Jeans James

    Sir James Jeans war ein britischer Physiker, Astronom und Mathematiker, dessen Werk sich mit Quantentheorie, Strahlungstheorie und Sternentwicklung befasste. Er war ein Pionier der britischen Kosmologie und experimentierte mit der Steady-State-Theorie. Nach seiner Pensionierung wurde er zu einem beliebten Wissenschaftskommunikator, insbesondere in den Bereichen Relativitätstheorie und Kosmologie. Sein Buch 'Physik und Philosophie' untersuchte die Beziehung zwischen Wissenschaft und philosophischen Realitätsanschauungen.
