Albert Einstein presented the theories of special relativity and general relativity in publications that either contained no formal references to previous literature, or referred only to a small number of his predecessors for fundamental results on which he based his theories, most notably to the work of Henri Poincaré and Hendrik Lorentz for special relativity, and to the work of David ...
Special relativity priority dispute: Albert Einstein, Henri Poincaré, Hendrik Lorentz; General relativity priority dispute: Albert Einstein, David Hilbert; Chandrasekhar limit: Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, Edmund Clifton Stoner, Wilhelm Anderson [8] Eightfold Way: Murray Gell-Mann, Yuval Ne'eman [9] [10]
Hilbert claimed priority for the introduction of the Riemann scalar into the action principle and the derivation of the field equations from it," [B 6] (Sauer mentions a letter and a draft letter where Hilbert defends his priority for the action functional) "and Einstein admitted publicly that Hilbert (and Lorentz) had succeeded in giving the ...

Some of the first women who were hired to work as computers had familial connections to the Harvard Observatory’s male staff. For instance, Anna Winlock , one of the first of the Harvard Computers, was the daughter of Joseph Winlock , the third director of the observatory and Pickering’s immediate predecessor. [ 11 ]
One of the three white dwarfs, Sirius B, a companion to Sirius, was discovered by Walter Sydney Adams after a suggestion by Arthur Eddington to use the relativistic Doppler effect as predicted by special relativity. [2] In 1926, Eddington pointed out a problem with the models at the time which considered such dense matter as the lowest energy ...
The same holds for Logunov, who is coauther of a refutation of the CRS article and author of a useful book on Poincaré and special relativity, giving an english translation, using modern notations, of Poincaré's E=mc 2 on p. 113. Logunov points out, among other important facts, that Einstein reviewed papers for the Beihefte der physikalischen ...
The second dispute began in the late 1950s, following Dingle's retirement and centered on the theory of special relativity. [8] [9] Initially Dingle argued that, contrary to the usual understanding of the famous twin paradox, special relativity did not predict unequal aging of twins, one of whom makes a high-speed voyage and returns to Earth ...
