Hi Folks, Where can I find a translated copy of Einstein's paper on GR? I found his 1905 paper on SR, but can't seem to locate his GR paper. Thanks in advance, Kevin

I've been given the opportunity to write programs for two different professors working on separate papers (one math, one physics), and when published they say they will list me as a coauthor. With the first, I sort of resisted a little, because I don't see the amount of work I did as really...

I was reading some studies that found bpa in a great variety of papers. It is scaring me. I already don't use unknown plastics, PVC and polycarbonate plastics. I don't eat anything from cans. Now I am thinking in I how can avoid paper. Those estrogens are everywhere ! And there is the soy. Soy...

The fourth quarter 2013 has already seen an interesting bunch of Loop gravity research papers. I'll list a few and say why I think they are remarkable. Some make meaningful progress along established lines, while one or more others take an unexpected direction and are clearly exceptional...

Like there have been audio (layman) books.

I'm currently a 2nd year undergrad, looking to decide which physics field to make a career out of. I'm interested in Astrophysics & Cosmology - but I don't know much about what is currently going on in these areas of science. I thought that the best way to get some idea would be to read some...

Where and how can I find these two papers ? P. Debye, Physik. Z., 1920, 21, 178 H. Falckenhagen, Physik. Z., 1922, 23, 87 Thank you. Regards

I am taking a first year molecular/cell biology course and the lab reports I write all require references to peer-reviewed and (preferably) up-to-date papers. Does anyone have suggestions for websites where I can find such papers, and 'how' to search for them? One problem I'm encountering is...

or vice versa? does the language barrier impede the exchange of knowledge?

Hello all, Suppose I want to find all publications by X author. What is the best way to do this? I am overwhelmed by all the options out there. Also, how does it all work? What I mean by this is, when you publish something, say in Phys. Rev., does Web of Knowledge and Arxiv get automatically...

I'm developing a collection of historical papers that students of cosmology would find handy for essays etc . Any links to such papers would be great. Preference on original reprints where possible Here is what I have located thus far. Any papers must be allowed for distribution without...

I'm looking for a collection of foundational papers (in English translation) on QFT/QED -- something like van der Waerden's excellent collection of foundational QM papers, but going beyond -- eg Dirac and Jordan's early work with EM field quantization, on through Yukawa and Feynman, and ideally...

Hey, I have been put in the position in which I have required to write a formal 'critique' of a physics related journal article. The catch is that I am limited to more basic theories as the people who will be reading the critique are from the facaulty of arts, which blew all of my ideas out...

In your experience, how often does it happen that a submitted paper is accepted for publication without being sent back to the author for revision? I was speaking with the former editor of a notable journal in my field and he said that during his multi-year tenure he only saw one paper be...

Hey all, I was looking for some older papers by Einstein and De Sitter from around 1916 and my search is coming up blank. Google (Scholar) is not returning anything useful, the journal archives don't go nearly so far back, the particular volumes are not on archive.org, and even my local...

How do you submit a scientific paper and who do you submit it to?

Over in the Quantum Physics forums, we occasionally have threads involving rigged Hilbert space -- a.k.a. Gel'fand triple: ##\Omega \subset H \subset \Omega'## where ##H## is a Hilbert space, ##\Omega## a dense subspace thereof such that certain unbounded continuous-spectrum operators are...

The hardest part about an education in physics (in my opinion which is admittedly underdeveloped) is changing from classroom learning to research and reading academic papers. The SPS at my school is trying to put together some material to introduce undergrads to academic papers. I am hoping to...

Now it's very easy to write mathematical symbols and print them but how the physicists like Einstein, Schrodinger, Dirac, Haisenberg, Bohr and others at that time were writting papers. How people were writting any books that include mathematical symbols at all? What kind of technology did they use?

I have something like 1500 papers on my PC and it is hard to keep track of all of them. I've painstakingly organized them all into about 10 categorized folders, and named them all by first author's name + title + year. I then put it all in cloud storage so that I can access it anywhere and don't...

I am writing my first paper in applied mathematics.I would like to know how important is it to write a analytical proof for the numerical solutions arrived?I always thought these sort of things were left to the 'pure mathematicians' and one didn't need to bother.As a engineer,I was always used...

reading these new jacobsen papers, yesterday. a few questions came up Does Jacobsen tries to solve Cosmological constant problem with these papers ? http://arxiv.org/pdf/1212.6821.pdf

Three papers by diederick Aerts. Any ideas ?... http://arxiv.org/abs/1212.0107 On the Foundations of the Theory of Evolution Diederik Aerts, Stan Bundervoet, Marek Czachor, Bart D'Hooghe, Liane Gabora, Philip Polk, Sandro Sozzo (Submitted on 1 Dec 2012) Darwinism conceives evolution as a...

In another thread (on Oppenheimer-Snyder collapse), I posted a link to some lecture notes on gravitational collapse. Checking on the author, I find he is extremely prolific on many fundamental areas of GR (from the computational standpoint). Of particular interest...

The recent report from the South Pole Telescope seemed to several of us to be exceptionally interesting making one think we might have a thread that just lists recent papers, as they come out, which seem as if they might be important to cosmology. Here are a few. http://arxiv.org/abs/1210.7231 A...

Does anyone have a link to Einstein's original papers translated into English? I'm looking for his paper on the photo electric effect, but you would think there would be a comprehensive site that contained them all.

Hey guys basically as the title says, I have been recently trying to find these papers but I have had no luck. All I seem to get is articles from Magazines like New Scientist and Scientific American. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance MattA147. :)

Please tell me a website where I can find latest research papers in classical mechanics.

This is perhaps a stupid question, but I'm an academic in a (non-physics) field where the references in a paper's bibliography are usually cited in a form like: H. T. Smith, F. R. Jones, B. T. Sun - "A New Determination of Molecular Dimensions" , Journal of Important Studies, 54(2), 2012 If I...

I'm an A level student, and one that doesn't usually write much in school other than the odd word between squiggles and numbers. (I'm studying maths, further maths, physics and electronics.) But now I find myself in the position of writing two different essays, which should be good, as it's...

Hi! I'am young and am very excited about Physics. I would like to read the research papers written by famous physicists like Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein. I have been looking for websites which feature these papers for free, but in vain. Can anyone please help me with a link toa...

Hello all, I was just wondering if anyone could give me links to any websites that allow anyone to post their own papers. My apologies if I seem like a 'newbie', as I have not before posted a paper online. Any helpful responses are welcomed, thank you

(Maybe this should be in general discussion?) As the title said: how do you organize your papers? I'm curious to hear what works from some academic veterans. I've been accumulating more and more papers and have since run into trouble finding certain ones. Do you sort by author, by...

Hello, My name is Holly... I'm new here... so i have no idea weather I put this in the right section! D: ... Sorry if so :3 Basically, I have been put to the task of writing a paper on String Theory and weather or weather not String Theory/ M-Theory (i can do either one, will do the...

we see many physicists have publsihed hundreds of papers like John Ellis, Edward Witten, Sankar Das sarma, ... how they can publish that number of papers with high impact factor i am very wondering

Well, not new insights, but at least new paper and a new face: http://arxiv.org/abs/1204.0328 Particle Physics from Almost Commutative Spacetimes by Koen van den Dungen, Walter D. van Suijlekom the veteran in the team is van Suijlekom and it seems that he is pushing forward with some...

...Stuff publicly available on on arxiv, pubmed etc. I quite often dig around in google scholar but i really don't stand a chance of interpreting how relevant any particular paper is to it's field. 'Summary' papers can be quite enlightening in that they outline where stuff might potentially...

I have many papers in pdf form and fail at organizing them in a way I can find them efficiently. Any suggestions?

It is my understanding that the big bang is not a theory of the origins of the energy of the universe, but is a theory of the origin of the structure of the universe (ie, it's early evolution). Also, I understand that it is a common misconception that the big bang is a theory of the absolute...

I have been tardy in realizing the interest/significance of some 2011 and 2012 papers co-authored by Valentin Bonzom with various people (Alok Laddha, Rivasseau, Livine, Gurau, Smerlak,...). Maybe some others here have been more alert and seen this already. I simply want to rectify the...

For example, you graduated in Engineering and not directly physics course. How do you publish physics papers? What journals accept these and those quite strict and what are the requirements? Do they need a requirement that you must be a Ph.D. in Physics?

Homework Statement - 3c(i) A radioactive source is known to emit two types of radation. To find out which types, the apparatus shown below was set up. Three different materials were, in turn, places between the source and the detector. Here it shows source, absorber, detector and...

It seems Nobel Prizez were mostly given for killer papers written like "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies". Is it a Stockholm rule that it must be published in paper and not in books? How many Nobel Prize Winners conveyed the ideas in a book and not a paper. And what is the advantage of a...

Hi everyone! I need to draw a bunch of figures for my papers but i don't know how to use professional software like photoshop, 3dmax, maya, ...of course as you know, the figures must be pretty and accurate. i need to one which is powerful but simple to use does anyone has any suggestion...

Is there a good free/cheap editor for easily/rapidly writing equations? I need to write 3+ papers in the next 2 months and they all have a lot of matrices and equations with indices and all those things that take forever to enter in using MS Word. I hate spending hours on entering that stuff...

Sifting the 4th qtr Loop-and-allied QG papers Here's a tentative lineup of papers that could appear in the 4th quarter MIP poll, in case anyone wants to look it over and comment. As in past years the MIP poll covers Loop-and-allied approaches to Quantum Gravity---our picks as to which paper...

Interesting collection of Newton papers including notebooks and his own copy of the Principia Mathematica: http://cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/collections/Newton

Hi, Not sure if this is the place to ask, but if you have one paper published under J.Bloggs, and another under Joe Bloggs on the arxiv is there a way to consolidate things such that if someone clicks your name on one paper all papers will come up? or make it so if someone searches for...

I posted this a few weeks back in General Physics, but didn't get any bites -- I still can't find the "move" feature, so preemptive apologies for any breach of etiquette... I could swear that a few months ago, there were dozens of papers by Dirac available on archive.org -- page after page of...

Just like there's LaTeX for writing math papers and LaTeX editors to parse it, is there anything for writing papers in programming? Specifically a nice way to automatically format code.
