The Jeans mass is named after the British physicist Sir James Jeans, who considered the process of gravitational collapse within a gaseous cloud. He was able to show that, under appropriate conditions, a cloud, or part of one, would become unstable and begin to collapse when it lacked sufficient gaseous pressure support to balance the force of gravity.
Jeans married twice, first to the American poet Charlotte Tiffany Mitchell in 1907, who died, [14] and then to the Austrian organist and harpsichordist Suzanne Hock (better known as Susi Jeans) in 1935. Susi and Jeans had three children: George, Christopher, and Catherine. [15] As a birthday present for his wife, he wrote the book Science and ...

The book was denounced by the Cambridge philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, because "Jeans has written a book called The Mysterious Universe and I loathe it and call it misleading. Take the title...I might say that the title The Mysterious Universe includes a kind of idol worship, the idol being Science and the Scientist."

As the Jeans Instability is the more general page, it should be kept. But I think it should be merged carefully as there's a lot of good stuff in the Jeans mass which needs to come over. -- H2g2bob 17:19, 5 June 2006 (UTC) [ reply ]
