| Title | Letter from O J [Oliver Joseph] Lodge, Normanton House, Lake, near Salisbury, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Lodge; Sir Oliver Joseph (1851-1940); British physicist |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | 8 March 1930 |
| Description | Lodge is amazed that Larmor has detected [Paul] Dirac in [James Clerk] Maxwell, not suspecting that it coudl be traced back to on eof thr giants of the nineteenth century. He imagines that [Arthur] Eddington exaggerates when he suggests a breakdown of the law of causality and a loophole for freedom. He congratulates Larmor for the discovery, although the time was not then ripe for seeing a connection with the quantum. 'I daresay I am talking nonsense, but I only read your letter five minutes ago, and so am inclined to bubble over'. |
