- Sandage Versus Hubble on the Reality of the Expanding Universe (2008) [Updated 7 years ago]
A critical reading of Lubin & Sandage?s 2001 paper on the Tolman
effect for the reality of the expansion of the universe clearly reveals
that Sandage is far from winning the dispute with Hubble on the issue.
After all the years, Hubble?s doubt about the reality of the expansion
remains as valid as Sandage?s certainty expressed in a series of papers
in the last decade. - Einsteinian Blunders (2008) [Updated 1 decade ago]
The World Year of Physics 2005 celebrates Einstein 1905. Too much celebration of a single character may be hazardous as an example for the younger generation. With such a motto in mind, I comment on some episodes in Einstein's scientific career that are at some extent characterized by what could be dubbed blundering behavior. The final purpose is obviously to humanize the personage as opposed to the current trend of deification.
