  • Physical Significance of Entropy: Of The Second Law

    by John Frederick Klein ...
    This article is intended for those students of engineering who already have some elementary knowledge of thermodynamics. It is intended to clear up a difficulty that has beset every earnest beginner of this subject. The difficulty is not one of application to engineering problems, although here too there have been widespread misconceptions, for the expressions developed by CLAUSIUS are simple, ... Read more

  • Physical significance of entropy or of the second law

    by John Frederick Klein ...
    In the Introduction to this article we called attention to the two distinct modes of attacking any physical problem. Now the conception "state of a body" varies with the chosen mode of attack. Of course as both modes are legitimate and lead to correct results, these differences in the conception of "state" can be reconciled and a broader definition reached. We can illustrate these different ... Read more

  • Space, Time and Gravitation: An Outline of the General Relativity Theory

    by Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington ...
    By his theory of relativity Albert Einstein has provoked a revolution of thought in physical science.The achievement consists essentially in this:|Einstein has succeeded in separating far more completely than hitherto the share of the observer and the share of external nature in the things we see happen. The perception of an object by an observer depends on his own situation and circumstances; for ... Read more
