This brief, general review the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (S-Z) effect includes a description of the calculation of the total intensity change and polarization components, a discussion of the basic properties of the S-Z power spectrum and cluster…
The paper deals with the 2-D system of gas dynamics without pressure which was introduced in 1970 by Ya.Zeldovich to describe the formation of large-scale structure of the Universe. Such system occurs to be an intermediate object between…
In this paper, I aim to clarify the unconscious ideologies and attitudes held by physicists through Prigogine's work. Prigogine was an outstanding chemist and physicist who made significant contributions to the development of…
2023 year marks the hundredth birth anniversary of prominent Russian mathematician and thinker Igor Rostislavovich Shafarevich (1923-2017). The article presents a selection of quotations from various works of him, devoted to the future of…
I review Stanley Mandelstam's many contributions to particle physics, quantum field theory and string theory covering the years 1955 through 1980. His more recent work will be reviewed by Nathan Berkovits. This is my contribution to the…
This article celebrates the 40th anniversary of Dr. Ivan Dmitrievich Remizov, a mathematician who made a number of important contributions to the theory of one-parameter operator semigroups -- a branch of functional analysis which has…
The master student at Lomonosov University in Moscow E.P. Velikhov formulated 1959 the theory of magnetorotational instability, which dominates current astrophysics. A meteoric career made him later the science, nuclear and disarmament…
Twenty years ago, in October 1990, I found myself attending a workshop on Theoretical Physics in Chernomorka (Ukraine) intended only for Soviet physicists. That trip to the USSR/CCCP as well as the preceding months at CERN were highly…
We start this short note by remembering the beginnings of the Warsaw School of Quantum Optics, evidently stimulated by Iwo Bialynicki-Birula at the Warsaw University, and then Centre for Theoretical Physics of Polish Academy of Sciences,…
This is a brief introduction to the life and ideas of the Lithuanian-German physicist, philosopher and religious thinker Max B. Weinstein, who is today best known for his thoughts concerning so-called pandeism. An accomplished theoretical…
With each passing year, the young Albert Einstein's achievements in physics in the year 1905 seem to be ever more miraculous. We describe why the centenary of this remarkable year is worthy of celebration.
Today, February 11, is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, the perfect day to remember Mileva Mari\'{c} Einstein, a brilliant but largely unknown scientist. While her husband, Albert Einstein is celebrated as perhaps the…
Contribution to the volume "In Memory of Steven Weinberg" to appear in Nuclear Physics B.
Remarks at the Irving Kaplansky Memorial about a collaboration during the early period of the renewal of contacts between mathematicians and theoretical physicists.
John Barton was one of the experimental founders of particle astrophysics, working in deep underground locations all over the world. This note combines the obituary published in The Independent with a complete list of his publications.
In the period from about 1890 to 1915 an interdisciplinary and unifying research programme known as "cosmical physics" attracted much scientific and public attention. It typically included aspects of the earth sciences (such as magnetic…
In this manuscript we present a brief life history of Ludwig Edward Boltzmann and his achivements. Particularly, we discuss his H-theorem, his work on entropy and statistical interpretation of second-law of thermodynamics. We point out his…
Nuclear Astrophysics is a field at the intersection of nuclear physics and astrophysics, which seeks to understand the nuclear engines of astronomical objects and the origin of the chemical elements. This white paper summarizes progress and…
The two of us have shared a fascination with James Victor Uspensky's 1937 textbook $Introduction \, to \, Mathematical \, Probability$ ever since our graduate student days: it contains many interesting results not found in other books on…
Ideological considerations have always influenced science, but rarely as directly and massively as in the Soviet Union during the early Cold War period. Cosmology was among the sciences that became heavily politicized and forced to conform…
