Cale's songs never really grip you on first listen. They're too quiet for
that. Sometimes you don't even hear what he's singing at all, nor what he's
playing, for that matter (Mark Knopfler sure made great use of that
technique later on). The effect sets in on succeeding listens, with his
stunning minimalism and, above all, that deeply-felt sincere and utterly
humane nature of all the songs. In blues-rock, it is usually not the actual
melody that is important - the melodies are all already written - but the
approach and the arrangement, and J. J. has no-one to match his uniqueness
in that respect. Where the Seventies focused on flashiness, loudness and an
almost defiant, forced demand of immediate catharsis, J. J. opposed this
with minimalism, restrain, remoteness, and quietness. And if it doesn't pay
back in the direct sense of the word (i.e. financially), it certainly pays
back in the artistic sense. ... I might even go as far as to say that J. J.
has NEVER written a SINGLE bad song in his life ...

I know of at least one bad song by Cale, "Midnight in Memphis" -- nekkid
syncopation,
usually suppressed by Cale and his apostol, Knopfler.

Harold Clayton Urey (April 29, 1893 - January 5, 1981) was an American
physical chemist whose pioneering work on isotopes earned him the Nobel
Prize in Chemistry in 1934 and later led him to theories of planetary
evolution.
Biography
Urey was born in Walkerton, Indiana to Reverend Samuel Clayton Urey and Cora
Rebecca Riensehl. After briefly teaching in rural schools, Urey earned a
degree in zoology from the University of Montana and a Ph.D. in chemistry,
studying thermodynamics under Gilbert N. Lewis at the University of
California, Berkeley.
James Clerk Maxwell:
Admitting heat to be a form of energy, the second law asserts that it is
impossible, by the unaided action of natural processes, to transform any
part of the heat of a body into mechanical work, except by allowing heat to
pass from that body into another at a lower temperature.

Ludwig Boltzmann (1844-1906) was an Austrian mathematician and physicist who
was most famous for his creation of statistical mechanics, which connects
the properties and behaviour of collections or ensembles of atoms and
molecules with the large scale properties and behaviour of the substances of
which they were the building blocks.
Entropy is a measure of disorder in a system, where disorder is defined
formally as the number of different microstates a system can be in, given
that the system has fixed composition, volume, energy, pressure and
temperature. By "microscopic states", we mean the exact states of each of
the molecules making up the system.
....
Thus, the more microstates or combination pathways there are, the higher the
entropy.
Boltzmann has also to be called a "grandfather" to quantum theory, since
modern
stat mech connects classical mechanics and quantum mechanics
....
James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879) was a Scottish mathematician and physicist
who published physical and mathematical theories of the electromagnetic
field, published as "A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism (1873)", which
included the formulas today known as the Maxwell equations.
With Clausius, he developed the kinetic theory of gases. In "Illustrations
of the Dynamical Theory of Gases" (1860), he described the velocity
distribution of molecules. His studies of kinetic theory led him to propose
the Maxwell's demon paradox in a 1867 letter to Tait.
Maxwell's demon (termed a "finite being" by Maxwell) is a tiny hypothetical
creature that can see individual molecules. The demon can make heat flow
from a cold body to a hot one by opening a door whenever a molecule with
above average kinetic energy approaches from the cold body, or below average
kinetic energy approaches from the hot body, then quickly closing it. This
process appears to violate the second law of thermodynamics, but was used by
Maxwell to show that the second law of thermodynamics is a statistical law
describing the properties of a large number of particles.
Maurice Allais:
Nature doesn't leave any room to chance and all is determined by cause
and effect relationships. What's called hazard is nothing but a
representation of our ignorance. But the permanent nature of the statistical
laws shows the existence of a hidden order.

THE GREENING OF QUANTUM FIELD THEORY GEORGE AND I*
* Lecture of July 14, 1993, at Nottingham, UK.
Julian Schwinger, Professor of Physics at
the University of California, Los Angeles
(Shared the 1965 Nobel Physics Prize with Feynman and Tomonaga)
The young theoretical physicists of a generation or two earlier subscribed
to the belief that: If you haven't done something important by age 30, you
never will.
Obviously, they were unfamiliar with the history of George Green, the miller
of Nottingham.
Born, as we all know, exactly two centuries ago, he received, from the age
8, only a
few terms of formal education. Thus, he was self-educated in mathematics and
physics,
when in 1828, at age 35, he published, by subscription, his first and most
important work:
*An Essay on the Applications of Mathematical Analysis to the Theory of
Electricity and
Magnetism*. ...
There are those who cannot accept that someone, of modest social status and
limited formal education, could produce formidable feats of intellect. There
is the
familiar example of William Shakespeare of Stratford on Avon. It took almost
a century and a half to surface, and yet another century to strongly
promote, the idea that Will of
Stratford could not possibly be the source of the plays and the sonnets
which had to have
been written by Francis Bacon. Or was it the earl of Rutland? Or perhaps it
was William,
the sixth earl of Derby? The most recent pretender is Edward deVir,
Seventeenth earl
of Oxford, notwithstanding the fact that he had been dead for 12 years when
Will was
put to rest.
....
I consider myself to be largely self-educated. A major source of information
came from my family's possession of the Encyclopedia Brittanica Eleventh
Edition.
I recently became curious to know what I might have, and probably did, learn
about
George Green, some 65 years before.
There is no article detailing the life of George Green. There are, however,
4 brief
references that indicate the wide range of Green's interests. First, in the
article Electricity, as a footnote to the description of Lord Kelvin's work,
is this:
In this connexion the work of George Green (1793-1841) must not be
forgotten.
Green's Essay on the application of mathematical analysis to the theories of
electricity
and magnetism, published in 1828, contains the first exposition of the
theory of potential.
An important theorem contained in it is known as Green's theorem, and is of
great value.
It was, of course, Lord Kelvin, or rather William Thomson, who rescued Green
's work
from total obscurity.
Then, in the article Hydromechanics, after several applications of Green's
transformation, which is to say, the theorem, there appears, under the
heading
The Motion of a Solid through a Liquid:
The ellipsoid was the shape first worked out, by George Green, in his
Research on the vibration of a pendulum in a fluid medium (1833).
On to the article Light under the heading Mechanical Models of the
Electromagnetic Medium. After some negative remarks about Fresnel,
one reads:
Thus, George Green, who was the first to apply the theory of elasticity in
an unobjectional manner ...
This is the content of On the Laws of Reflexion and Refraction of Light
(1837).
Finally, the paper On the Propagation of Light in Crystallized Media (1839)
appears in the Brittanica article Wave as follows:
The theory of waves diverging from a center in an unlimited crystaline
medium has been investigated with a view to optical theory by G. Green.
The word "propagation" is a signal to us that, in little more than 10 years,
George Green had significantly widened his physical framework. From the
static
three-dimensional Green function that appears in potential theory, he had
arrived at the
concept of a dynamical, four-dimensional Green function. It would be
invaluable a century
later.
To continue the saga of George Green and me-my next step was to trace the
influences of George Green on my own works. Here I spent no time over
ancient
documents. I went directly to a known source: THE WAR.
I presume that in Britain, unlike the United States, the war has a unique
connotation.
Apart from a brief sojourn in Chicago, to see if I wanted to help develop
The Bomb-I didn't-I spent the war years helping to develop microwave radar.
In the
earlier hands of the British, that activity, famous for its role in winning
the Battle of
Britain, had begun with electromagnetic radio waves of high frequency, to be
followed by very high frequency, which led to very high frequency, indeed.
Through those years in Cambridge (Massachusetts, that is), I gave a series
of lectures on microwave propagation. A small percentage of them is
preserved in a slim
volume entitled Discontinuities in Waveguides. The word propagation will
have
alerted you to the presence of George Green. Indeed, on pages 10 and 18 of
an introduction there are applications of two different forms of Green's
identity.
Then, on the first page of Chapter 1, there is Green's function, symbolized
by G. In the subsequent 138 pages the references to Green in name or symbol
are more
than 200 in number.
As the war in Europe was winding down, the experts in high power microwaves
began to think of those electric fields as potential electron accelerators.
I took
a hand in that and devised the microtron ...
I have never seen one, but I have been told that it works. More important
and more
familiar is the synchrotron.
....
A quantum mechanical description seeks the probabilities of emmitting
various numbers of photons, all of which probabilities are referred to the
basic
probability, that for emitting no photons. The latter probability dips below
one-in some analogy with synchrotron radiation-because of the self-action
carried by the electromagnetic field, as described by Green's functiion. And
that function must obey the requirements imposed by an accelerated surface
discontinuity, with water, the dielectric material, on one side, and a
dielectric vacuum, air, on the other side. Carrying out that program is-as
one television advertiser puts it-job one. Very fascinating, indeed.
....
What, finally, shall we say about George Green? Why, that he is, in a manner
of speaking, alive, well, and living among us.
http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/hep-ph/9310283
What "self-action"? (Hence the recurring mathematical infinities of QED.)
That's Evolutionary thinking. Erroneous, for there's no such thing as
self-organization. Even a wayfaring fool like me understands that. Why can't
the great Schwinger and his fellow masters of rock and roll physics? 2+2=4,
right? (Schwinger in particular was *really* good at math analysis, a sort
of latter-day Lagrange in analytical talent.) In any case, I suppose the low
key and mostly humble Schwinger can always declare righteously about
himself, "Apart from a brief sojourn in Chicago, to see if I wanted to help
develop The Bomb-I didn't-I spent the war years helping to develop microwave
radar."
(George Green was a master of classical physics. Nowadays Green's
and Stokes's Theorems are still taught in intermediate math courses in
multivariable and vector calculus as a mathematical foundation for
everything else in upcoming physics courses, but who they were and the
history of their work are not taught.)

Obituaries
Louis Néel
Néel was indeed a worthy successor to the French tradition of research in
magnetism initiated by Pierre Curie, Paul Langevin, and Pierre Weiss. ...
Néel's successes in research and scientific administration were helped by
circumstances; they came mostly from a clear awareness of his aims and
possible limitations, and were stimulated by a great willpower. His sharp
mind concentrated on scientific models of his own, simple enough to be
developed on the back of an envelope, but powerful because they were well
adapted to the problems at hand and general in nature. His greatest
successes came against the stream of fashion. He published to the last in
French; his work during the war was poorly published and thus hardly known.
....
Néel developed the concept of antiferromagnetism, in which two
interpenetrating atomic lattices are treated in a molecular field
approximation. Manganese and chromium showed the predicted susceptibility,
with a peak at what became known as the Néel temperature. These proposals,
made in 1936, were confirmed in 1938 on manganese oxide, an insulator with
no possible contributions from metallic paramagnetism.
To describe antiferromagnetism, Lev Landau and Cornelis Gorter suggested
quantum fluctuations to mix Néel's solution with that obtained by reversal
of moments. But in a macroscopic crystal with magnetocrystalline anisotropy,
the nucleation would involve a magnetic wall of high energy. Using neutron
diffraction, Harry Shull confirmed (in 1950) Néel's model.
.... At a dinner held to celebrate Néel's receipt of the Nobel Prize, his
friend
Hendrik Casimir stressed that these contributions were essential to Philips
research laboratories' development of ferrite-based devices. Bell
Laboratories and Japanese firms could have made similar statements.
Applications were at the root of Néel's work, which looked at larger scales.
His interest in hysteresis dated from the war: Indeed, he personally
supervised the magnetic protection of all main vessels of the French navy,
during the spring of 1940, from magnetic mines by applying a short strong
field, opposite in direction to Earth's, thus reducing the ships'
magnetization due to Earth's field.
....
Néel's difficulties with antiferromagnetism and inconclusive discussions in
the
Strasbourg international meeting of 1939 fostered his skepticism about the
usefulness of quantum mechanics; this was one of the few limitations of this
superior mind.

Climbing the Mountain; The Scientific Biography of Julian Schwinger
Author(s): Jagdish Mehra; Kimball A. Milton
Pub. Date: 10/20/2003
Publisher(s): Oxford University Press, USA
Synopsis
Julian Schwinger was one of the leading theoretical physicists of the
twentieth century. His contributions are as important, and as pervasive, as
those of Richard Feynman, with whom (and with Sin-itiro Tomonaga) he shared
the 1965 Nobel Prize for Physics. Yet, while Feynman is universally
recognized as a cultural icon, Schwinger is little known even to many within
the physics community. In his youth, Julian Schwinger was a nuclear
physicist, turning to classical electrodynamics after World War II. In the
years after the war, he was the first to renormalize quantum
electrodynamics.
[Even if that's true, Schwinger really got started on QED
after reading a late 1940's Feynman paper that discusses his Hamiltonian
path integral approach to QED, but Schwinger's equivalent formulation of
QED is much more rigorous than Feynman's. Not that it really matters,
since quantum mechanics is only rock and roll flavored
action-at-a-distance
physics, i.e. half baked. While it is debatable if *all* supporters,
from first
to last, of the quantum view of Nature are anti-Christs, the philosophy
itself
is indeed anti-Christ.]
Subsequently, he presented the most complete formulation of quantum field
theory and laid the foundations for the electroweak synthesis of Glashow,
Weinberg, and Salam, and he made fundamental contributions to the theory of
nuclear magnetic resonance, to many-body theory, and to quantum optics. He
developed a unique approach to quantum mechanics, measurement algebra, and a
general quantum action principle. His discoveries include 'Feynman's'
parameters and 'Glauber's' coherent states;

A Ridiculously Brief History of Electricity and Magnetism
Mostly from E. T. Whittaker's
A History of the Theories of Aether and Electricity
....
1828 - George Green generalizes and extends the work of Lagrange, Laplace,
and Poisson and attaches the name potential to their scalar function.
Green's theorems are given, as well as the divergence theorem (Gauss's law),
but Green doesn't know of the work of Lagrange and Gauss and only references
Priestly's deduction of the inverse square law from Franklin's experimental
work on the charging of hollow vessels.
....
1828 - Poisson shows that the equations of Navier and Cauchy have wave
solutions of two types: transverse and longitudinal. Mathematical physicists
spend the next 50 years trying to invent an elastic aether for which the
longitudinal waves are absent.
....
1837 - George Green attacks the elastic aether problem from a new angle.
Instead of deriving boundary conditions between different media by finding
which ones give agreement with the experimental laws of optics, he derives
the correct boundary conditions from general dynamical principles. This
advance makes the elastic theories not quite fit with light.
....
1839 - James MacCullagh invents an elastic aether in which there are no
longitudinal waves. In this aether the potential energy of deformation
depends only on the rotation of the volume elements and not on their
compression or general distortion. This theory gives the same wave equation
as that satisfied by and in Maxwell's theory.
1839 - William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) removes some of the objections to
MacCullagh's rotation theory by inventing a mechanical model which satisfies
MacCullagh's energy of rotation hypothesis. It has spheres, rigid bars,
sliding contacts, and flywheels.
1839 - Cauchy and Green present more refined elastic aether theories,
Cauchy's removing the longitudinal waves by postulating a negative
compressibility, and Green's using an involved description of crystalline
solids.
....
1850 - William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) invents the idea of magnetic
permeability and susceptibility, ...
1853 - Thomson gives the theory of the RLC circuit providing a
mathematical description for the observations of Henry and Savery.
....
1855 - James Clerk Maxwell writes a memoir in which he attempts to marry
Faraday's intuitive field line ideas with Thomson's mathematical analogies.
....
1861 - Maxwell publishes a mechanical model of the electromagnetic field.
Magnetic fields correspond to rotating vortices with idle wheels between
them and electric fields correspond to elastic displacements, hence
displacement currents. ...
1864 - Maxwell reads a memoir before the Royal Society in which the
mechanical model is stripped away and just the equations remain. He also
discusses the vector and scalar potentials, using the Coulomb gauge. He
attributes physical significance to both of these potentials. He wants to
present the predictions of his theory on the subjects of reflection and
refraction, but the requirements of his mechanical model keep him from
finding the correct boundary conditions, so he never does this calculation.
....
1870 - Helmholtz derives the correct laws of reflection and refraction
from Maxwell's equations by using the following boundary conditions: , , and
are continuous. Once these boundary conditions are taken Maxwell's theory is
just a repeat of MacCullagh's theory. The details were not given by
Helmholtz himself, but appear rather in the inaugural dissertation of H. A.
Lorentz.
....
1873 - Maxwell publishes his Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism, which
discusses everything known at the time about electromagnetism from the
viewpoint of Faraday. His own theory is not very thoroughly discussed, but
he does introduce his electromagnetic stress tensor in this work, including
the accompanying idea of electromagnetic momentum.
....
1876 - Henry Rowland performs an experiment inspired by Helmholtz which
shows for the first time that moving electric charge is the same thing as an
electric current.

"Observation of scalar longitudinal electrodynamic waves", co-authored by C.
Monstein and J.P. Wesley and published in Europhysics Letters, 59 (4), pp.
514-520 (2002).
Abstract. - Theoretically scalar potential [Phi] waves with a longitudinal
electric field [vector E] in the direction of propagation must exist. A
centrally fed ball antenna, 6 cm diameter, producing a pulsating 433.59MHz
spherical source charge, generated such a wave, that was detected by an
identical ball antenna. The longitudinality of [vector E] was demonstrated
by intervening a cubic array of 9 half-wavelength wires, that absorbed the
wave when the wires were parallel (but not when perpendicular) to the
direction of propagation.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Urey
At Berkeley, Urey was influenced by the work of physicist Raymond T. Birge
and soon joined Niels Bohr in Copenhagen to work on atomic structure at the
Institute for Theoretical Physics. ... After completion of his text with
Arthur Ruark, Atoms, Quanta and Molecules, one of the first English texts on
quantum mechanics and its applications to atomic and molecular systems, Urey
became interested in nuclear systematics. This led to his discovery of
deuterium.
During this time, Urey isolated deuterium by repeatedly distilling a sample
of liquid hydrogen. In 1931, he and his associates went on to demonstrate
the existence of heavy water. Urey was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry
in 1934 for this work. [1]
During World War II, Urey's team at Columbia worked on a number of research
programs that contributed towards the Manhattan Project to develop an atomic
bomb for the United States. Most importantly, they developed the gaseous
diffusion method to separate uranium-235 from uranium-238. In autumn 1941,
Urey, with G. B. Pegram, led a diplomatic mission to England to establishing
co-operation on development of the atomic bomb.
After the war, he became professor of chemistry at the Institute for Nuclear
Studies, then Ryerson professor of chemistry at the University of Chicago
before progressing to honorific offices at the University of California, San
Diego. A UCSD building was named in his honor in the early 1960s, during a
time when nearly all buildings other than student dormitories had only
generic names.
In later life, Urey helped develop the field of cosmochemistry and is
credited with coining the term. His work on oxygen-18 led him to develop
theories about the abundance of the chemical elements on earth and of their
abundance and evolution in the stars. This work was among the pioneering
paleoclimatic research. Urey summarised his work in the book The Planets:
Their Origin and Development (1952). Urey speculated that the early
terrestrial atmosphere was probably composed of ammonia, methane and
hydrogen; it was one of his Chicago graduate students, Stanley L. Miller,
who showed that, if such a mixture be exposed to ultraviolet radiation and
to water, it can interact to produce amino acids, commonly called the
"building blocks of life" (see Miller-Urey experiment).
Urey died at La Jolla, California, and is buried in the Fairfield Cemetery
in DeKalb County, Indiana.

with plasmas in stars, in the geomagnetic field, and in
interplanetary and interstellar space, but his theories were basic to the
study of laboratory plasmas encountered in the development of controlled
thermonucelar fusion. More specifically, Alfven applied his analyses to such
phenomena as geomagnetic storms, the aurora, the Van Allen radiation belts,
sunspots, and the evolution of the solar system. His results have been
seminal not only in designing thermonuclear reactors, but also in the
development of astrophysics, space science, and geophysics. ...

down in the earth blinding the hearts of the children of men, in the which
they raise their heads in wickedness before me, and deny the Holy Ghost and
the Creator that made them.
166 Thus they become devils forever and ever, saith the Lord, and suffer the
wrath of the Lord in eternity and are cast into that lake of fire, and their
worm dieth not but they are consumed.
167 And the common man and woman is not guiltless before me in these things,
saith the Lord, for in their sloth they have allowed themselves to be
deceived, even in these things and by false religions.
Revelations of Jesus Christ 3:165-167
Pugwash and Russell's Legacy
by John R. Lenz
This article appears in The Bertrand Russell Society Quarterly, no. 89
(Feb. 1996), pp. 18-24. ...
In October, 1995, the Nobel Peace Prize for 1995 was awarded to Dr. Joseph
Rotblat and (jointly) Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs "for
their efforts to diminish the part played by nuclear arms in international
politics and in the longer run to eliminate such arms."
Rotblat was an associate of Bertrand Russell's, who is regarded as a
founding-father of the Pugwash movement which began in 1957.

It's a mystery to me
The game commences
For the usual fee
Plus expenses
Confidential information
It's in a diary
This is my investigation
It's not a public inquiry
I go checking out the report
Digging up the dirt
You get to meet all sorts
In this line of work
Treachery and treason
There's always an excuse for it
And when I find the reason
I still can't get used to it
And what have you got at the end of the day?
What have you got to take away?
A bottle of whisky and a new set of lies
Blinds on the window and a pain behind the eyes
Scarred for life
No compensation
Private investigations

[Final Scene from *2001: A Space Odyssey* (1968)]
"It's all bound to end in tears."
~~Wolfgang Pauli, a Nobelist quantum physicist
19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by
morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation
only [to] understand the report.
20 For the bed is shorter than that [a man] can stretch himself [on it]: and
the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself [in it].
21 For the LORD shall rise up as [in] mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as
[in] the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and
bring to pass his act, his strange act.
22 Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I
have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a consumption, even determined upon
the whole earth.
(Old Testament | Isaiah 28:19 - 22)
