Georg Joos ( 25.05. 1894 - 20.05.1959); full professor for experimental physics at Technical University of Munich. Georg Jakob Christof Joos (25 May 1894 in Bad Urach, German Empire – 20 May 1959 in Munich, West Germany) was a German experimental physicist.
By producing high-resolution diffraction gratings in a basement room at Zeiss, Franz Meyer came into contact with Georg Joos, who had been a professor of theoretical physics at the University of Jena since 1924. Joos wanted to experimentally prove that Einstein's theory of relativity was exactly valid despite apparently contradictory results.
Theoretical physics is a branch of physics that employs mathematical models and abstractions of physical objects and systems to rationalize, explain, and predict natural phenomena. This is in contrast to experimental physics , which uses experimental tools to probe these phenomena.
Lectures on Theoretical Physics is a six-volume series of physics textbooks translated from Arnold Sommerfeld's classic German texts Vorlesungen über Theoretische Physik. The series includes the volumes Mechanics , Mechanics of Deformable Bodies , Electrodynamics , Optics , Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics , and Partial Differential ...
In relativistic quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, the Joos–Weinberg equation is a relativistic wave equation applicable to free particles of arbitrary spin j, an integer for bosons (j = 1, 2, 3 ...
An early experimenter of X-rays, Miller was an advocate of aether theory and absolute space and an opponent of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity. Born in Ohio to Charles Webster Dewey and Vienna Pomeroy Miller, he graduated from Baldwin University in 1886 and obtained a doctorate in astronomy at Princeton University under Charles A. Young ...
At Jena, Georg Joos was professor of theoretical physics, but in 1935, he made a compulsory transfer to head the Second Physical Institute at Göttingen to replace James Franck, who had resigned as a result of the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service in 1933. [8]
The deutsche Physik movement was anti-Semitic and anti-theoretical physics. As applied in the university environment, political factors took priority over the historically applied concept of scholarly ability, [ 12 ] even though its two most prominent supporters were the Nobel Laureates in Physics Philipp Lenard [ 13 ] and Johannes Stark .
