Herbert Goldstein ( June 26, 1922 – January 12, 2005 ) was an American physicist and the author of the standard graduate textbook Classical Mechanics.

In 1938, Russian physicist Pyotr Leonidovich Kapitsa discovered that helium-4 has almost no viscosity at temperatures near absolute zero, a phenomenon now called superfluidity.

In recent years, a form of monistic idealism has been defended by the physicist Amit Goswami:

However, later archival work by the Soviet physicist German Goncharov has suggested that while Fuchs ' early work ( most of which is still classified in the United States, but copies of which were available to the Soviets ) did not aid the Soviets in their effort towards the hydrogen bomb, it was actually far closer to the final correct solution than was recognized at the time, and indeed spurred Soviet research into useful problems which eventually resulted in the correct answer.

Particle physicist and Anglican theologian John Polkinghorne objects to what he calls promissory materialism — claims that materialistic science will eventually succeed in explaining phenomena it has not so far been able to explain.

Science fiction author and physicist Gregory Benford has declared that: " SF is perhaps the defining genre of the twentieth century, although its conquering armies are still camped outside the Rome of the literary citadels.

And theoretical physicist Mendel Sachs, who has attempted to complete Einstein's unified field theory, writes:

An unusually exotic theory of sonoluminescence, which has received much popular attention, is the Casimir energy theory suggested by noted physicist Julian Schwinger and more thoroughly considered in a paper by Claudia Eberlein of the University of Sussex.

The physicist David Deutsch has argued that if backwards time travel is possible, it should result in the traveler ending up in a different branch of history than the one he departed from.

Fred R. Shapiro, the editor of the Yale Book of Quotations, has shown that in 1952 the adage was called " Murphy's law " in a book by Anne Roe, quoting an unnamed physicist:

Sir Michael Atiyah said of Witten, " Although he is definitely a physicist, his command of mathematics is rivaled by few mathematicians ... Time and again he has surprised the mathematical community by a brilliant application of physical insight leading to new and deep mathematical theorems ... he has made a profound impact on contemporary mathematics.

The Russian chemist and science historian Lev Chugaev has characterized him as " a chemist of genius, first-class physicist, a fruitful researcher in the fields of hydrodynamics, meteorology, geology, certain branches of chemical technology ( explosives, petroleum, and fuels, for example ) and other disciplines adjacent to chemistry and physics, a thorough expert of chemical industry and industry in general, and an original thinker in the field of economy.

Using data he collected from his own observations Gersonides ' refuted Ptolemy's model in what the notable physicist Yuval Ne ' eman has considered as " one of the most important insights in the history of science, generally missed in telling the story of the transition from epicyclic corrections to the geocentric model to Copernicus ' heliocentric model ".

In the philosophy of thermal and statistical physics, Maxwell's demon is a thought experiment created by the physicist James Clerk Maxwell to " show that the Second Law of Thermodynamics has only a statistical certainty ".

Shlyakhter is a Russian physicist who noted that the existence of the natural nuclear fission reactor at Oklo in Gabon gave evidence that the physical fine-structure constant α has changed less than 10 < sup >− 17 </ sup > per year over the last two billion years.

In addition to the many long and distinguished positions he has held, Dr. Ferguson is a widely respected physicist and nuclear engineer who has more than twenty years of experience in the field.

According to Don Page, physicist at the University of Alberta, Canada, the longest finite time that has so far been explicitly calculated by any physicist is

Oxford theoretical physicist David Deutsch has adopted the economic term fungible to describe the physical nature of quantum particles and universes within the quantum multiverse, where, by virtue of being identical in all respects, different particles chaotically divide or combine as a result of physical interactions from a common fungible fund in superposition.

Joseph F. Baugher ( born 1941 ) is a retired physicist, software engineer, and author, who has also written articles on aviation.

Virtually every modern physicist suspects that antimatter has positive mass and should be affected by gravity just like normal matter, although it is thought that this view has not yet been conclusively empirically observed.

His father is a physicist and he has three brothers, two of whom are mathematics teachers.

However, the idea that electrons might revolve around a compact nucleus with definite angular momentum was convincingly argued at least 19 years earlier by Niels Bohr, and the Japanese physicist Hantaro Nagaoka published an orbit-based hypothesis for electronic behavior as early as 1904.

In response, another physicist named Joseph Polchinski sent them a letter in which he argued that one could avoid questions of free will by considering a potentially paradoxical situation involving a billiard ball sent through a wormhole which sends it back in time.

Secretary of State James Byrnes, who a year earlier had told physicist Leo Szilard that a public demonstration of the bomb might make Russia " more manageable " in Europe, now argued the opposite: that further display of U. S. nuclear power could harden Russia's position against acceptance of the Acheson – Lilienthal Plan.

In 2006, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign physicist Dr. Alan Nathan argued that if the weather had been 77 degrees Fahrenheit rather than 76 degrees, the ball would have traveled two inches farther than it did and The Catch would not have been completed ( though Nathan's report does not take into account the possibility of Mays extending his reach or running a bit farther than he did ).

A partisan debate ensued in Congress, with Democrats questioning the feasibility and strategic wisdom of such a program, while Republicans talked about its strategic necessity and provided a number of technical experts who argued that it was in fact feasible ( including Manhattan Project physicist Edward Teller ).

The issue of linearity versus threshold re-entered the debate on nuclear fallout in 1962, when Ernest Sternglass, a Pittsburgh physicist, argued that the linearity thesis was confirmed by the research of Alice Stewart.

In the 1960s through 1980s, Nobel Prize winning physicist William Shockley argued that AFDC and other similar programs tended to encourage childbirth, especially among less productive members of society ( particularly blacks, whom he considered to be genetically inferior to whites ), causing a reverse evolution ( dysgenic effect ), founded on the premises that: there is a correlation between financial success and intelligence ; and that intelligence is hereditary.

Torrance famously argued for a non-dualist and non-monist view of theology and science in the school of the renowned physicist and theologian John Philoponos ( 490-570 ) whose thinking stood in stark contrast to Aristotelian and Neoplatonic thinking which Torrance believed was harmful both to science and to theology.

Kuhn, a former physicist, argued against the view that scientific progress was linear, and that modern scientific theories were necessarily just more accurate versions of theories of the past.

In 1937, plasma physicist Hannes Alfvén argued that if plasma pervaded the universe, then it could generate a galactic magnetic field.
