Hans Ertel and cosmology

This paper deals with Hans Ertel's contribution to fundamental cosmological problems and with the irrelerance to geophysics. Ertl's studies arc related to Einstein's relativistic physics, Eddington's large numbers in cosmology, and to other problems.     

A Conversation with Hans Bethe

A Nobel laureate in physics speaks candidly about C.C. Lauritsen, Robert Millikan, and a number of other prominent physicists he has known and worked with at Cornell University, the California Institute of Technology, and the University of Rome. Bethe also describes his first impressions of nuclear physics, the political climate in Italy in the 1930s, and the Rome school of physics.     

Hans Bethe, My Teacher

I sketch my experiences with Hans Bethe (1906–2005) as a teacher at Cornell University, beginning with my doctoral studies in 1961 and continuing with my work with him on a quantum-mechanics textbook. Hans Bethe, My Teacher: Based on my talk at the Bethe Memorial,Aspen Center for Physics,Aspen,CO, in August 2006. Roman Jackiw: Roman Jackiw is Jerrold Zacharias Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Writing the Biography of Hans Bethe: Contextual History and Paul Forman1

Some facets of the life of Hans Bethe after World War II are presented to illustrate how Paul Forman’s works, and in particular his various theses—on mathematics and physics in Wilhelmine and Weimar Germany, on physics in the immediate post-World War II period, and on postmodernity—have influenced my biography of Bethe. Some aspects of the history of post-World War II quantum field theory, of solid state/condensed matter physics, and of the development of neoliberalism—the commitment to the belief that the market knows best, to free trade, to enhanced privatization, and to a drastic reduction of the government’s role in regulating the economy—are reviewed in order to make some observations regarding certain “top-down” views in solid state physics in postmodernity, the economic and cultural condition of many Western societies since the 1980s, the decade in which many historians assume modernity to have ended.
