Coloring Black Holes: Epistemic and Aesthetic Choices in Astronomical Imaging

Rodrigo Ochigame, Emilie Skulberg, Jeroen van Dongen

In 2019, the first image of a black hole's shadow based on observation was released by the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration (EHT). This paper shows that despite the EHT's emph…

Conceptual Analysis of Black Hole Entropy in String Theory

Sebastian De Haro, Jeroen van Dongen, Manus Visser +1

The microscopic state counting of the extremal Reissner-Nordström black hole performed by Andrew Strominger and Cumrun Vafa in 1996 has proven to be a central result in string theo…

Communicating the Heisenberg uncertainty relations: Niels Bohr, Complementarity and the Einstein-Rupp experiments

Jeroen van Dongen

The Einstein-Rupp experiments have been unduly neglected in the history of quantum mechanics. While this is to be explained by the fact that Emil Rupp was later exposed as a fraud…

The interpretation of the Einstein-Rupp experiments and their influence on the history of quantum mechanics

Jeroen van Dongen

The Einstein-Rupp experiments were proposed in 1926 by Albert Einstein to study the wave versus particle nature of light. Einstein presented a theoretical analysis of these experim…

Emil Rupp, Albert Einstein and the canal ray experiments on wave-particle duality: Scientific fraud and theoretical bias

Jeroen van Dongen

In 1926 Emil Rupp published a number of papers on the interference properties of light emitted by canal ray sources. These articles, particularly one paper that came into being in…
