Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Electron Theory of Matter His book is based on a course of lectures which I have delivered to graduate students at Princeton University during the last few years. My aim has been to exhibit the extent to which the fundamental facts of physical science may be coordinated by means of the conception of the electron and the laws of electrodynamics. In developing the subject I have started from the most elementary beginnings, and I have therefore found it necessary to include much matter which is to be found in any ordinary text-book of the theory of electricity and magnetism. It is hoped that the lack of conciseness thereby involved may be more than atoned for by the wider circle to which the book may appeal. The course of lectures at Princeton on which the book is founded proved useful as an introduction to the methods of modern mathematical physics in addition to forming a presentation of the results of recent physical discovery. The broad scope of the subject makes it imperative that a good deal of selection should be exercised as to the nature and treatment of the topics considered. In determining these, consideration has been given to importance, interest, and instructiveness, roughly in the order named. The necessary incompleteness is remedied to some extent by references to scientific papers and to other works. These references are intended to supplement the discussion in the text rather than to exhibit the historical development of the subject. Thus many important papers are not referred to. I have tried, however, to be as accurate as possible in any statements which deal specifically with historical matters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Electron Theory: A Popular Introduction to the New Theory of Electricity and Magnetism It was about sixty years ago when there appeared the first glimmerings Of the knowledge which has since ripened into that which we now possess, that neither the molecules of any natural object nor the parts Of which those molecules consist are ever at rest; that, on the contrary, swift and orderly movements are ever in progress among them and within them; and that where bodies appear to us to be stationary, it is only be cause this great internal activity is on too small a scale, the parts moving too tiny, and the motions subject to too rapid changes Of direction for senses like ours even when assisted by the micro scope to Obtain any suggestion that all this activity is going forwards. Accordingly, until other means than direct Observation of arriving at the truth were discovered, every one remained under the delusion that the Objects about us on the earth could be brought to rest absolutely freed from every motion except the celestial motion, which is consequent upon their being on a planet which rotates upon an axis, revolves in an orbit round the sun, and accompanies the solar system in its peregrinations through space.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Corpuscular Theory of Matter In Chapter VII. I give reasons for thinking that the number of corpuscles in an atom of an element is not greatly in excess of the atomic weight of the element, thus in particular that the number of corpuscles in an atom of hydrogen is not large. Some writers seem to think that this makes the conception of the model atom more difficult. I am unable to follow this view; it seems to me to make the conception easier, since it makes the number of possible atoms much more nearly equal to the number of the chemical elements. It has, however, an important bearing on our conception of the origin of the mass of the atom, as if the number of corpuscles in the atom is of the same order as the atomic weight we cannot regard the mass of an atom as mainly or even appreciably due to the mass of the corpuscles. I am indebted to Mr. G. W. C. Kave for assisting in revising the proof sheets. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Theory of Light and Matter written by Andrew Porter and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2010-09-20 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These ten short stories explore loss and sacrifice in American suburbia. In idyllic suburbs across the country, from Philadelphia to San Francisco, narrators struggle to find meaning or value in their lives because of (or in spite of) something that has happened in their pasts. In "Hole," a young man reconstructs the memory of his childhood friend's deadly fall. In "The Theory of Light and Matter," a woman second-guesses her choice between a soul mate and a comfortable one. Memories erode as Porter's characters struggle to determine what has happened to their loved ones and whether they are responsible. Children and teenagers carry heavy burdens in these stories: in "River Dog" the narrator cannot fully remember a drunken party where he suspects his older brother assaulted a classmate; in "Azul" a childless couple, craving the affection of an exchange student, fails to set the boundaries that would keep him safe; and in "Departure" a suburban teenage boy fascinated with the Amish makes a futile attempt to date a girl he can never be close to. Memory often replaces absence in these stories as characters reconstruct the events of their pasts in an attempt to understand what they have chosen to keep. These struggles lead to an array of secretive and escapist behavior as the characters, united by middle-class social pressures, try to maintain a sense of order in their lives. Drawing on the tradition of John Cheever, these stories recall and revisit the landscape of American suburbia through the lens of a new generation.
Download or read book Electrons Or the Nature and Properties of Negative Electricity Classic Reprint written by Sir Oliver Lodge and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electrons, or the Nature and Properties of Negative Electricity In 1902 I was asked by the President of the Institution of Electrical Engineers to give to that body a discourse on recent progress towards knowledge of the nature of Electricity, especially concerning its discontinuous or atomic structure. This discourse, greatly extended, appeared in Vol. 32 of the Journal of the Institution, and constitutes the nucleus of the present book. Many additions have now been made, and some of the difficulties recently promulgated concerning the possibility of an electric theory of matter are touched upon. They are of date too recent to have been mentioned even in my "Romanes Lecture" before the University of Oxford, published under the title Modern Views of Matter by the Clarendon Press. The most important addition is a more detailed account of the proof of the purely electrical nature of the mass or inertia of an electron: an investigation generally associated on the experimental side with the name of Kaufmann, but of course based on the work of many predecessors and contemporaries.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Knowledge: A Popular Account of the New Physics and the New Chemistry in Their Relation to the New Theory of Matter Their work consists of facts experimentally obtained and theories based upon these facts. Their statements of fact may, emphatically, be believed, and I trust that I have not trifled with them. Their theories are as they would have them - acceptable so long as they explain the phenomena Observed. As these theories are presented in this book, they cannot be said to rest upon any definite concensus Of scientific opinion. The science is too new. Each theory is, rather, the work Of some one man who is entitled to speak as the authority paramount on that particular sub ject. I have taken them as so many defensible theses and have presented them as clearly and forcibly as I might.
