History of Physics [sound recording], 2015 April 12.
Audio recording of session J5 of the April 2015 annual meeting of the American Physical Society, held in Baltimore, Maryland in April 2015. This session was chaired by Robert Crease, Stony Brook University. Talks (and speakers) include: "Impact of WWI on Relativity and Other Sciences" (Virginia Trimble); "Spin Dynamics of Kelvin's Pebbles, Jellett's Eggs, and Shiva's Lingam Stones" (Kenneth Brecher); "Anticipations of dark energy in the work of Schrodinger" (Paul Halpern); "The curios incident of Wheeler's delta-rays" (Dieter Brill). Topics discussed include World War I, relativity, International Astronomical Union, Karl Schwarzschild, Lord Kelvin, J. H. Jellett, rotational dynamics, Erwin Schrodinger, unified field theory, dark energy, John Wheeler, delta-rays.
This professional society of educators, industrial and government research workers, and students of physics and related fields, was established in 1899 to promote the advancement and diffusion of the knowledge of physics. It was a founding Member Society of the American Institute of Physics. The American Physical Society (APS) meetings are a forum for scientists to gather and share research results on a wide range of physics and physics-related topics.
