Republic of science

Physics worked that way, sorting among alternatives all science works that way. The chemist Michael Polanyi, Leo Szilard s friend, looked into the workings of science in his later years at the University of Manchester and at Oxford. He discovered a traditional organization far different from what most nonscientists suppose. A republic of science, he called it, a community of independent men and women freely cooperating, a highly simplified example of a free society. Not all philosophers of science, which is what Polanyi became, have agreed. Even Polanyi sometimes called science... [Pg.31]

Polanyi s model of an open republic of science where each scientist judges the work of his peers against mutually agreed upon and mutually supported standards explains why the atom found such precarious lodging in nineteenth-century physics. It was plausible it had considerable scien-... [Pg.35]

Fundamental research in pyrotechnics is published in the US in Combustion and Flame by the Combustion Institute, and in the UK in Combustion Science and Technology and in Fuel . Germany has the new, journal, Propellants and Explosives (German Chemical Society), which is the successor to the discontinued Explosivstoffe . A necessary caveat is that these journals are strongly oriented toward combustion or propulsion so that only rarely do they yield pyrotechnic information. Likewise, the various publications of the learned societies contain much data on thermodynamics, spectroscopy, and instrumental analysis which are useful in the study of pyrotechnics. In the USSR the situation is somewhat better as Physics of Combustion and Explosion (Fizika Gorenia i Vzryva) of the Siberian Branch Academy of Sciences USSR is exclusively oriented toward subjects of interest, as several scientific institutes are primarily devoted to research in pyrotechnics. The same authors do publish also, however, in the journals of the Academy of Science USSR (of which there are several) as well as in the corresponding journals of the academies of the various republics, so that the impression is created of a high level of activity...

In 1951, he received the Emil Fischer Medal of the Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker, and in 1957, the Grosse Verdienstkreuz (Grand Service Cross) of the Federal Republic of Germany. The Technische Hochschule in Stuttgart conferred upon him the honorary doctorate of Dr. ing. h.c. The Saxon Academy of Science and the Leopoldina in Halle, East Germany, elected him an honorary member. His scientific work, which found expression in 328 publications and 16 patents, is characterized by originality and a comprehensive command of experimental method. [Pg.2]
