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.
For example, Georg Joos reprised Miller's experiment using a very similar setup (the arms of his interferometer were 21 m vs. the 32 m in the Miller experiment) and obtained results that were 1/50 the magnitude of those from Miller's (see Michelson–Morley experiment#Subsequent experiments).
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.
On 22 April 1939, after hearing a colloquium paper by his colleague Wilhelm Hanle at the University of Göttingen proposing the use of uranium fission in an Uranmaschine (uranium machine, i.e., nuclear reactor), Georg Joos, along with Hanle, notified Wilhelm Dames, at the Reichserziehungsministerium (REM, Reich Ministry of Education), of potential military and economic applications of nuclear ...
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 .

New theoretical advances are discussed in E. Joos, HD Zeh, C. Kiefer, D. Giulini, J. Kupsch, I.-O. Stamatescu. [9] These decoherence theories have been combined with modern experiments, particularly those done by the groups of Serge Haroche (Paris) and Anton Zeilinger (Innsbruck, Vienna), in an attempt to use the measurement process in quantum ...
