Extractions: Gravity and Quantum Theory Today the central problem of physics is that there is no common theory which could include the general relativity and quantum theory. General relativity describes macroscopic phenomena, quantum theory deals with microscopic phenomena. This division of duties is strange in physics. In most cases this duality is not disturbing, because the interest of the present physics focuses on the microcosmos and there neglecting gravity does not result in relevant error. All the other forces are 10 times more intensive than gravity, and this is a very large number. The Basic quantity in general relativity is the metric tensor. The relation of the metric tensor to quantum theory is still puzzling. In atomic physics we do not touch the question how the metric tensor can be measured. As a matter of fact, it cannot be measured microscopically. To know the metric tensor, the distance of two space-time points should be measured. But how can we specify two space-time events? One may think upon the collisions of mass points but in quantum mechanics this would not make much sense. The quantum behavior of gravity has not yet been demonstrated. We are convinced, however, that gravitational waves exist, and it is pretty sure that they show quantum behavior as well, in which the Planck constant plays a role. There are occasional claims that a quantum theory of gravity has been developed, but this is far from being convincing.

I have no photograph of myself, but I am glad to send you my greetings instead. Sincerely yours EP Wigner". Dr. Wigner was the Thomas D. Jones Professor of Mathematical Physics at Princeton University (1938-1971). He worked on the Manhattan Project at the University of Chicago during World War II, from 1942 to 1945, and in 1946-1947 became Director of Research and Development at Clinton Laboratories.

His work then turned to applying group theory to quantum mechanics and he was working on this during (1928-30) when he lectured in Berlin. From 1930 to 1933 Wigner spent part of the year at Princeton, part at Berlin. His Berlin post vanished under the Nazi rules passed in 1933 and from then, except for the years 1936 - 1938 in Wisconsin, Wigner spent the rest of his career at Princeton. He was appointed to the chair of mathematical physics at Princeton in 1938. Wigner's most important work was on quantum mechanics, in particular the concept of the symmetry in space and time that characterises subatomic particles. This work involved him in a deep study of group representations. In 1938 he constructed a class of irreducible unitary representations of the Lorentz group.

Extractions: Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Eugene Paul Wigner Hungarian November 17 January 1 ) was a Hungarian American physicist and mathematician He was one of a generation of physicists of the who remade the world of physics . It was a collection of people from Berlin to London to Zürich to Pisa , though not quite yet to New York or Chicago . The first physicists in this new generation Werner Heisenberg Erwin Schrödinger , and Paul Dirac , to name three - -created quantum mechanics . Quantum mechanics was a dazzling new world, which threw open dozens of fundamental physical questions. A new set of men (and a few women) came along behind them, to answer the first questions and pose others, often more complex. Wigner was in this second set of physicists. He posed and answered some of the most profound questions of 20th-century physics. He laid the foundation for the theory of symmetries in quantum mechanics. In the late , he extended his research into atomic nuclei Between and , this generation of physicists helped to remake the world again. This time it was a far greater, more public world they remade: one of armies, peoples, ideologies. They did it first by seeing that an

Extractions: I met Wigner quite often when I was instructor in physics at Princeton University, for the academic year 1960-1961, and again when I was working with Wightman on our book, from Sept 1962 to Feb 1963. He was an extremely polite man, and never preceded anyone in passing through a door. I always accepted his offer to stand back, since if I argued, and tried to get him through the door first, then a bottle-neck in the corridor would be created. He was always sympathetic to what I was trying to do in research, but it was difficult to assess whether he thought it was any good. Wigner put the subject of relativistic quantum mechanics on a firm footing, when he showed that the relativistic wave equations of Klein and Gordon, and of Dirac , and Maxwell and Proca, were realisations of unitary representations of the group, and so fell into his general theory of symmetry. I think that Dirac, in 1933, started to worry that his equation was not unitary, because the gamma matrices are not unitary. This might have induced Dirac to dabble with infinite-component fields, where he found some unitary irreducible representations of the homogeneous Lorentz group, a problem that was considered too difficult by mathematicians at the time.

Extractions: EUGENE WIGNER WAS A towering leader of modern physics for more than half of the twentieth century. While his greatest renown was associated with the introduction of symmetry theory to quantum physics and chemistry, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics for 1963, his scientific work encompassed an astonishing breadth of science, perhaps unparalleled during his time. In preparing this memoir, we have the impression we are attempting to record the monumental achievements of half a dozen scientists. There is the Wigner who demonstrated that symmetry principles are of great importance in quantum mechanics; who pioneered the application of quantum mechanics in the fields of chemical kinetics and the theory of solids; who was the first nuclear engineer; who formulated many of the most basic ideas in nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry; who was the prophet of quantum chaos; who served as a mathematician and philosopher of science; and the Wigner who was the supervisor and mentor of more than forty Ph.D. students in theoretical physics during his career of over four decades at Princeton University. His legacy also resides in the many concepts and phenomena that bear his name. There is, for example, the Wigner-Eckart theorem for the addition of angular momenta, the Wigner effect in nuclear reactors, the Wigner correlation energy, as well as the Wigner crystal in solids, the Wigner force, the Breit-Wigner formula in nuclear physics, and the Wigner distribution in the quantum theory of chaos.
