Talk:Pyotr Kapitsa

message: According to this Russian page, after Kapitsa was prevented to return to England with his wife and children, they moved back to Moscow to live with him. The Russian page is apparently a translation of an encyclopedic article in English published first by the H.W. Wilson Company in 1987. The Russian article also states that he had already visited Russia several times during his time in England and that Soviet officials had tried to convince him to remain in Russia. While he had expressed interest in such proposals, he had requested guarantees , such as the freedom to travel freely to the west, that were deemed unacceptable. In  The legacy of Stalin and Stalinism: A historiographical survey of the literature, 1930-1990, Canadian Journal of History, Apr. 1994, T. R.Ravindranathan tersely writes that "Kapitsa decided to stay in the Soviet Union in the summer of 1934 despite the fact that he already had a new laboratory, house, wife, and family in Cambridge". The Russian page also states that in 1941 Kapitsa drew "public attention" (whatever that may have meant in Stalin's Russia) to the possibility of developing nuclear weapons. In 1945 Kapitsa was a member of the Soviet "Special Committee"  to solve the nuclear problem (p.24 of ). He was dismissed from the Soviet nuclear program after he sent a letter to Stalin where he sharply criticised Beria (p. 56 of  ), “comrade Beria’s basic weakness is that the conductor ought not only to wave the baton, but also to understand the score. In this respect Beria is weak” (p.19). Other material that may beef up the picture is Kapitsa's letter (Oct. 25, 1943, quoted in ref. [2]) to Bohr (who was preparing to escape from Nazi-occupied Denmark) inviting him to the Soviet Union.  L'omo del batocio 12:32, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Firstly, I'm copying a conversation I had on User:Languagehat's talk page:
: Hi, Languagehat.  May I ask you about this edit?
: There was a 12-day gap in the calendars in the 19th century; it increased to 13 days only in March 1900. So, 26 June 1894 Julian does not correspond to 9 July 1904 Gregorian, because that gap is 13 days.  We know his birth date is 9 July, but I've always been unsure whether this was a Gregorian date (= 27 June, Julian), or a Julian date (= 21 July, Gregorian).  You seem to believe it was a Gregorian date.  What lead you to form that conclusion?  Cheers.  --  Jack of Oz  ... speak! ...  09:58, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Richard C. Tolman

message: John Barrow and Frank Tipler write that the 20th century marriage of cosmology and thermodynamics, the area where Hawking and other contemporary British cosmologists have made their reputations, actually began with Tolman's 1934 monograph (which Dover keeps in print; was this the first American exposition of general relativity??). I read that that monograph was considered very difficult in its day (if only because of its free use of tensors), but cannot recall where. Tolman was arguably the finest American cosmologist before Wheeler, Dicke, and Peebles ushered in the contemporary American excellence in cosmology. Tolman definitely proved that electricity is electrons flowing through wires, and gave Linus Pauling his first taste in quantum theory. A fine and eclectic career. Yet this powerful theoretical physicist did his degrees in chemical engineering! Tolman's deep understanding of statistical mechanics brings to mind Willard Gibbs, who was still alive when Tolman was an undergrad.123.255.29.254 (talk) 02:38, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Alp Arslan/Archive 1

message: This is a puzzler. According to the first sentence, Alp Arslan died 15 November 1072; however, towards the end of the article (well, the copy I had before I editted it), he died either immediately after a severe wound by Yussuf el-Harezmi, or 4 days afterwards, on November 25 of the same year.
Can someone explain this difference? Or at least state which is the correct date? -- llywrch 02:40, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Date of Death

message: I can't edit this now, but I'd like to point out that this article is obviously biased. It talks about Alp Arslan's "greatness as a human being because of his treatment of the prisoners," suggests a career paralleling great conquerors (?), and contains other flattering or suspicious phrases. For one thing, I know he committed "many massacres" in Armenia; I can't quite imagine he would be as great, either in stature or in humanity, that this article makes him out to be. Brutannica 06:24, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Not that I am a big fan of Alp Arslan but, even if he did order massacre of the Armenians, Alp Arslan is still not the only ruthless monarch of ancient times who is revered as a great ruler today, right? What did Alexander the Great do when he conquered Persepolis? How did Caesar treat the conquered celtic people? As much as I hate seeing people making up funny stories about old rulers for a proof of greatness, I hate seeing someone complain about 1000 year old maltreatment too. Yeah right as if Romanos Diogenes had won, he would not have invaded turkish, arabian or persian lands massacering inhabitants...74.132.201.115 08:21, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
