TitleLetter from G F FG [George Francis Fitzgerald], 7 Ely Place, to Joseph Larmor, St John's College, Cambridge
CreatorFitzGerald; George Francis (1851-1901); Irish theoretical physicist
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
Date27 January 1895
DescriptionFitzgerald knew that periods would depend on amplitudes, amd if he had seen they must always, it would have disproved the suggestion. He wishes that someone would point out where the equal partition of energy fails, and a system in which it is not true. Larmor's system with no transference of energy is no good. [Arthur] Schuster's suggestion is interesting, but beside this point.
