Book excerpt: Die vorliegende Briefsammlungenthalt BriefevonundanWolfgangPauliwahrend der Zeitspanne 1919 bis 1929. Viele Autoren haben diese Zeit mit Recht als die "goldene Periode der Physik"betrachtet. Bis zu dieser Zeithatten die Physiker eine ungeheure Menge von Fakten iiber die Eigenschaften der Atome angesammelt, insbesondere in den Resultaten der Spektralanalyse. AIle diese Resultate wider sprachen den Erwartungen der klassischen Physik. Zwar war das Bohrsche Atommodell, erganzt durch die Betrachtungen Sommerfelds, wohl im Stande, einige dieser Tatsachen zu beschreiben, solange es sich urn die einfachsten Atome handelte, in denen man bloB die Bewegung eines Elektrons in Betracht zu ziehen hatte, wie in Wasserstoffatomen oder in den Alkaliatomen. In allen Mehr Elektronensystemen und in den Fragen der Feinstruktur der Spektrallinien versagte aber dieses Modell vollig, und selbst in den Einzel-Elektron-Problemen erschienen die Grundlagen des Modells als plausible, aber willkiirliche Annahmen. Dan·n kam die Quantenmechanik und anderte alles mit einem Schlag. Die Ratsel waren gelost, das Verhalten der Atome konnte mit eindeutigen und logischen Mitteln erklart und im Prinzip berechnet werden. Selten, vielleicht noch nie in der Geistesgeschichte, haben so wenig Leute soviel in so kurzer Zeit geleistet. Innerhalb weniger Jahre, von 1925 bis 1928, waren die Prinzipien festgelegt, auf denen die Spezifitat und die Stabilitat der Atome beruhen; es wurden die Grundlagen der chemischen Bindung aufgedeckt und ebenso die Grundlagen der Struktur der Metalle und anderer Festkorper. Alles fiigte sich zusammen in ein logisches Gebaude, das auf ganz neuartigen Ideen beruhte, die den Grundideen der klassischen Physik in revolutionarer Weise widersprachen.

Book Deciphering the Cosmic Number

Download or read book Deciphering the Cosmic Number written by Arthur I Miller and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2009-03-24 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The extraordinary story of psychoanalyst Carl Jung and physicist Wolfgang Pauli and their struggle to quantify the unconscious. In 1932, the groundbreaking physicist Wolfgang Pauli met the famous psychoanalyst Carl Jung. Pauli was fascinated by the inner reaches of his own psyche and not afraid to dabble in the occult, while Jung looked to science for answers to the psychological questions that tormented him. Their rich friendship led them, in Jung’s words, into “the no-man’s land between physics and the psychology of the unconscious . . . the most fascinating yet the darkest hunting ground of our times.” Both were obsessed with the far-reaching significance of the number “137”—a primal number that seemed to hint at the origins of the universe itself. Their quest to solve its enigma led them on a lifelong journey into the ancient secrets of alchemy, the work of Johannes Kepler, and the Chinese Book of Changes. This is the captivating story of an extraordinary and fruitful collaboration between two of the greatest thinkers of the twentieth century.

Download or read book Wissenschaftlicher Briefwechsel mit Bohr Einstein Heisenberg u a Band IV Teil I 1950 1952 Scientific Correspondence with Bohr Einstein Heisenberg a o Volume IV Part I 1950 1952 written by Wolfgang Pauli and published by Springer. This book was released on 1996-07-16 with total page 970 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aus Paulis letztem Lebensjahrzehnt sind über 2000 Briefe erhalten. Neben der Physik wird hier auch der allgemeinere geistesgeschichtliche Hintergrund unserer Naturwissenschaft beleuchtet. In einem ersten Teilband werden zunächst 430 Briefe aus diesem Bestand vorgelegt, die Pauli von 1950 bis 1952 mit 72 Personen austauschte. Im Zentrum dieser Briefe steht die von Pauli maßgeblich mitbestimmte physikalische Grundlagenforschung der frühen 50er Jahre. Daneben treten immer häufiger auch ideengeschichtliche Probleme in den Vordergrund. Im Glauben an einen psycho-physischen Wirklichkeitszusammenhang im Sinne der Kopenhagener Komplementaritätsidee hat Pauli diese Frage sowohl mit seinen physikalischen Kollegen als auch mit dem Psychologen C.G. Jung und dessen Schülern erörtert.

Book 137  Jung  Pauli  and the Pursuit of a Scientific Obsession

Download or read book 137 Jung Pauli and the Pursuit of a Scientific Obsession written by Arthur I. Miller and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2010-05-17 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The history is fascinating, as are the insights into the personalities of these great thinkers." —New Scientist Is there a number at the root of the universe? A primal number that everything in the world hinges on? This question exercised many great minds of the twentieth century, among them the groundbreaking physicist Wolfgang Pauli and the famous psychoanalyst Carl Jung. Their obsession with the power of certain numbers—including 137, which describes the atom’s fine-structure constant and has great Kabbalistic significance—led them to develop an unlikely friendship and to embark on a joint mystical quest reaching deep into medieval alchemy, dream interpretation, and the Chinese Book of Changes. 137 explores the profound intersection of modern science with the occult, but above all it is the tale of an extraordinary, fruitful friendship between two of the greatest thinkers of our times. Originally published in hardcover as Deciphering the Cosmic Number.

Book Heisenberg in the Atomic Age

Download or read book Heisenberg in the Atomic Age written by Cathryn Carson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-01-11 with total page 559 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The end of the Second World War opened a new era for science in public life. Heisenberg in the Atomic Age explores the transformations of science's public presence in the postwar Federal Republic of Germany. It shows how Heisenberg's philosophical commentaries, circulating in the mass media, secured his role as science's public philosopher, and it reflects on his policy engagements and public political stands, which helped redefine the relationship between science and the state. With deep archival grounding, the book tracks Heisenberg's interactions with intellectuals from Heidegger to Habermas and political leaders from Adenauer to Brandt. It also traces his evolving statements about his wartime research on nuclear fission for the National Socialist regime. Working between the history of science and German history, the book's central theme is the place of scientific rationality in public life - after the atomic bomb, in the wake of the Third Reich.

Book The Creation of Quantum Mechanics and the Bohr Pauli Dialogue

Download or read book The Creation of Quantum Mechanics and the Bohr Pauli Dialogue written by J. Hendry and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many books have been written on the history of quantum mechanics. So far as I am aware, however, this is the first to incorporate the results of the large amount of detailed scholarly research completed by professional historians of physics over the past fifteen years. It is also, I believe, the first since Max Jammer's pioneering study of fifteen years ago to attempt a genuine 'history' as opposed to a mere technical report or popular or semi-popular account. My aims in making this attempt have been to satisfy the needs of historians of science and, more especially, to promote a serious interest in the history of science among phYSicists and physics students. Since the creation of quantum mechanics was inevitably a technical process conducted through the medium of technical language it has been impossible to avoid the introduction of a large amount of such language. Some acquaintance with quantum mechanics, corresponding to that obtained through an undergraduate physics course, has accordingly been assumed. I have tried to ensure, however, that such an acquaintance should be sufficient as well as necessary, and even someone with only the most basic grounding in physics should be able with judicious skip ping, to get through the book. The technical details are essential to the dialogue, but the plot proceeds and can, I hope, be understood on a non technical level.

This book was released on 2023-08-15 with total page 817 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second of two volumes on the genesis of quantum mechanics in the first quarter of the 20th century. It covers the period 1923-1927. After covering some of the difficulties the old quantum theory had run into by the early 1920s as well as the discovery of the exclusion principle and electron spin, it traces the emergence of two forms of the new quantum mechanics, matrix mechanics and wave mechanics, in the years 1923-27. It then shows how the new theory took care of some of the failures of the old theory and put its successes on a more solid basis. Finally, it shows how in 1927 the two forms of the new theory were unified, first through statistical transformation theory, then through the Hilbert space formalism. This volume provides a detailed analysis of the classic papers by Heisenberg, Born, Jordan, Dirac, De Broglie, Einstein, Schrödinger, von Neumann and other authors. Drawing on the correspondence of these and other physicists, their later reminiscences and the extensive secondary literature on the "quantum revolution", this volume places these papers in the context of the discussions out of which modern quantum mechanics emerged. It argues that the genesis of modern quantum mechanics can be seen as the construction of an arch on a scaffold provided by the old quantum theory, discarded once the arch could support itself.
