griechische Wissenschaftler von der Antike bis heute

[BlackJack]

1995 !?! Junge junge ....

uff das hatte ich ja völlig vergessen ... er meint natürlich 1955, aber da hätte auch 2055 stehen können, wäre eh egal denn das ist sowieso ein fake

- - - Aktualisiert - - -

Also zum interview kenne ich mich persönlich nicht aus aber das Karatheodory Einstein wichtige zentrale Mathematische Lösungen für die Relativitätstheorie gegeben hat ist unbestritten.

Constantin Carathéodory ? Wikipedia
"Carathéodory lieferte fundamentale Ergebnisse in vielen Gebieten der Mathematik, insbesondere in der Theorie der partiellen Differentialgleichungen, der Funktionentheorie (Carathéodorysche Metrik) und der Maß- und Integrationstheorie.
Seine Beiträge zur Variationsrechnung, Funktionentheorie, geometrischen Optik, Thermodynamik sowie zur theoretischen Physik beeinflussten viele namhafte Mathematiker. Aus der Korrespondenz mit Albert Einstein geht hervor, dass Carathéodory diesem wichtige mathematische Erklärungen für seine Grundlegung der Relativitätstheorie geben konnte. Der neue Feldbegriff, den Carathéodory in die Variationsrechnung eingeführt hat, sollte große Folgen haben. Carathéodory leitete daraus eine Ungleichung ab, die 20 Jahre später unter anderem Namen als Bellmansche Gleichung oder Ungleichung in der mathematischen Welt Aufsehen erregt und die Grundlage wird für das Prinzip der Dynamischen Optimierung, und seither weit über die Mathematik hinausstrahlt."

Und das stimmt eben nicht, auch wenn das so da steht. Als 1916 Einstein und Carathéodory anfingen zu korrespondieren war die Allgemeine Relativitätstheorie in ihrer endgültigen Form bereits vollendet und veröffentlicht. Einstein hat die Allgemeine RT im Gegensatz zur Speziellen RT jahrelang offen entwickelt und mehrere male Zwischenergebnisse veröffentlicht, an den Diskussionen und Arbeiten daran hat Carathéodory nicht mitgewirkt.

Wie das Ganze tatsächlich zu werten ist zeigt vlt. die Tatsache, dass u.a. Carathéodory in der Bayerischen Akademie der Wissenschaften Einstein bei der Wahl zum "korrespondierenden Mitglied der Akademie" 1927 unterstützt hat. Der Vorschlagstext lautet:

"Einsteins Name ist weltbekannt geworden durch seine Relativitätstheorie, die eine neue Begründung der Raum- und Zeitvorstellung auf physikalischen Prinzipien und, als Folge davon, eine neue Mechanik und Gravitationstheorie bedeutet... Er ist nicht nur der berühmteste, sondern auch der tiefste Denker auf naturphilosophischem Gebiet seit Helmholtz und hat in den letzten 10 Jahren dem Ansehen der deutschen Wissenschaft mehr genützt, als irgendein anderer"

Der Wahlvorschlag vom 4. Februar 1927 stammte von seinem Fachkollegen Arnold Sommerfeld (1868 – 1951) und war mitunterzeichnet von sieben weiteren ordentlichen Mitgliedern, nämlich dem Astronomen Alexaner Wilkens (1881 – 1968), den Experimentalphysikern Wilhelm Wien (1864 – 1928) und Jonathan Zenneck (1871 – 1959), dem Astrophysiker und Meteorologen Robert Emden (1862 – 1940) sowie den Mathematikern Walther-Ritter von Dyck (1856 – 1934), Konstantin Carathéodory (1873 – 1950) und Georg Faber (1877 – 1966).

Ich habe nichts gegen Carathéodory und seine wissenschaftlichen Leistungen, Ehre wem Ehre gebührt, aber in Sachen des monumentalen Werkes Relativitätstheorie gebührt sie allein Albert Einstein.

Sie haben keine Berechtigung Anhänge anzusehen. Anhänge sind ausgeblendet.

Greek Scientist Sweeps International Awards

Dr. Christina Plainaki has been sweeping awards internationally for her great work in space research.
The young scientist from Crete, Greece, received the Alexander Chizhevsky award at the 11th European Space Weather Week held in Liege, Belgium, from November 17 to 21. The award was given to Plainaki by the Scientific Academies of Russia, Norway and Belgium.

Just a few months ago, the Greek scientist received the “Outstanding Young Scientist Award” for her contribution in the planetary physics and solar system fields.

Plainaki, who works at the Institute for Space Astrophysics and Planetology (INAF-IAPS) in Rome, Italy, completed her PhD thesis “Solar cosmic ray physics using neutron monitor and satellite data” in 2007 at the University of Athens, where she also studied for her bachelor and postgraduate degrees.
Later, she won a scholarship for postdoctoral research at INAF-IAPS, where she is now working as a temporary researcher.

Eureka! The Greek Spirit Behind the Archimedes Award


When the National Journal recently looked at why Greeks are more likely to own their own business than other ethnic groups in America, I was curious to learn what they would find.

As it turns out, the strengths that take Greeks to the top of the list are the same values I learned from my Greek immigrant parents while growing up in Cleveland, Ohio -- hard work, a deep respect for knowledge and education, a strong family, and a strong entrepreneurial drive.

These are the values that have sustained generation after generation of Greek immigrants, and buoyed the entire Greek American community on its way to becoming one of the most successful -- and the best educated of all -- ethnic groups in America.

Indeed, these are the values that we Greeks turn to, time and again, for strength, and for hope -- especially in dark and difficult times, such as those that trouble the land of our ancestors today.
And these are the values that continue to produce one Greek American success story after another.

Just look at their stories.

Look at the story of Roy Vagelos, a son of Greek immigrants, who, as a boy, was so impressed by all the chemists and engineers he met while clearing tables and sweeping floors at his parents' Greek diner -- and who grew up to become the CEO of Merck, the company where all those customers worked.

Or the story of George Hatsopoulos, who lived through the Nazi occupation of Greece, came to study in America where, for his Ph.D. thesis at MIT, he developed a revolutionary ion propulsion technology to take astronauts to Mars -- and went on to build the high-tech giant Thermo Electron as a result.

Or the story of George Mitchell, the son of Greek goatherd, who pioneered the shale gas recovery technology that is now transforming the American economy.

Or the story of a new arrival like George Logothetis, the bright young London-born entrepreneur who is building a global Greek empire based in New York.

Read their stories, and you will see that they share more than just a Greek background: they each carry a strong entrepreneurial spirit, a high value on higher education, and a conviction that hard work is part of a full life, well lived. These are the bedrock values that each of these Greeks have brought to our country.
And what do these sons of immigrants do with the rewards they receive from their hard work? They give back.

They give back through leadership: it was Roy Vagelos who led the pharmaceutical giant Merck in its effort to wipe out river blindness, a dreaded disease that once was the scourge of West Africa -- the kind of leadership that some have pointed to as a model for responding to the current Ebola crisis.

And they give back to education: from George Mitchell's bequest of over $400 million to scientific research and education, Dr. Vagelos' recent $50 million gift to medical education at Columbia University, and Dr. Hatsopoulos' sustained support of science education and his backing of entrepreneurial competitions at MIT -- to the venture philanthropy of George Logothetis, who, though not even 40 years old, is already three years into building a global program that offers next generation students career-changing internships.

Joining these modern Greek heroes today is yet another Greek American success story I'd like to share with you.

Three Percent of the World’s Top Scientists are Greek

Greeks may be only 0.2 percent of the world population but 3 percent of top international scientists are of Greek nationality, says a survey.
John Ioannidis, Professor of Medicine at Stanford University, conducted the research and presented it on Saturday at the Panhellenic Medical Conference in Athens.

Ioannidis gave a lecture in memory of prominent Doctor and Professor Dimitris Trichopoulos who died in December 2014.
The title was “The exodus of Greek scientists – a meta-analysis,” and the survey showed statistics for a total of 672 scientists
with Greek names who have the most influence in the international scientific bibliography. The professor used statistical data from the Google Scholar database.

On average, the 672 Greek scientists have received 17,000 reports each in the international scientific bibliography.
Only one in seven of them (14 percent) lived or live in Greece, 86 percent of them live abroad where several of them were born, and 33 of them have passed away.
In the wider scientific community there are about 20 million authors who have made at least one scientific publication.
Greek names represent about 1 percent of those, meaning 200,000, while Greek names represent 3 percent of all scientists.

The most ancient Greek scientist, Aristotle, is constantly used as a reference in the scientific bibliography.

Statistically, out of the 672 leading Greek scientists, only 95 (14 percent) are located in Greece. More than half (376 people or 56 percent) live and
work in the United States, 60 scientists (9 percent) in the United Kingdom, 31 in Canada, 24 in Germany, 20 in France, 19 in Switzerland, 17 in Australia,
9 in Cyprus, while 21 Greek scientists live and work in various other countries.

Most Greek scientists in the U.S. live and work in California (74), followed by Massachusetts (64), New York (62).
In Greece there are 48 scientists in various cities and 47 in Athens, in London, England there are 31 Greek scientists, 21 in Texas,
21 in Pennsylvania, 19 in Oxford and Cambridge, 17 in Connecticut and 15 live and work in Illinois.

Vicky Kalogera

EVANSTON, Ill. --- Northwestern University astrophysicist Vicky Kalogera has been awarded the 2016 Hans A. Bethe Prize from the American Physical Society (APS).
The top-level astrophysics and nuclear physics prize within APS, the honor recognizes outstanding work in theory, experiment or observation in the areas of astrophysics, nuclear physics, nuclear astrophysics or closely related fields. It is open to any scientist working in these areas worldwide.
Kalogera’s research focuses on the physics of compact astrophysical objects: white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes. She is particularly interested in binary systems, where two stars orbit each other. She studies how such systems are born, how they evolve and how their lives end.
“It’s a humbling honor to receive this award,” said Kalogera, who met Bethe in 1998. “Many of the past recipients are giants in the field, people whose work I have admired and read about since I first started learning about astrophysics and nuclear physics. And there are no words to express Bethe’s own wide-ranging and fundamental impact on the field.”
Kalogera is the Erastus O. Haven Professor and associate chair of the department of physics and astronomy in the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences. She also is director of the Center for Interdisciplinary Exploration and Research in Astrophysics (CIERA).
Kalogera is being recognized for “key contributions to the study of the electromagnetic and gravitational wave radiation from binary compact objects, including the now-verified prediction that neutron star mergers produce short gamma-ray bursts that will be found in all galaxy types.”
She will receive the prize at a ceremony during the April 2016 meeting of the APS.
In studying astrophysical objects in our own and other galaxies, Kalogera works on the theoretical understanding of current observations of an object’s electromagnetic emission and anticipated gravitational radiation -- the theoretical “ripples” in the fabric of spacetime first predicted by Albert Einstein 100 years ago. She is helping develop optimal methods to detect these energetic gravitational waves and to astrophysically interpret the signals.
Kalogera leads Northwestern’s collaboration with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO). This large-scale physics experiment and the planned Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) are expected to detect gravitational wave sources directly for the first time and open up the field of gravitational-wave astronomy.
Kalogera has won numerous awards for her research, including a Simons Foundation Fellowship and the Maria Goeppert-Mayer Award from the American Physical Society, a National Science Foundation CAREER award, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation Fellowship in Science and Engineering and the Cottrell Scholar Award. In 2008, she was named one of Astronomy Magazine’s Top 10 Rising Stars of Astronomy.
The author of more than 200 publications, Kalogera is a member of the American Astronomical Society and the American Physical Society. The National Science Foundation and NASA support her research.

OECD: Greece Among the ‘Smartest’ Countries in the World

The OECD released a list that ranks countries based on the highest number of scientists per capita in fields such as mathematics, physics, technology and engineering.
As it turns out Greece was placed among the 10 “smartest” countries in the world.

The first place was occupied by South Korea with 32% of students in the country studying in a scientific field, according to data from 2012. The country showed a significant drop
in numbers since 2002 when percentage was 39%.

Germany came second with 31% and Sweden placed third with 28%. Sweden also placed second, after Norway, in regards to the widespread use of computers in the workplace.
Finland came fourth with 28% as well, while according to the OECD most students in the country specialize in the research and production of medicine.

France occupied the fifth place with 27% of the majority of the country’s scientists working in the private sector. The sixth place was occupied by Greece with 26%, despite the fact that
in 2013 the government expenditure for research decreased to 0.08% of the GDP — one of the lowest rates in developed countries. Furthermore, the percentage of scientists in Greece showed
a slight decrease compare to 2002 (28%).

Estonia was in seventh place and the country was declared a champion in gender equality in the field of science, since in 2012, an astonishing 41% of Estonian scientists were women.
Furthermore, Mexico, Austria and Portugal followed closely with 25%. In fact, Portugal also had the largest number of PhD students (72%) working in education.

Greek and Greek-Australian Scientists to Patent First MS Treatment

sclerosis, also known as MS, is a demyelinating disease in which the insulating covers of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord are damaged.
This disrupts the communication in certain parts of the nervous system, resulting in a wide range of signs and symptoms, including physical, mental, and sometimes psychiatric problems.

Greek scientist Yiannis Matsoukas, professor of chemistry at the University of Patras and his team: Maria Katsara, George Deraos and
acclaimed Greek Australian researcher Vasso Apostolopoulos have obtained the world’s first patent for a new MS treatment that could help thousands of people across the world.
Matsoukas and Anastassopoulos have been working on this treatment for more than a decade, using methods that Anastassopoulos had previously used to develop a cancer vaccine.

Their treatment may not be able to cure the disease, however, it can stop it from progressing.
The researchers have also collaborated with VIANEX SA, largest Greek pharmaceutical company, owned by the Giannakopoulos.

The impact of new medical method is difficult to assess at this moment. The clinical trials will take place in Australia under the supervision of Vasso Anastassopoulos.
According to the researchers the therapeutic vaccine could be available in the market in a few months.

Gibt es noch andere Quellen für diese Sensation?

Allein wenn diese schleichende Krankheit mit neuen Behandlungsmedikation sich stoppen läßt , wär es eine Sensation.

Ich kenne eine die an MS erkrankt ist. Was die durchzustehen hat ist die Hölle auf Erden. Mehrere Kranke haben sich schon das leben gemommen, weil die Schmerzen für sie unerträglich waren.

Ich hoffe sehr , daß diese Nachricht keine Ente ist.
