Fritz Zwicky citáty

Fritz Zwicky byl švýcarsko-americký astronom. Jeho maminka Františka Vrček byla Češka. Zwicky vystudoval v letech 1916 až 1925 matematiku a experimentální fyziku na Spolkové vysoké technické škole v Curychu. Poprvé referoval o možné existenci temné hmoty. Navrhl také alternativní vysvětlení rudého posuvu – „unavené světlo“. Wikipedia

“To eliminate the discrepancy between men's plans and the results achieved, a new approach is necessary. Morphological thinking suggests that this new approach cannot be realized through increased teaching of specialized knowledge. This morphological analysis suggests that the essential fact has been overlooked that every human is potentially a genius. Education and dissemination of knowledge must assume a form which allows each student to absorb whatever develops his own genius, lest he become frustrated. The same outlook applies to the genius of the peoples as a whole.”

“It is known that very distant nebulae, probably galactic systems like our own, show remarkably high receding velocities whose magnitude increases with the distance. This curious phenomenon promises to provide some important clues for the future development of our cosmological views. It maybe of advantage, therefore, to point out some of the principal facts which any cosmological theory will have to account for. Then a brief discussion will be given of different theoretical suggestions related to the above effect. Finally, a new effect of masses upon light will be suggested which is a sort of gravitational analogue of the Compton effect.”
