This Month in the History of Astronomy April Birthdays Apr 2, 1889 - Harvard Obs.'s 13" refractor arrives on Mt. Wilson, a month later beginning a long astronomical legacy at this site which housed the largest telescopes in the world from 1908-48: the 60" for the first decade followed by the 100". This latter mirror is still the largest solid ever cast in plate glass; weighing 4 1/2 tons it's just 13 inches thick. Apr 7, 1991 - The Gamma Ray Obs. (GRO) was deployed. Apr 11, 1862 - William Wallace Campbell, pioneer observer of stellar motions and radial velocities; director of Lick Obs. from 1901 to 1930, he also served as president of the Univ. of Calif. and the Nat`l Academy of Sciences. Apr 11, 1901 - Donald H. Menzel. Apr 14, 1629 - Christian Huygens, Dutch scientist and one of the preeminent scientists of the 17th century. Besides developing a theory of light and getting the first patent for a pendulum clock, Huygens was the first to discern Saturn's rings and he also discovered Saturn's largest satellite, Titan. (See the 25th of last month Apr 22, 1891 - Sir Harold Jeffreys, astrogeophysicist and the first to hypothesize the Earth's liquid core; Jeffreys also made contributions to our understanding of tidal friction, nutation, general planetary structure, and the origin of the solar system.

85. WU Libraries: Edwin T. Jaynes, 1922-1998 John's College, Cambridge University, the home of one of his intellectual heros,sir harold jeffreys. Following a heart attack, Ed retired in 1992. http://library.wustl.edu/units/spec/exhibits/crow/jaynesbio.html

Edwin T. Jaynes, 1922-1998 Edwin Thompson Jaynes, an innovative figure in many fundamental aspects of theoretical physics, died on April 30, 1998 in St. Louis, Missouri. Ed spent the next decade at Stanford in the Microwave Laboratory and the Department of Physics. In 1960 he accepted a senior faculty appointment at Washington University, St. Louis, where, with few interruptions, he remained for the rest of his life. Jaynes became Wayman Crow Professor of Physics in 1975. He spent productive sabbatical years at the University of Wyoming and at St. John's College, Cambridge University, the home of one of his intellectual heros, Sir Harold Jeffreys. Following a heart attack, Ed retired in 1992. As his health allowed, he continued to work toward the completion of several books and manuscripts. For a time he also continued his engagement with conference series in probability theory and statistical methods, where he was in great demand as a speaker. Ed's searching mind ranged widely over many disciplines within and outside physics. However, his major contributions lie essentially in four areas: applied classical electrodynamics; information theory and statistical mechanics; quantum optics and neoclassical radiation theory; and probability theory and statistical inference. Much of this work was controversial and in some cases remains so today. All of it has the mark of an extraordinary intellect seeking new foundations for our understanding of nature. In 1957 Ed published his first two papers interpreting statistical mechanics in terms of information theory. The Gibbs probability distribution was derived from a principle of maximum entropy subject to constraints representing prior knowledge. Statistical mechanics was thus viewed as a form of statistical inference based partial information, rather than a physical theory. Published by

87. Orígenes De Los Océanos, Los Continentes, Los Temblores Y Los Translate this page a 1965 se gestó una generación de geofísicos empapados en las enseñanzas deGutenberg y de su gran rival británico sir harold jeffreys, alto, desgarbado http://www.ssn.unam.mx/SSN/Doc/Revista/cinna.htm

Orígenes de los océanos, los continentes, los temblores y los geofísicos Cinna Lomnitz Afortunadamente (o quizás desafortunadamente) no tengo mayores correcciones que aportar a este artículo. Los hallazgos de la tectónica de placas, que entonces tenían apenas tres años desde su publicación en el Journal of Geophysical Research, hoy son venerables verdades. La oposición ha sido acallada y sus escasos sobrevivientes se deslizan cabizbajos por los pasillos de oscuras universidades. La tectónica de placas fue una auténtica revolución científica que ha cambiado fundamentalmente el enfoque de las ciencias de la tierra. ¿Cuáles han sido los cambios más notables desde entonces? El Dr Frank Press, entonces asesor científico del presidente Carter, Hoy es Presidente de la Academia de Ciencias de Estados Unidos. El Dr Lysenko, gracias a la generosa labor histórica de Roy Medvedev, hoy aparece como una figura trágicamente equivocada pero menos malvada de lo que suponíamos. Hitler seguirá siendo Hitler, y su idea de la tierra tan hueca como sus otras ideas. En lo personal, puedo decir que mi entusiasmo por la geofísica no ha disminuido. Es verdad que la euforia por los nuevos hallazgos fue seguida por una "cruda" de varios años. Muchos fueron los que se subieron al carro triunfal de la nueva teoría para ser vistos y aplaudidos. Otros, como el brillante Dan McKenzie, resbalaron en la cáscara de plátano de la política académica y regresaron a la relativa oscuridad de sus laboratorios. Hoy ha surgido una nueva generación de geofísicos para quienes el mundo fue creado en 1967 y que desconocen todo lo que se hizo antes de la Tectónica de Placas. La computadora ha acelerado la producción científica; la gente ya no va a los congresos científicos a discutir ideas sino a vender propuestas.

Thomas Bell BE ll and RO Thomas Bell started in his own right in small premises in the yard of the Black Boy Hotel adjoining the Groat Market in the centre of Newcastle in about 1875 Thomas Bell and Son Limited were incorporated on 10 November 1908 with a nominal capital of £20,000 and they then moved into larger premises in Low Friar Street. In 1911, the company purchased larger premises in Bath Lane. Thomas Bell died in 1925 and his son Robert then ran the company, which continued to expand to cover Carlisle and the whole of Co. Durham as well as Teeside. Depots were later built at Leeds, Edinburgh, Sheffield, and Birmingham and in 1931, they had decided upon Nottingham as a base to expand into the Midlands. The company continued its expansion by acquiring McDougals eventually they were taken over by Rank and became Rank Hovis McDougal. In 1923, they sold the first of over 32 million copies of the BE-RO recipe book. Harold Jeffreys Emily Wilding Davison Longhorsley today HOME

91. 2 + 2 = 5 The following conversation at the Trinity High Table is recorded in SirHarold jeffreys' Scientific Inference, in a note to chapter one. http://www.kfunigraz.ac.at/imawww/pages/humor/twoandtwo.html

Humor in der Mathematik Prev Index Next The History of 2 + 2 = 5 by Houston Euler "First and above all he was a logician. At least thirty-five years of the half-century or so of his existence had been devoted exclusively to proving that two and two always equal four, except in unusual cases, where they equal three or five, as the case may be." Jacques Futrelle, "The Problem of Cell 13" Most mathematicians are familiar with or have at least seen references in the literature to the equation 2 + 2 = 4. However, the less well known equation 2 + 2 = 5 also has a rich, complex history behind it. Like any other complex quantitiy, this history has a real part and an imaginary part; we shall deal exclusively with the latter here. Many cultures, in their early mathematical development, discovered the equation 2 + 2 = 5. For example, consider the Bolb tribe, descended from the Incas of South America. The Bolbs counted by tying knots in ropes. They quickly realized that when a 2-knot rope is put together with another 2-knot rope, a 5-knot rope results. Recent findings indicate that the Pythagorean Brotherhood discovered a proof that 2 + 2 = 5, but the proof never got written up. Contrary to what one might expect, the proof's nonappearance was not caused by a cover-up such as the Pythagoreans attempted with the irrationality of the square root of two. Rather, they simply could not pay for the necessary scribe service. They had lost their grant money due to the protests of an oxen-rights activist who objected to the Brotherhood's method of celebrating the discovery of theorems. Thus it was that only the equation 2 + 2 = 4 was used in Euclid's "Elements," and nothing more was heard of 2 + 2 = 5 for several centuries.
