LANCZOS - EINSTEIN - PETIAU: From Dirac’s equation to nonlinear wave mechanics
In 1929 Lanczos showed how to derive Dirac’s equation from a more fundamental system that predicted that spin 1 2 particles should come in pairs. Today, these pairs can unambiguously be interpreted as isospin doublets. From the same fundamental equation Lanczos derived also the correct form of the wave equation of massive spin 1 particles that would be rediscovered by Proca in 1936. Lanczos’s f...
متن کاملCriticism from Homer to Aristotle
CRITICISM as an instinctive reaction to the performance of poetry is as old as song,” writes George Kennedy in beginning theCambridge History of Literary Criticism, and Kenneth Dover reminds readers of the Frogs that “in pre-literate cultures the composition of songs is a process in which discussion and criticism, often passionate, play an important part—and inevitably so, because aesthetic rea...
متن کاملCan you do quantum mechanics without Einstein?
The present form of quantum mechanics is based on the Copenhagen school of interpretation. Einstein did not belong to the Copenhagen school, because he did not believe in probabilistic interpretation of fundamental physical laws. This is the reason why we are still debating whether there is a more deterministic theory. One cause of this separation between Einstein and the Copenhagen school coul...
متن کاملFrom number theory to statistical mechanics: Bose–Einstein condensation in isolated traps
We question the validity of the grand canonical ensemble for the description of Bose–Einstein condensation of small ideal Bose gas samples in isolated harmonic traps. While the ground state fraction and the specific heat capacity can be well approximated with the help of the conventional grand canonical arguments, the calculation of the fluctuation of the number of particles contained in the co...
متن کاملTheories of the Nutrition of Plants from Aristotle to Liebig *
Aristotle' had taught that the food of plants, like that of animals, was not simple, but composed of various combinations of the four elements-Earth, Air, Fire and Water. Plants, however, unlike animals, did not have organs for rendering their food suitable to their purposes, but took in nutriment peculiarly adapted to them. "For plants get their food from the earth by means of their roots; and...
