Relativistic quantum field theory

Julian Schwinger
OpenURL
Show Topic
Quantum field theory unites Bohr's complementarity principle and Einstein's relativity. Mathematical and physical consequences of the union are discussed.

Current problems of fluid dynamics

Richard G. Fowler
OpenURL
Show Topic
Subjects from sonic boom to tidal waves occupy fluid dynamicists. When the American Physical Society held its joint meeting with the Japanese Physical Society in Hawaii, they discussed boundary‐layer flow, kinetics of dense gases and applications of their subject in contemporary engineering. They worry because study of fluids is declining even as its importance increases.

Confessions of an ex‐physicist

Harold Brown
OpenURL
Show Topic
Following churchmen, lawyers and economists, scientists came to government as advisors. They have progressed from part‐time to full‐time service, and lately one has found them managing nontechnical enterprises. Perhaps technical training is suited to these jobs too.

Two neutron sciences

Herbert Goldstein and David T. Goldman
OpenURL
Show Topic
Improvements in sources, detectors, models and data analysis have produced a flood of neutron‐cross‐section information. Drifting farther and farther apart in the flood are measurers of cross sections and designers of neutron devices. The result has been two sciences instead of one.
