Sir James Jeans, a view from the first half of 20c.[edit]
The Wikisource page[4] for James Hopwood Jeans (1877–1946) mentions him as the author (J. H. Je) of the article "Molecule” for the Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition,[5] and that his other published works included:
- 1904. The Dynamical Theory of Gases
- 1906. Theoretical Mechanics
- 1908. Mathematical Theory of Electricity and Magnetism
- 1947. The Growth of Physical Science
The Wikiquote page:[6] includes,
- from The Mysterious Universe: "...we are unlikely to reach any definite conclusions on these questions until we have a better understanding of the true nature of time." (1930 ed.) "...our main contention can hardly be that the science of to-day has a pronouncement to make, perhaps it ought rather to be that science should leave off making pronouncements: the river of knowledge has too often turned back on itself." (Pelican Books 1938 reprint of 1931 2nd ed.)
- from Physics and Philosophy (1942): "Physics and philosophy are at most a few thousand years old, but probably have lives of thousands of millions of years stretching away in front of them.... to many it is not knowledge but the quest for knowledge that gives the greater interest to thought - to travel hopefully is better than to arrive."
