...Niels Bohr, Denmark's Nobel Prize-winning physicist, was back where he had done much of his famed work on the atom: in England. High-domed, shaggy-browed Bohr, according to a London paper, had reached England from Denmark by way of Sweden in an escape which "when . . . told in full will be one of the most thrilling...
...exact terms all the phenomena of nature. Quantum mechanics is an exact, mathematical system for dealing with atoms and radiation. So named because its fundamental principle is that energy is exchanged in separate, indivisible bundles called quanta, quantum mechanics has been powerfully developed by such giants of physics as Bohr, de Broglie, Heisenberg, Schrodinger and Dirac (Nobel Prizewinners all). It has interpreted the laws of radiation, the laws of specific heat, the details of atomic, molecular and X-ray spectra...
...were awarded Nobel Prizes while working at Cavendish. Rutherford was already a Nobel Laureate when he went from Manchester to Cavendish. Chadwick got his Nobel Prize a month after he had left Cavendish for Liverpool. Among the foreign bigwigs who have studied at Cavendish are two other Nobelists: Niels Bohr of Denmark and Arthur Holly Compton of Chicago. This bombardment of laurels seems exceedingly likely to continue...
...Neurath's associate editors are Professors Rudolph Carnap and Charles W. Morris of the University of Chicago. The introductory pamphlets contain articles by these three and by Denmark's Niels Bohr, England's Bertrand Russell, Columbia University's John Dewey. Scores of other savants will sound off on "Metascience" in the pamphlets and volumes yet to come...
...physicists' talk was lively and brilliant. But they spent most of their time trying to find some way to mend the painful gap between Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, bickering politely about the validity and application of physical theories, asking themselves what physical reality is after all. Bohr criticized de Broglie and almost everyone present criticized Sir Arthur Eddington. Altogether they gave the impression of giants wallowing in a quagmire...
