TitleLetter from Thomas Gold to Professor Hermann Bondi, Department of Mathematics, King's College, London
Date19 May 1966
DescriptionSays that 'I haven't heard from you for a long time. I hope that this does not mean that you spend all your work hours on the infinite problems of the British government'. Talks about where he will in Europe and asks Professor Bondi if he would like to meet up in Paris or the Alps. Asks how the rotators are and says that 'Gordon MacDonald has some statistical investigation of angular momentum per unit mass possessed in various systems and he considers this suggestive of some mysterious derivation process. When I explained rotators to him he thought that this might well be the explanation and he thought that we might publish our paper in the same journal and in sequence with his. Says that 'We also ought to discuss again the question of a prolonged visit of you and family to Ithaca. It is about time that you uprooted yourself again for a while. All is well here except that I am overworked and that at the moment neither the snow skiing nor the water skiiing is any good'.
