Albert Einstein and the fifth dimension. A new interpretation of the papers published in 1927
Giulio Peruzzi, Alessio Rocci
In 1927 Einstein sent two brief communications to the Prussian Academy of Sciences on Kaluza's five-dimensional theory. In his Einstein biography, Abraham Pais asserted that he cou…
The Italian contributions to cosmic-ray physics from Bruno Rossi to the G-Stack. A new window into the inexhaustible wealth of nature
Giulio Peruzzi, Sofia Talas
From the late 1920s to the early 1950s, cosmic rays were the main instrument to investigate what we now call "high-energy physics". In approximately 25 years, an intense experiment…
Tales from the prehistory of Quantum Gravity. Léon Rosenfeld's earliest contribution
Giulio Peruzzi, Alessio Rocci
The main purpose of this paper is to analyse the earliest work of Léon Rosenfeld, one of the pioneers in the search of Quantum Gravity, the supposed theory unifying quantum theory…
A new Physics to support the Copernican system. Gleanings from Galileo's works
Giulio Peruzzi
Galileo's support to the Copernican theory was decisive for the revolutionary astronomical discoveries he achieved in 1610. We trace the origins of Galileo's conversion to the Cope…
The quest for the size of the universe in early relativistic cosmology (1917-1930)
Giulio Peruzzi, Matteo Realdi
Before the discovery of the expanding universe, one of the challenges faced in early relativistic cosmology was the determination of the finite and constant curvature radius of spa…
Incompatible and contradictory retrodictions in the history approach to quantum mechanics
Giulio Peruzzi, Alberto Rimini
We illustrate two simple spin examples which show that in the consistent histories approach to quantum mechanics one can retrodict with certainty incompatible or contradictory prop…
