3.0 out of 5 stars
A good ,well reseached biography,
By R. Bagula "Roger L. Bagula" (Lakeside, Ca United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Rabi: Scientist and Citizen (Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Series) (Paperback)
My Life and Times as a Physicist is an autobiographical link. I would rate this higher as the research is very good and well footnoted, but I feel the work Dr. Rabi did is not well represented using words alone as so much of it involves quantum mechanical equations and field equations. He can say it was difficult to believe the magnetic moment of the proton in words all he likes, but that until we associated the proton with the Gell-Mann quark group SU(3) or Cartan A_2 in the 60's, we just had no real idea of why?! Dr. Rabi wasn't named among the Los Alamos scientists, but was there as Oppenheimer's true friend.
In point of fact Mathematical Physics loses a lot when the mathematics is left out. |
