| Title | Letter from A S [Arthur Stanley] Eddington, Trinity College, Cambridge, to [Joseph] Larmor |
| Creator | Eddington; Sir Arthur Stanley (1882-1944); British theoretical phyicist and astrophysicist |
| Recipient | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |
| Date | no date [c.1905] |
| Description | He thanks Larmor for going through his work so quickly. Eddington obtained the result for the radiation from a ring of n electrons (point charges) last summer, but realised that [Oliver] Heaviside had done almost the same, and that J.J. [Joseph John] Thomson's result was correct, despite an error in the early part of his 1903 paper. Eddington's objective in writing was to give a written statement [MS/603/3/12] of his difficulty about the rotational stagnant aether, which he would like to talk over with Larmor. He apologises for taking up Larmor's time, especially since he will soon depart from the university's 'friendly atmosphere of electrons'. |
