1989réf. HS-54Chicago Illinois: University of Chicago Press 1989. Comprehensive text presents a new history of the fundamental changes in optical theory at the beginning of the nineteenth century. In the physics of that period ether replaced the particle theory; in mathematics waves replaced rays. Buchwald reconstructs the first empirically successful theory of partial reflection originated by Etienne Louis Malus. He refutes the view of Thomas Young as champion of the wave theory arguing that the wave theory became coherent and new only in the work of French physicist Augustin Fresnel. Buchwald further demonstrates that even scientists who disgarded the particle theory retained its mathematical apparatus preventing their proper use of the new techniques. 474 pgs. Illustrated.

Fine In Fine Dust Jacket Priced $24.50. Laid In Loosely Is A Gift Card Signed By Wigner And Dated In 1965. Per Wikikpedia Eugene Paul Wigner 1902 - 1995 Was A Hungarian-American Theoretical Physicist Who Also Contributed To Mathematical Physics. He Received The Nobel Prize In Physics In 1963 "For His Contributions To The Theory Of The Atomic Nucleus And The Elementary Particles Particularly Through The Discovery And Application Of Fundamental Symmetry Principles". A Graduate Of The Technical Hochschule Berlin Now Technische Universität Berlin Wigner Worked As An Assistant To Karl Weissenberg And Richard Becker At The Kaiser Wilhelm Institute In Berlin And David Hilbert At The University Of Göttingen. Wigner And Hermann Weyl Were Responsible For Introducing Group Theory Into Physics Particularly The Theory Of Symmetry In Physics. Along The Way He Performed Ground-Breaking Work In Pure Mathematics In Which He Authored A Number Of Mathematical Theorems. In Particular Wigner's Theorem Is A Cornerstone In The Mathematical Formulation Of Quantum Mechanics. He Is Also Known For His Research Into The Structure Of The Atomic Nucleus. In 1930 Princeton University Recruited Wigner Along With John Von Neumann And He Moved To The United States Where He Obtained Citizenship In 1937. Wigner Participated In A Meeting With Leo Szilard And Albert Einstein That Resulted In The Einstein-Szilard Letter Which Prompted President Franklin D. Roosevelt To Authorize The Creation Of The Advisory Committee On Uranium With The Purpose Of Investigating The Feasibility Of Nuclear Weapons. Wigner Was Afraid That The German Nuclear Weapon Project Would Develop An Atomic Bomb First. During The Manhattan Project He Led A Team Whose Task Was To Design Nuclear Reactors To Convert Uranium Into Weapons Grade Plutonium. At The Time Reactors Existed Only On Paper And No Reactor Had Yet Gone Critical. Wigner Was Disappointed That Dupont Was Given Responsibility For The Detailed Design Of The Reactors Not Just Their Construction. He Became Director Of Research And Development At The Clinton Laboratory Now The Oak Ridge National Laboratory In Early 1946 But Became Frustrated With Bureaucratic Interference By The Atomic Energy Commission And Returned To Princeton. In The Postwar Period He Served On A Number Of Government Bodies Including The National Bureau Of Standards From 1947 To 1951 The Mathematics Panel Of The National Research Council From 1951 To 1954 The Physics Panel Of The National Science Foundation And The Influential General Advisory Committee Of The Atomic Energy Commission From 1952 To 1957 And Again From 1959 To 1964. In Later Life He Became More Philosophical And Published The Unreasonable Effectiveness Of Mathematics In The Natural Sciences His Best-Known Work Outside Technical Mathematics And Physics.

2020brossura Il più grande mistero di sempre, l'enigma del tempo, è stato come un quasar accecante per il creatore della Teoria della Relatività, Albert Einstein. In effetti, non v'è stato pensatore significativo, dall'antichità ai nostri giorni, che non abbia fatto del confronto con il mistero del tempo un momento essenziale del suo stesso filosofare. Già ai tempi di Plotino il problema del tempo era ritenuto "vecchio" e continuamente risollevato. Pensare il tempo è come arare il mare. Nonostante ciò il XX secolo ha conosciuto una definizione inedita e operazionale ad opera di Einstein, il quale spoglierà la nozione di tempo da ogni contenuto metafisico e lo renderà ontologicamente nullificabile. Ecco, dunque, il verdetto nella nostra epoca: «il tempo non esiste». Eppure non sono mancati i pensatori che hanno tentato di nuotare controcorrente lanciando un guanto di sfida al "cronicida", al demolitore dell'assoluto, indicando che il tempo non è un'illusione, il tempo è reale. Questi momenti da brivido vengono qui raccolti, rendendo vivo e attuale il volto filosofico di ogni dissidente. Esso interessa gli esperti del settore, ma anche ogni mente indagatrice della verità storica. Il lettore interessato alle idee fondamentali della fisica e della filosofia troverà qui soddisfazione. Così come troverà la radice ultima della nostra Weltanschaaung contemporanea.
