TitleLetter from Geo Fras [George Francis] Fitzgerald, Trin Coll Dub [Trinity College Dublin], to [Joseph] Larmor
CreatorFitzGerald; George Francis (1851-1901); Irish theoretical physicist
RecipientLarmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist
Date26 February 1895
DescriptionHe asks what Cambridge does in training teachers and giving lectures on the theory of education. He is hunting information for a committee. Fitzgerald thinks that Larmor's view on the higher vibrations being only occasioanlly excited and then rapidly distributed amongst neighbours by the aether is essentially the same as Fitzgerald's about the co-ordiante common to a lot of atoms. This is probably the same as the German's analysis, although he does not justify his damping.
