9 de mai. de 2024 · At Princeton, with his adviser, John Archibald Wheeler, he developed an approach to quantum mechanics governed by the principle of least action. This approach replaced the wave-oriented electromagnetic picture developed by James Clerk Maxwell with one based entirely on particle interactions mapped in space and time.
Há 1 dia · John Archibald and Janette Wheeler also had a summer home in the Northeast. A biographical memoir written by Kip Thorne, a former student, describes how Wheeler, who is credited with coining the term “black hole,” often sought to get away from his daily life in Princeton to think more clearly or focus on his work.
27 de mai. de 2024 · The renowned John Archibald Wheeler (Princeton) once (the 1960's) said "Matter tells space-time how to curve, space-time tells matter how to move" This expresses the intimate, "nonlinear", relationship between matter and space-time curvature.
Há 2 dias · Feynman received a PhD from Princeton in 1942; his thesis advisor was John Archibald Wheeler.
15 de mai. de 2024 · The Landauer principle bridges John Archibald Wheeler’s “it from bit” paradigm and thermodynamics. Experimental verifications of the Landauer principle are surveyed. The interrelation between thermodynamic and logical irreversibility is addressed.
14 de mai. de 2024 · By analytically solving the Teukolsky gravitational wave equation for the spacetime of an ultracompact star of constant density, we derive exact and simple formulae that completely describe weakly...
Há 4 dias · The notion of spontaneous fission had been raised by Niels Bohr and John Archibald Wheeler in their 1939 treatment of the mechanism of nuclear fission. The first attempt to discover spontaneous fission in uranium was made by Willard Libby, but he failed to detect it.
