``Re: Just a sugestion'' by ETGalante on 2005-03-31 19:42:51
Hello. Here I am again.

It is very nice to know that here in PP we have the opportunity to discuss the history of such an important and wonderful science as Physics.

I would like to suggest to initiate the discussion in the forum of History of Physics (in this centenary year of the Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity) by asking some questions that I enumerate as follows (forgive me my terrible bad english):

1) Why the transformation's equations of Special Relativity are called "Lorentz Equations"? Who was Lorentz? Which was his importance? Why the aether (lichtmedium) is really 'ad hoc'?

2) Do the General Theory of Relativity really incorporate the so called Mach's Principle? What is the Mach's principle? Who was Ernst Mach?

3) Do anybody can say something about the Kurt Gödel's solution for the general relativity equations?

Oh men! You can give me some attention or...just...some laughs! Thats OK!
Good luck and..
Thanks a lot!

Elias.
