He Was A Logical Positivist And A Member Of The Vienna Circle. He Was Influenced By Mach And Was One Of The Machists Criticised By Lenin In Materialism And Empirio-Criticism. He Studied Physics At The University Of Vienna And Graduated In 1907 With A Thesis In Theoretical Physics Under The Supervision Of Ludwig Boltzmann. He Joined The Faculty There In 1910. Albert Einstein Recommended Him As His Successor For A Professorship At The German Charles-Ferdinand University Of Prague A Position Which He Held From 1912 Until 1938. Doctoral Students Included Reinhold Furth And Peter Bergmann. In 1938 He Was Invited By Harvard University To America As A Visiting Lecturer On Quantum Theory And The Philosophy Of Modern Physics. The Germans Having Invaded Czechoslovakia As He Was About To Begin His Scheduled Lecture Tour Frank A Jew Never Returned To His Position At Prague. And Instead Became A Lecturer On Physics And Mathematics At Harvard From That Year Until His Retirement In 1954. In 1947 He Founded The Institute For The Unity Of Science As Part Of The American Academy Of Arts And Sciences Aaas. This Arose After Howard Mumford Jones Then President Of The Aaas Had Issued A Call To Overcome The Fractionalization Of Knowledge Which He Felt The Aaas Well Suited To Address. The Institute Held Regular Meetings Attracting A Broad Range Of Participants. Quine Regarded The Organisation As A "Vienna Circle In Exile". Politically Frank Was A Socialist. Astronomer Halton Arp Described Frank's Philosophy Of Science Class At Harvard As Being His Favorite Elective.His Younger Brother Josef Frank Was A Noted Architect And Designer.

Per Wikipedia Sir James Hopwood Jeans Om Frs 1877 - 1946 Was An English Physicist Mathematician And An Astronomer. He Served As A Secretary Of The Royal Society From 1919 To 1929 And Was The President Of The Royal Astronomical Society From 1925 To 1927 And Won Its Gold Medal.Jeans Was Elected Fellow Of Trinity College In October 1901 And Taught At Cambridge But Went To Princeton University In 1904 As A Professor Of Applied Mathematics. He Returned To Cambridge In 1910. From 1923 To 1944 He Was Associated With Caltech's Mount Wilson Observatory. He Made Important Contributions In Many Areas Of Physics Including Quantum Theory The Theory Of Radiation And Stellar Evolution. Jeans Along With Arthur Eddington Is A Founder Of British Cosmology. His Scientific Reputation Is Grounded In The Monographs The Dynamical Theory Of Gases 1904 Theoretical Mechanics 1906 And Mathematical Theory Of Electricity And Magnetism 1908. After Retiring In 1929 He Wrote A Number Of Books For The Lay Public. One Of Jeans's Major Discoveries Named The Jeans Length Is A Critical Radius Of An Interstellar Cloud In Space. It Depends On The Temperature And Density Of The Cloud And The Mass Of The Particles Composing The Cloud. A Cloud That Is Smaller Than Its Jeans Length Will Not Have Sufficient Gravity To Overcome The Repulsive Gas Pressure Forces And Condense To Form A Star Whereas A Cloud That Is Larger Than Its Jeans Length Will Collapse. Jeans Came Up With Another Version Of This Equation Called The Jeans Mass Or The Jeans Instability That Solves For The Critical Mass A Cloud Must Attain Before Being Able To Collapse. Jeans Also Helped To Discover The Rayleigh-Jeans Law Which Relates The Energy Density Of Black-Body Radiation To The Temperature Of The Emission Source. Jeans Is Also Credited With Calculating The Rate Of Atmospheric Escape From A Planet Due To Kinetic Energy Of The Gas Molecules A Process Known As Jeans Escape. The Macmillan Company hardcover
