Adriaan Daniël Fokker 1887 -1972 Was A Dutch Physicist. He Worked In The Fields Of Special Relativity And Statistical Mechanics. Fokker Was Born In Buitenzorg Dutch East Indies Now Bogor Indonesia. He Was A Cousin Of The Aeronautical Engineer Anthony Fokker. Fokker Studied Mining Engineering At The Delft University Of Technology And Physics At The University Of Leiden With Hendrik Lorentz Where He Earned His Doctorate In 1913. He Continued His Studies With Albert Einstein Ernest Rutherford And William Bragg. In His 1913 Thesis He Derived The Fokker-Planck Equation Along With Max Planck. After His Military Service During World War I He Returned To Leiden As Lorentz' And Ehrenfest's Assistant. Fokker Became A Physics Teacher At The Gymnasium Of Delft After 1918 And Was Appointed In 1923 As The First Professor Of Applied Physics At The Technische Hoogeschool Delft Today Delft University Of Technology. In 1928 Fokker Succeeded Hendrik Lorentz As Director Of Research At Teylers Museum In Haarlem. Fokker Made Several Contributions To Special Relativity And Some Less Well-Known Contributions To General Relativity Particularly In The Area Of Geodetic Precession The Phenomena Of Precession Of A Freely Falling Gyroscope In A Gravitational Field.Fokker Began To Study Music Theory During The Second World War When The University Of Leiden Was Closed; Partly This Was Due To A Desire To Convince The Nazis He Would Be Of No Use To The War Effort And Partly It Was A Response To Reading The Work Of Christiaan Huygens On The 31 Equal Temperament. In 1938 Fokker - Along With Dirk Coster And Otto Hahn - Helped Jewish-Born Physicist Lise Meitner Escape From Austria To The Netherlands. "Fokker And Coster Both Knew That University Positions Were Virtually Unavailable For Foreigners. Laboratory Space Was Not A Problem However Either In Groningen Or Haarlem. 'Perhaps We Can Tap Colleagues For Regular Contributions' Coster Suggested. Fokker Set A Goal Of F.20000 Enough To Support Meitner For Five Years And Immediately Began Contacting Colleagues For Advice And Donations." They Were Unsuccessful In Obtaining Funding But Fokker Succeeded In Getting Official Permission For Meitner To Leave Although He Was Unable To Telegraph That To Her Due To Secrecy. She Escaped Barely In Time To Evade Arrest. The Year 1942 Consequently Marked A Turning Point In His Life; After Then He Wrote Many Pieces In 31-Equal Which Are Notable For Using The 7Th Harmonic As A Consonant Interval 31-Equal Has A Much Better Approximation Of The 7Th Harmonic Than The Ubiquitous 12-Equal.

An Issue Devoted To Articles About The Zeeman Effect And The Resulting Applications In Many Fields. George Ellery Hale's Article Is In English. Inscribed "Ueberreicht Von Paschen U Beck" At Top Of Front Cover. "In 1921 Two Experimental Physicists In Tübingen Friedrich Paschen 1865-1947 And Ernst Back 1881-1959 Observed That With Strongly Increasing Magnetic Field Strength The Complicated Multiplets Of The Anomalous Zeeman Effect Change Into The Simpler Patterns Typical Of The Normal Zeeman Effect See Fig. 1. Initially This Observation Remained Inexplicable. With The Discovery Of Spin In Late 1925 However And The Realization That The Anomalous Zeeman Effect Is Characteristic Of Systems With Spin S >0 Whereas The Normal Zeeman Effect Governs Atoms With A Total S = 0 The Paschen-Back Effect Could Be Understood As A Decoupling Of S And Orbital Angular Momentum L Since The Influence Of The Total Spin Becomes Neglectable For Diminishing Spin-Orbit Coupling."

Per Wikipedia Philipp Frank 1884 -1966 Was An Austrian-American Physicist Mathematician And Philosopher Of The Early-To-Mid 20Th Century. He Was A Logical Positivist And A Member Of The Vienna Circle. He Was Influenced By Mach And Was One Of The Machists Criticised By Lenin In Materialism And Empirio-Criticism. He Studied Physics At The University Of Vienna And Graduated In 1907 With A Thesis In Theoretical Physics Under The Supervision Of Ludwig Boltzmann. He Joined The Faculty There In 1910. Albert Einstein Recommended Him As His Successor For A Professorship At The German Charles-Ferdinand University Of Prague A Position Which He Held From 1912 Until 1938. Doctoral Students Included Reinhold Furth And Peter Bergmann. In 1938 He Was Invited By Harvard University To America As A Visiting Lecturer On Quantum Theory And The Philosophy Of Modern Physics. The Germans Having Invaded Czechoslovakia As He Was About To Begin His Scheduled Lecture Tour Frank A Jew Never Returned To His Position At Prague. And Instead Became A Lecturer On Physics And Mathematics At Harvard From That Year Until His Retirement In 1954. In 1947 He Founded The Institute For The Unity Of Science As Part Of The American Academy Of Arts And Sciences Aaas. This Arose After Howard Mumford Jones Then President Of The Aaas Had Issued A Call To Overcome The Fractionalization Of Knowledge Which He Felt The Aaas Well Suited To Address. The Institute Held Regular Meetings Attracting A Broad Range Of Participants. Quine Regarded The Organisation As A "Vienna Circle In Exile". Politically Frank Was A Socialist.
