    Extractions: Sir James Jeans Sir James Jeans, noted British scientist, has given a physical analysis of musical sounds, in what is considered to be the best exposition on the subject, a book of great intellectual stature. His aim has been to convey precise information, in a simple non-technical way, that will be of interest to the amateur as well as the serious student of music. The discussion begins with an explanation of the development of the human faculty of hearing. It is established that each sound can be represented by a curve. An examination of the general properties of sound-curves follows. For example, why do some sounds produce pleasure when they reach our ears and some pain? How do we retain the pleasurable qualities in the sound-curve, as it passes on from one stage of electronic equipment to another? To what extent is it possible to prevent unpleasant qualities from contaminating the curve? These and other pertinent questions on the transmission and reproduction of sound-curves are answered in a discussion of tuning-forks and pure tones. The various methods of producing sound, and the qualities of the sounds produced, are further discussed as they relate to vibrations of strings and harmonics, and vibrations of air. Harmony and discord are also considered. In the final chapters on the concert room and hearing, the discussion focuses on the transmission of sound from its source to the eardrum and from the eardrum to the brain. A general theory of acoustics is also covered as well as acoustical analyses.

Does anyone know of any historical work along these lines, e.g. examining connections among mathematical motivations that later led to physical applications? Perhaps some of the original mathematics had purposely hidden physical motivations due to the distaste for applications by 'pure' mathematicians (e.g. Hardy's "Apology"). -Bill Dubuque The Math Forum

Dewey, Weeks, and Beard were asked to "select the twenty-five most influential books published in the last fifty years." This means between 1874 and 1936. Downs, on the other hand, writes, "For practical reasons, it was arbitrarily decided to restrict the discussion to books in science and the social sciences, omitting such vastly important fields as religion, philosophy, and literature."

    Extractions: Science and Religion welcome mysticism beliefs ... search This page examines relevant extracts from the work of the following physicists. Many quotes have been taken from the book Quantum Questions , (new Science Library, 1985) edited by Ken Wilber, including comments from the editor himself. Click on any physicist below for a sample of quotes. Where necessary, I have paraphrased Ken Wilber, but avoided littering the text with repetitive page references; the book is an excellent source of material, and well worth reading for further information. "..modern physics offers no positive support (let alone proof) for a mystical worldview. Nevertheless, every one of the physicists in this volume was a mystic. They simply believed, to a man, that if modern physics no longer objects to a religious worldview, it offers no positive support either; properly speaking, it is indifferent to all that." (preface). It was a source of irritation to many physicists, Eddington included, that the "new age" audience seemed firmly convinced that the new physics, delving as it did into seemingly inexplicable sub-atomic behaviour, somehow supported or proved mysticism, when clearly, a scientific proof of God had not then, nor has yet been achieved. Nevertheless, physics does now move in an area where ideas and imagination seem more important to make headway when digging deeper, than when decoding the perhaps more easily understood phenomena behind the movements of planets and the forces in magnetic fields.

A Muslim scholar Anayat-ul-lah met Professor James Jeans (He was a famous Astronomer in Cambridge University in those days and was a Christian). During discussion Anayat-ul-lah asked Professor James Jeans to listen a verse from the Holy Qur'aan. Sir James Jeans agreed and Anayat-ul-lah recited the following two verses from the Holy Qur'aan:

    Extractions: J Jansky, Karl Guthe Jeans, sir James Jeffreys, sir Harold Geofísico inglés, nacido en 1891, que ha hecho contribuciones esenciales al conocimiento de la constitución interna de nuestro planeta. Fue el primero en comprender que el núcleo de la Tierra es fluido y ha estudiado la oscilación del eje terrestre estableciendo su periodo. Ha realizado también investigaciones sobre la composición y la temperatura de los planetas exteriores. En los años 20 y 30, Jeffreys retomó la teoría colisional de Jeans sobre el origen del sistema solar y propuso una variante, la llamada hipótesis mareal, que poco se separaba de la idea básica; fue abandonada cuando se demostró incapaz de explicar la distribución actual del momento angular en el sistema solar. Por esta y por otras razones, a partir de los años 40, fueron olvidadas todas las teorías dualísticas, es decir, aquellas que tomaban dos cuerpos (por ejemplo el Sol y otra estrella) para explicar la formación de los planetas.
