Richard Chace Tolman 1881 -1948 Was An American Mathematical Physicist And Physical Chemist Who Made Many Contributions To Statistical Mechanics. He Also Made Important Contributions To Theoretical Cosmology In The Years Soon After Einstein's Discovery Of General Relativity. He Was A Professor Of Physical Chemistry And Mathematical Physics At The California Institute Of Technology Caltech. Tolman Studied Chemical Engineering At The Massachusetts Institute Of Technology Receiving His Bachelor's Degree In 1903 And Ph.D. In 1910 Under A. A. Noyes. In 1912 He Conceived Of The Concept Of Relativistic Mass Writing That "The Expression Is Best Suited For The Mass Of A Moving Body. In A 1916 Experiment With Thomas Dale Stewart Tolman Demonstrated That Electricity Consists Of Electrons Flowing Through A Metallic Conductor. A By-Product Of This Experiment Was A Measured Value Of The Mass Of The Electron.4 Overall However He Was Primarily Known As A Theorist.Tolman Was A Member Of The Technical Alliance In 1919 A Forerunner Of The Technocracy Movement Where He Helped Conduct An Energy Survey Analyzing The Possibility Of Applying Science To Social And Industrial Affairs.Tolman Was Elected A Fellow Of The American Academy Of Arts And Sciences In 1922. The Same Year He Joined The Faculty Of The California Institute Of Technology Where He Became Professor Of Physical Chemistry And Mathematical Physics And Later Dean Of The Graduate School. One Of Tolman's Early Students At Caltech Was The Theoretical Chemist Linus Pauling To Whom Tolman Taught The Old Quantum Theory.In 1927 Tolman Published A Text On Statistical Mechanics Whose Background Was The Old Quantum Theory Of Max Planck Niels Bohr And Arnold Sommerfeld.9 In 1938 He Published A New Detailed Work That Covered The Application Of Statistical Mechanics To Classical And Quantum Systems. It Was The Standard Work On The Subject For Many Years And Remains Of Interest Today.In The Later Years Of His Career Tolman Became Increasingly Interested In The Application Of Thermodynamics To Relativistic Systems And Cosmology. An Important Monograph He Published In 1934 Titled Relativity Thermodynamics And Cosmology12 Demonstrated How Black Body Radiation In An Expanding Universe Cools But Remains Thermal - A Key Pointer Toward The Properties Of The Cosmic Microwave Background.13 Also In This Monograph Tolman Was The First Person To Document And Explain How A Closed Universe Could Equal Zero Energy. He Explained How All Mass Energy Is Positive And All Gravitational Energy Is Negative And They Cancel Each Other Out Leading To A Universe Of Zero Energy.13 His Investigation Of The Oscillatory Universe Hypothesis Which Alexander Friedmann Had Proposed In 1922 Drew Attention To Difficulties As Regards Entropy And Resulted In Its Demise Until The Late 1960S. During World War Ii Tolman Served As Scientific Advisor To General Leslie Groves On The Manhattan Project. At The Time Of His Death In Pasadena He Was Chief Advisor To Bernard Baruch The U.S. Representative To The United Nations Atomic Energy Commission.Each Year The Southern California Section Of The American Chemical Society Honors Tolman By Awarding Its Tolman Medal "In Recognition Of Outstanding Contributions To Chemistry. Tolman's Brother Was The Behavioral Psychologist Edward Chace Tolman. Akademische Verlagsgesellschaft M. B. H. hardcover

Each Is A Photocopy Of The Article As Published Without Duplication And The Total Is Over 3" Thick.Mendel Sachs 1927 -2012 Was An American Theoretical Physicist. His Scientific Work Includes The Proposal Of A Unified Field Theory That Brings Together The Weak Force Strong Force Electromagnetism And Gravity. Sachs Earned His Bachelors At The University Of California Los Angeles He Then Moved To Columbia University New York For Postgraduate Study. While At Columbia Sachs Was Taught By Willis Lamb And Hideki Yukawa.5 Yukawa Had Agreed To Be Sach's Thesis Advisor But Sachs Decided To Complete His Doctorate Back At Ucla. Following The Award Of His Phd In 1954 Sachs First Post-Doctoral Position Was At The New University Of California Radiation Laboratory At Both Berkeley And Livermore Which Was Run By Edward Teller And Ernest Lawrence And Was Also Home To Bryce Dewitt Who Sachs Would Later Co-Author Articles With In Physics Today. In 1956 Sachs Became A Senior Scientist At Lockheed Missiles And Space Laboratory While At Lockheed Sachs Began Developing With Solomon Schwebel A Field Theory Of Quantum Electrodynamics That Included Broken Symmetries That Did Not Require Recourse To Renormalization Or Perturbation Techniques - The "Schwebel-Sachs" Model. In 1961 He Became A Research Professor At Mcgill University; This Was Followed By A Post As Associate Professor Of Physics At Boston University 1962-1966. In 1964 While At Boston University Sachs Received An Invitation From Paul Dirac To Visit Cambridge University. Sachs Stayed In England For Three Months Where His Wife Yetty Had Family. Sachs Worked With Paul Dirac At The Department Of Applied Mathematics And Theoretical Physics Cambridge University. While Working With Dirac Sachs Also Had The Opportunity To Discuss Ideas With John G. Taylor John Polkinghorne And Graduate Students At Damtp. In 1965 Sachs Had Had A Breakthrough While At The Aspen Physics Institute Colorado. Sachs Was Able To Derive A Result For A Unified Field Theory If Quantum Mechanics Was Considered To Be A Linear Approximation For A Field Theory Of Inertia Expressed In General Relativity. Sachs Argued That The Work Of Albert Einstein And Erwin Schrödinger In General Relativity Did Not Yet Take Account Of The Inertia Of Matter Which Required Consideration Of The Mach Principle. In The Summer Of 1966 Abdus Salam Invited Sachs To Spend A Few Months At The International Centre For Theoretical Physics In Trieste Italy. During This Time Sachs Published The Details Of His Formal Structure Of Quantum Mechanics From A Generally Covariant Field Theory Of Inertia In The Italian Journal Il Nuovo Cimento. In The Autumn Of 1966 He Was Appointed Professor Of Physics At State University Of New York At Buffalo. Various Publications 1963 - 2000 unknown
