...support it." But Boston University historian Robert Schulmann, director of the Einstein Papers Project, is much less impressed. He concedes that Zackheim's conclusions about Lieserl's fate are "as good as anything I could come up with, or anyone else. But," he emphasizes, "it's speculation." Harvard physicist and Einstein historian Gerald Holton is highly critical. "She worked very hard traipsing through all those Serbian cemeteries," he says of Zackheim's prodigious research effort, "and came up with nothing...
There was plenty of room to stretch out in Sanders Theatre yesterday, as renowned physicist Stephen W. Hawking described the mathematical underpinnings of black holes in his second of three Loeb lectures...
Stephen W. Hawking, a physicist compared in stature to Isaac Newton, spoke last night about the "shape of time" 84 years after Albert Einstein advanced his theory of general relativity...
...Ithaca may not be the average place to take high school physics, or to parent: physicist Carl Sagan sent his children through the district that shares its small city with enormous Cornell University. That doesn't mean every family in town has a computer in the home. Ithaca has discussed opening its computer labs to parents and the community after hours. "We need to make sure we're not just reaching a fraction of the population," LaPier says. And parents do express concerns about their child's privacy, as well as access to inappropriate material online. But they're coming...
...number of other teams in what is starting to look like OSETI mania. At Princeton, physicist David T. Wilkinson will soon begin surveying nearby stars with a detector similar to Horowitz's. At the University of California, Berkeley, extrasolar-planet hunter Geoff Marcy is re-examining his data for sharp spectral lines that might indicate a continuous beam of light intended as a low-power signal. Another Berkeley team, led by SETI veteran Dan Werthimer, is looking for short, powerful laser bursts in a series of automated observations of 2,500 nearby stars. Later he plans to turn to invisible...
