Workshop registration: history & philosophy of the gravitational constant
We have a limited number of places for participants at the 2-day workshop associated with the research project 'The Gravitational Constant 1890-1915 – From the Local to the Universal', a joint project between St Andrews and the University of Bonn. The workshop looks at the wider scientific context around 1900 within which acceptance of a gravitational constant developed; it draws on approaches from transnational history, circulation practices, measurement theory and practice, and philosophy of physics.
Invited speakers are:
- Michael Gordin, (Princeton), Fin-de-siècle Scientific Standardization: Meters, Languages, Information
- Jenny Beckman (Uppsala) - Language practices in 19th century science: parallel publication, translation, and journal guidelines
- Daniel Mitchell (IEEE History Center, Piscataway, NJ) - On mathematical approaches to measurement, units and laws
- Richard Staley (Cambridge and Copenhagen) - Gift, trade and gravity: Circulation practices and knowledge economies, across disciplinary space and time
- Bryan Roberts (London School of Economics) - Role of Laws
For the draft full schedule, see https://www.gravconstant.net/events.html
The workshop will take place in St Andrews.
