Turkish prisoner-of-war camp by the use of methods usually described as "spiritualistic." The attitude of the author towards the phenomena so described may already be guessed from the title of his work, borrowed as it is from Mr. Rudyard Kipling's satiric lines: Oh, the road to En-dor is the oldest road And the craziest road of all ! Straight it runs to the Witch's abode, AB it did in the days of Saul, And nothing is changed of the sorrow in store For such as go down on the road to En-dor!- It is thus explicitly set forth in the Preface (p. ix): "If this book saves one widow from lightly trusting the exponents of a creed that is crass and vulgar and in truth nothing better than a confused materialism, or one bereaved mother from preferring the unwhole­ some excitement of the seance and the trivial babble of a hired trickster to the healing power of moral and religious reflection on the truths that give to human life its stability and worth, then the miseries and sufferings through which we passed in our struggle for freedom will indeed have had a most ample reward." I On the other hand, in an even more widely-read publication of a year or two earlier the distinguished author excuses himself in his Preface for his seeming obtrusion of private family affairs and revelations upon the attention of the general public, on the ground of the comfort the facts narrated are calculated to afford to those who like himself have suffered bereavement through the Great War.

A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Masters in History by Brian Edmund Glenney December, 2009 Accepted by: Dr. Michael Silvestri, Committee Chair Dr. Alan Grubb Dr. Megan Taylor Shockley i ABSTRACT This thesis looks at the spiritualist weekly Light through Late Victorian, Edwardian, and World War I Britain. Light has never received any extended coverage or historical treatment yet it was one of the major spiritualist newspapers during this part of British history. This thesis diagrams the lives of Light ’s first four major editors from 1881 till the end of World War I and their views on the growth of science, God, Christ, evolution, and morality. By focusing on one major spiritualist newspaper from 1881 till 1920, this thesis attempts to bridge the gap in spiritualist historiography that marks World War I as a stopping or starting point.

  • Jagadish Chandra Bose: the Physicist Who Was Forgotten
    ARTICLE JAGADISH CHANDRA BOSE: THE PHYSICIST WHO WAS FORGOTTEN D. P. SENGUPTA* This paper touches upon the exposure Jagadish Chandra had with the leaders of science in Cambridge, his joining Presidency College, Calcutta ,his initiation and researches as a physicist, before he switched over to become one of the leading Plant electro-physiologists. Contrary to popular belief, the objective of Bose was to establish experimentally Maxwell’s theory of Electromagnetic wave propagation for short waves rather than explore the commercial aspects of wireless signal transmission. A cursory glance is made at the history of electromagnetism that led to Maxwell’s Electromagnetic theory. Jagadish Chandra’s extraordinary intuition and skill in instrumentation carried out in the most primitive and ill equipped laboratory conditions, led to the production of equipment some of which is still used in modern communication. In this attempt, he turned out to be the first person to produce, transmit and receive millimeter waves that are used for much of today’s mass communication. Unknown to most, he anticipated the first semiconductor, the seed of today’s computer and electronic revolution. Caught in the transition of classical to modern Physics he decided to change track and was forgotten as a physicist that he was, only to be remembered sixty years later to have been the first one to produce millimeter waves and anticipate semiconductors. agadish Chandra Bose found himself in the right place Jagadish completed his Tripos in Natural Sciences, at the right time. After his studies at St. Xavier’s Physics, Chemistry and Botany. He also obtained a degree JCollege under Father Lafont, he set off for England from London University.

    Special Section on Sir J.C. Bose 160th Anniversary Celebration Presentations 1858-1937 Sir J.C. Bose 160th Anniversary Celebration on 17th Feb 2019 at Bangalore IEEE India Info. Vol. 14 No. 2 Apr - Jun 2019 Page 41 Guest Editor Message Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose is a physicist, biologist, biophysicist, botanist and archaeologist. He pioneered plant science, and laid the foundations of experimental science in the Indian subcontinent. He proved by experimentation that both animals and plants share much in common. He demonstrated that plants are also sensitive to heat, cold, light, noise and various other external stimuli. It is widely considered that J.C. Bose was at least 60 years ahead of his time. In 1895, Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose first demonstrated in Presidency College, Calcutta, India, transmission and reception of electromagnetic waves at 60 GHz, over 23 meters distance, through two intervening walls by remotely ringing a bell and detonating gunpowder. For his communication system, Bose pioneered in development of entire millimeter-wave components like a spark-gap transmitter, coherer, dielectric lens, polarizer, horn antenna, and cylindrical diffraction grating. This is the first millimeter-wave communication system in the world, developed about 125 years ago. This is the oldest Milestone achievement from the Asian continent. Bose's experimental work on millimeter-band microwave radio was commemorated as an IEEE Milestone on 14th September 2012 and a plaque in this regard may be viewed in the main corridor of the Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose Auditorium in the Main Building of Presidency College, Kolkata, India. IEEE celebrated the 160th anniversary of Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose by reflecting on his life and works through eminent speakers compassionately projecting his work to 150 plus IEEE members and engineers on Sunday, 17th February 2019 at the landmark World Trade Center Auditorium in Bengaluru, India.

  • The History Spiritualism
    THE HISTORY of SPIRITUALISM by ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE, M.D., LL.D. former President d'Honneur de la Fédération Spirite Internationale, President of the London Spiritualist Alliance, and President of the British College of Psychic Science Volume Two With Eight Plates Sir Arthur Conon Doyle CHAPTER I THE CAREER OF EUSAPIA PALLADINO The mediumship of Eusapia Palladino marks an important stage in the history of psychical research, because she was the first medium for physical phenomena to be examined by a large number of eminent men of science. The chief manifestations that occurred with her were the movement of objects without contact, the levitation of a table and other objects, the levitation of the medium, the appearance of materialized hands and faces, lights, and the playing of musical instruments without human contact. All these phenomena took place, as we have seen, at a much earlier date with the medium D. D. Home, but when Sir William Crookes invited his scientific brethren to come and examine them they declined. Now for the first time these strange facts were the subject of prolonged investigation by men of European reputation. Needless to say, these experimenters were at first sceptical in the highest degree, and so-called ‘tests’ (those often silly precautions which may defeat the very object aimed at) were the order of the day. No medium in the whole world has been more rigidly tested than this one, and since she was able to convince the vast majority of her sitters, it is clear that her mediumship was of no ordinary type.

  • Oliver Lodge
    introduction OLIVER LODGE CONTINUITY AND COMMUNICATION James Mussell and Graeme Gooday It may be felt in any single page of Forbes’s writing, or De Saussure’s [or Tyndall’s either], that they love crag and glacier for their own sake’s sake; that they question their secrets in reverent and solemn thirst: not at all that they may communicate them at breakfast to the readers of the Daily News— and that, although there were no news, no institutions, no leading articles, no medals, no money, and no mob in the world, these men would still labour, and be glad, though all their knowledge was to rest with them at last in the silence of the snows, or only to be taught to peasant children sitting in the shade of the pines. John Ruskin, quoted by Oliver Lodge, Past Years OLIVER LODGE quotes the English art critic and intellectual John Ruskin in the penultimate chapter of his memoir Past Years (1931). Titled “Scientific Retro- spect,” this chapter is a version of a talk Lodge delivered at the fiftieth anniversary of the Physical and Chemical Society at University College, London (UCL) in 1926. After reviewing the progress of science since the society’s foundation in 1876, Lodge promoted a model of natural science as a disinterested enterprise carried out for its own sake rather than for personal gain. This view of science as a “pure” intellectual study drew upon a tradition deriving from Ruskin’s position in a major geological controversy nearly a century before the publication of Past Years and involved Lodge’s early inspiration for physics, John Tyndall.
