On Modern Physics by Max Born, Erwin Schrödinger, Pierre Auger Werner

By Max Born, Erwin Schrödinger, Pierre Auger Werner Heisenberg

The e-book is an English translation of an Italian translation of unique talks in German, or of the French translation of the German unique (one case, the Born lecture)...

The public lectures got at 3 assorted Rencontres internationales de Genève in 1952, 1957 and 1958, as follows [chronological order]:

* Erwin Schrödinger, 1952, added in German, released in unique German plus a French precis, as 'Unsere Vorstellung von der Materie', in Rencontres internationales de Genève vol. 7, L'Homme devant los angeles technological know-how, Les Éditions de l. a. Baconnière, Neuchâtel, 1952, pp. 31-54.
* Pierre Auger, 1952, brought and released in French as 'Les méthodes et les limites de l. a. connaissance scientifique.' on the similar conference/same ebook as Schrödinger's, pp.55-80.
* Max Born, 1957, introduced in German, released in French translation as 'Réflexions d’un homme de technological know-how européen' in Rencontres internationales de Genève vol. 12, L'Europe et le Monde d'Aujourd'hui, Les Éditions de l. a. Baconnière, Neuchâtel, 1958, pp. 29-48; unique German seemed as 'Europäische Betrachtungen eines Naturforschers', Universitas, 13/3, S.225-240, Stuttgart 1958
* Werner Heisenberg, 1958, introduced in German, released in unique German plus a French precis, as 'Die Plancksche Entdeckung und die philosophischen' in Rencontres internationales de Genève vol. thirteen, L'Homme et l'atome, Les Éditions de los angeles Baconnière, Neuchâtel, 1958, pp. 37-60; debate pp. 189-203.

There exists one probability of finding an electron in the excited hydrogen atom, another of finding the nucleus deprived of its electron. A nd these probabilities are fixed and cannot be modified. The hydrogen atom that is 40 found after the collision is, however, no longer exactly what it was before. It is in fact known that, when an inter­ action contains enough energy, there exists the probability that the hydrogen is not found again, but instead some­ thing completely different is found. Several different cases are possible, and these cases are connected among them­ selves by relations of probability.

In classi­ cal physics, where the phenomena are objective, the tradi­ tional language of physics can be used, that is, the language of every day. In modern physics, however, the mathemati­ cal structures that are met with indicate the probability of a phenomenon and not the phenomenon itself. A nd , in this sense, in classical physics, it is the act which is sought in the phenomenon, while “ potentia” is to be correlated with the mathematical structures. Daniel Christoff Can it be said that this “ potentia” has a profound origin?

This is called the packing effect. Moreover, the forces are of course not electric ones— these are indeed repellent— but so-called nuclear forces, which are much stronger but act only at very small dis­ tances (about 10-13 cm . ) . 51 3. W ave field and particle: their experimental demonstration Here you catch me in a contradiction, because I said at the very beginning that today we no longer assume that forces and fields of force are something different from matter. I could easily excuse myself by saying: the field of force of a particle is calculated with the particle.
