Who of us has not wondered about the striking differences between what Paul says regarding Abraham's justification in Romans 4:1–3 and what James says regarding Abraham's justification in James 2:21–24? Paul declares that Abraham, like all true believers, was justified by faith apart from works. For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law.… What then shall we sa...

The problem of the electromagnetic energy-momentum tensor is among the oldest and the most controversial in macroscopic electrodynamics. In the center of the issue is a dispute about the Minkowski and the Abraham tensors for moving media. An overview of the current situation is presented. After putting the discussion into a general Lagrange-Noether framework, the Minkowski tensor is recovered a...

A comprehensive description of the contributions of Averill A. Liebow to the field of pulmonary pathology would be a monumental task. In preparation for writing this addendum to Dr. Lindskog's tribute to Dr. Liebow, the comments and reflections of former students and colleagues were sought to appreciate the flavor of the man, the personality, and the drive which led to so productive a career. A...

The dilemma of identifying the correct form for the momentum of light in a medium has run for a century and has been informed by many distinguished contributions, both theoretical and experimental. We show that both the Abraham and Minkowski forms of the momentum density are correct, with the former being the kinetic momentum and the latter the canonical momentum. This identification allows us ...

London-born Dr. John de Sequeyra ( 17 12-1 795), who arrived in Virginia around 1745, was no ordinary newcomer to America. His distinguished family of Portuguese Jewish origin produced several noted physicians during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.' A descendant of the de Sequeyras who possesses and has access to extensive family records has provided some genealogical data.2 The first ...

We derive an expression for the Minkowski momentum under conditions of dispersive susceptibility and permeability, and compare it to the Abraham momentum in order to test the principle of conservation of linear momentum when matter is present. We investigate cases when an incident pulse interacts with a variety of structures, including thick substrates, resonant, free-standing, micron-sized mul...

Amin Ghaziani interviews journalist Amelia Abraham about focusing the world’s attention on queer, feminist, and human rights issues.

It is well-known that a classical point charge in 1+1 D hyperbolic motion in space and time is reaction-free. But this is a special case of a larger set of reaction-free trajectories that in general are curved paths through space, i.e. in 2+1 D. This note catalogs the full family of reaction-free trajectories, giving a geometrical interpretation by which means the curved path possibility is eas...
