Can the phisycists here take a look?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Folks,
I've just completed a mission expressly, if inadvertently, taken
up in 1977, when was asked (by the NSTS interview board, India)
if I was as good in QM as evidently (at that time) in GR.
Unfortunately, I was young, impressionable, and intrigued.
The first, complete _classical_ derivation of Planck's law,
replete with the perspective of the thermodynamics of computation
pioneered by Landauer and Bennett at the IBM Watson lab, and
establishing that the Planck's constant h is no more than a
Fourier transform of the Boltzmann constant k, is now at
[link|http://www.columbia.edu/~vg96/papers/planck.pdf|http://www.columbia....papers/planck.pdf]. I would greatly
appreciate comments, including criticisms of points of omission,
etc., and will be likely asking people in the field as well.
sincerely,
=prasad.
