Title | Copy letter from James Hopwood Jeans, Secretary of the Royal Society; to Professor [Arthur Stanley] Eddington, FRS |
Date | 18 October 1921 |
Description | Thanks Professor [Arthur Stanley] Eddington for his report on [Alfred North] Whitehead's paper, 'The theory of the inertial field'. As Professor Eddington is unable to attend the Committee meeting, writes to clarify a couple of points, namely, whether Whitehead's dj2 is arrived at in a way which is of interest and requires attention. Expresses his own concern at Whithead's justification as to how his dj2 was obtained. |
