Extractions: webmaster Sometimes technological innovation can come from the most unlikely sources. Samuel Finley Breese Morse was born in Charlestown, Massachusetts in 1791, the son of a local pastor. He was not trained as a scientist, but rather was a professional artist. Although largely an indifferent student, his interest was piqued by the then newly-developing subject of electricity. After graduating from Yale in 1810, he lived in England, studying art, exhibiting his work at the Royal Academy in 1813 and spending roughly 10 years as an itinerant artist specializing in portraiture, unaware that his passing interest in electromagnetism would eventually revolutionize global communication. The electric telegraph makes use of the relationship between magnetism and electricity. During the early 1790s, the Italian scientist Alessandro Volta invented an electrochemical cell that made a steady source of electric current available. In 1820, the Danish physicist Hans Christian Oersted discovered that an electric current will cause a magnetized needle to move. This principle is the basis of the telegraph, in which a current is varied systematically according to a code. [As a telegraph key is moved up and down, it makes or breaks an electric circuit and transmits a signal as a series of electric pulses.] In 1825 the British electrician William Sturgeon invented the electromagnet, and physicists William F. Cooke and Charles Wheatstone, working together in Great Britain, used this discovery to develop a rudimentary telegraph in 1837.

CONTRIBUTIONS OF 20TH CENTURY WOMEN TO PHYSICS
Some physics history. 500+ Books and Articles

Extractions: INTRODUCTION Presented here is an archive of data on 86 twentieth century women who have made original and important contributions to physics. The citations describe and document their major contributions and provide biographical information pertaining to the scientific lives of the women. A POSTER The archive is limited to citations of 20th century women whose contributions to physics were published before 1976. CLICK HERE TO SEARCH FOR NAMES OF WOMEN YOU KNOW There are women who are not cited whose contributions before 1976 qualify them to be included. It has not been possible, with the resources available to us, to reach completion in this sense. As in the history of most areas of human endeavor, in physics women are disappeared people. If this research project were to continue, there would be more women, known and unknown to us at present, with citations here.

http://www.physics.harvard.edu/history.html

Extractions: Department of Physics The Early Years In 1642, physics was a required course in Harvard College -but the text was by Aristotle. Physics at Harvard was advanced in 1726, when Thomas Hollis of London, England, endowed a professorship in "Mathematicks and Experimental Philosophy" and also donated a shipment of scientific apparatus. In 1738 the second occupant of the Hollis chair, John Winthrop, introduced his students to Newton's Principia although, from a surviving manuscript, it is not clear whether he completely grasped Newton's Laws. Still, he made history as one of the first American observers of astronomical phenomena, such as the transits of Venus. Count Rumford (originally Benjamin Thompson of Woburn, Massachusetts), who is said to have bootlegged physics courses at Harvard when still a poor boy, became one of the discoverers of the Law of Conservation of Energy, and left the endowment for the Rumford Professorship in 1814. Jefferson Laboratory soon proved too small for such an expanding research agenda. In 1915 Cruft Laboratory opened and, under the direction of George W. Pierce, soon became the home of radio communication engineering. The New Research Laboratory linking Jefferson and Cruft was added in 1931. It was renamed Lyman Laboratory in 1947. While experimental research flourished, theoretical physics was not neglected. Edwin C. Kemble, a graduate student of Bridgman, was one of the first Americans to work on quantum theory. He joined the faculty in 1919, and his first graduate student was John H. Van Vleck. Later faculty colleagues Kemble, Van Vleck and Wendell H. Furry made the theoretical wing of the department unusually strong. During 1922-1935 one third of all theoretical physics Ph.D.s in the U.S. were awarded to their own students, or their students' students.
Upheaval In Physics: History Of The Light-Speed Debate
From Personal Update. Upheaval in physics history of the LightSpeedDebate. by Helen D. Setterfield. bhs4light@baptistmail.com. Ed
http://www.ldolphin.org/cdk-helen.html

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: Engineering Physics Curriculum In 1938 a radically new academic curriculum was developed for engineering and physics students providing an equitable mix of traditional physics courses and select engineering courses. The University of Maine shares (with the University of Kansas) the national distinction of being one of the first such programs to be accredited by the Engineers Council of Professorial Development (ECPD) in 1949. The University of Maine Engineering Physics curriculum has maintained this accreditation for nearly a half century. We are currently one of only ten fully accredited programs in the nation.

Extractions: Math/Physics Library History The Math/Physics Library is located in Cardwell Hall and has been in that location since Cardwell Hall was completed in 1963. Prior to 1963, the collection formed part of the Chemistry and Physics Library located in Willard Hall. The Math/Physics Library contains over 20,000 volumes and currently receives roughly 300 serial titles. In a typical recent year, these two of the university's 65 departments brought in 2.9M research grant dollars to the university (with Physics Department grants constituting nearly 85% of the combined total). From these grant dollars, 1.24M+ dollars, which is roughly 34% of the university's total "overhead" budget, was generated. Additionally, the Mathematics Department has the highest number of student credit hours taught by any department at the university. The Math/Physics Library exists, in part, to provide direct information access/assistance so that physics and mathematics faculty members can continue to generate this high level of financial contribution to the university's non-legislatively appropriated budget and teaching contribution to the university's educational mission. visitor number since 6/27/00
