John Archibald Wheeler (July 9, 1911 – April 13, 2008) was an American theoretical physicist. He was largely responsible for reviving interest in general relativity in the United States after World War II. Wheeler also worked with Niels Bohr to explain the basic principles of nuclear fission.

John Archibald Wheeler (born July 9, 1911, Jacksonville, Florida, U.S.—died April 13, 2008, Hightstown, New Jersey) was a physicist, the first American involved in the theoretical development of the atomic bomb.

2024年9月25日 · John Archibald Wheeler was a physicist’s physicist. He never won a Nobel Prize, never became a household name, but to those in the know, he was a legend. He broke ground in many areas of physics: particle, nuclear, gravitational, quantum.

John Archibald Wheeler, 1911-2008 Over a long, productive scientific life, he was known for his drive to address big, overarching questions in physics, subjects which he liked to say merged with philosophical questions about the origin of matter, information and the universe.

2008年4月14日 · He was an iconic figure: a veteran of the Manhattan Project, a pioneer of the search for a quantum theory of gravity, and an originator of such evocative terms as "black hole."

John Archibald Wheeler (July 9, 1911 – April 13, 2008) was an American theoretical physicist. He was known for his interest in general relativity in the United States. Wheeler also worked with Niels Bohr in explaining the basic principles behind nuclear fission.

John Wheeler, who ended a 38-year career at Princeton, at the age of 65, to establish UT's Center for Theoretical Physics in 1976, probably would cringe at such comparisons. But it isn't hard to see that he, too, has a strong sense of mission., born of a …

2008年4月14日 · John Wheeler (1911-2008) was a leading theoretical physicist and Professor of Physics at Princeton from 1938-1976. Wheeler was central to the development of both the atomic and hydrogen bombs. After earning a doctoral degree in Physics from Johns Hopkins University, Wheeler worked closely with Niels Bohr at the University of Copenhagen.

John Archibald Wheeler was an American theoretical physicist and the leading physicist in residence at Hanford. He solved the riddle of the B Reactor going dead a few hours after it started, an event that threatened to delay seriously the first production of plutonium.

John Archibald Wheeler (1911 – 2008) was an American physicist. After receiving his Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University, Wheeler worked at Danish physicist Niels Bohr’s laboratory in Copenhagen before accepting a teaching position at Princeton University.
