Green's matrix Influenced Lord Kelvin George Green (14 July 1793 – 31 May 1841) was a British mathematician and physicist , who wrote An Essay on the Application of Mathematical Analysis to the Theories of Electricity and Magnetism (Green, 1828). The essay introduced several important concepts, among them a theorem similar to the modern Green's theorem , the idea of potential functions as currently used in physics , and the concept of what are now called Green's functions . George Green was the first person to create a mathematical theory of electricity and magnetism and his theory formed the foundation for the work of other scientists such as James Clerk Maxwell William Thomson , and others. His work ran parallel to that of the great mathematician Gauss potential theory Green's life story is remarkable in that he was almost entirely self-taught. He was born and lived for most of his life in the English town of

Magnetic trapping When blood is cleared of its various corpuscles there remains a clear liquid, named "plasma" by the great Czech medical scientist, Johannes Purkinje (1787-1869). The use of the term "plasma" for an ionized gas started in 1927 with Irving Langmuir (1881-1957), an American whose achievements ranged from the chemistry of surfaces to cloud seeding for promoting rain, and who in 1932 won the Nobel prize for chemistry. Langmuir worked for the General Electric Co., studying electronic devices based on ionized gases, and the way the electrified fluid carried high velocity electrons, ions and impurities reminded him of the way blood plasma carried red and white corpuscles and germs. As a result of those studies, carried out on relatively cool and dense plasmas, scientists nowadays can talk of "Langmuir waves" and fly "Langmuir probes" aboard satellites. Gradually plasma research spread in other directions , of which three were particularly significant.

The APS in the Past and as of Today A Century of Discoveries in Physics Given that 1999 is the 100th anniversary of the APS and the last year of the second millennium, it is worth enumerating the seven great physics achievements of the 20th century, achievements that have transformed the way that humanity views the universe: The Unraveling of the Microscopic Constituents of Matter "It is the nature of the World that small things make up larger things and that even smaller things make up the small." From the Book of Subnuclear Physics of The Bible According to Einstein The concept of the atom had been hypothesized by Greeks two-and-half millennia ago. By the nineteenth century, the existence of atoms had been indirectly established. But the picture of the atom then was very different from that of today. In the nineteenth century, the atom was thought be a spherical blob of more-or-less uniform density. Nowadays, it is known that the atom possesses considerable structure: it consists of a tiny, heavy nucleus around which light-weight, negatively charged electrons swarm. The name atom, which means "indivisible," has become a misnomer the atom is not the most fundamental building block since it is constructed out of smaller units. Furthermore, the nucleus is composed of protons and neutrons, both of which weigh almost 2000 times the weight of an electron. As their names imply, the proton is positively charged while the neutron is neutral, having no electric charge. By the way, it was only in 1897 (two years before the founding of the American Physical Society) that the existence of the electron was established; previously, electricity was thought to be the flow of a liquid rather than of microscopic particles.

General Interest The Fall of Parity PML Physical Measurement Laboratory T he F all of P arity The Discovery that Parity is Not Conserved Between Christmas of 1956 and New Year's Day, the first exciting results emerged from a difficult but fundamental scientific experiment at the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) in Washington, DC [currently the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)]. The experiment showed, strikingly and convincingly, that in at least one fundamental physical process, our world is distinguishable from its mirror image. Physicists had long assumed the opposite. They constructed their theories so as to ensure that the corresponding mathematical property, called parity, remains unaltered - is conserved - in all subatomic processes. Thus this experiment brought about the fall of parity from its exalted position alongside such well conserved physical quantities as energy, momentum, and electric charge.

Other Disciplines The Early Years, 1891 through the 1930's The Middle 1930's through the 1960's Encouraged initially by Enrico Fermi to do experimental physics because, among other things, it was "fun," in 1938 Bloch (in collaboration with Luis Alvarez) made the first experimental measurement of the magnetic moment of the neutron, marking the beginning of the work for which he is perhaps best known. By the end of the Second World War, Bloch, working with Bill Hansen and Martin Packard, had succeeded in observing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in condensed matter by the method of nuclear induction. For these discoveries, and the discoveries made with this technique, Bloch shared the 1952 Nobel Prize in Physics with Harvard's Edward Purcell. It was Stanford's first Nobel Prize. NMR has since become the most important spectroscopic technique in chemistry and biology, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), an imaging technique based upon it, is considered the greatest advance in medical imaging since the discovery of X-rays in 1895.

59. Upheaval In Physics: History Of The Light-Speed Debate From Personal Update . Upheaval in Physics History of the LightSpeed Debate. by Helen D. Setterfield. The Barry Setterfield Library http://www.ldolphin.org/cdk-helen.html

From Personal Update Upheaval in Physics: History of the Light-Speed Debate by Helen D. Setterfield The Barry Setterfield Library Ed Note: We have been following Barry Setterfield's research on the speed of light since 1993. [1] It is interesting that both evolutionists and creation scientists can be blinded by their own presuppositions...] When we walk into a dark room, flip a switch and the light is instantly on, it seems that light has no speed but is somehow infinite - instantly there - and that was the majority opinion of scientists and philosophers until September 1676, when Danish astronomer Olaf Roemer announced to the Paris Academie des Sciences that the anomalous behavior of the eclipse times of Jupiter's inner moon, Io, could be accounted for by a finite speed of light. [2] His work and his report split the scientific community in half, involving strong opinions and discussions for the next fifty years. It was Bradley's independent confirmation of the finite speed of light, published January 1, 1729, which finally ended the opposition. [3] The speed of light was finite-incredibly fast, but finite. The following question was: "Is the speed of light constant?" Interestingly enough, every time it was measured over the next few hundred years, it seemed to be a little slower than before. This could be explained away, as the first measurements were unbelievably rough compared to the technical accuracy later. It was not that simple, though. When the same person did the same test using the same equipment at a later period in time, the speed was slower. Not much, but slower.

60. Quantum Mechanics History An overview of the development of quantum mechanics. http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/HistTopics/The_Quantum_age_begins.ht

A history of Quantum Mechanics Mathematical Physics index History Topics Index Version for printing It is hard to realise that the electron was only discovered a little over 100 years ago in 1897. That it was not expected is illustrated by a remark made by J J Thomson, the discoverer of the electron. He said I was told long afterwards by a distinguished physicist who had been present at my lecture that he thought I had been pulling their leg. The neutron was not discovered until 1932 so it is against this background that we trace the beginnings of quantum theory back to 1859. In 1859 Gustav Kirchhoff proved a theorem about blackbody radiation. A blackbody is an object that absorbs all the energy that falls upon it and, because it reflects no light, it would appear black to an observer. A blackbody is also a perfect emitter and Kirchhoff proved that the energy emitted E depends only on the temperature T and the frequency v of the emitted energy, i.e. E J T v He challenged physicists to find the function J In 1879 Josef Stefan proposed, on experimental grounds, that the total energy emitted by a hot body was proportional to the fourth power of the temperature. In the generality stated by
