Meanwhile, Gates’ research has expanded on Einstein’s theory of gravity and taken it to the next stage. Indeed, this work forms the basis for his talk at HWS, which will also be titled “Einstein’s Clocks, Poincaré’s Maps.” Galison holds a bachelor’s, master’s and Ph.D.
His work is said to take readers into history, science, adventure and biography detailing Einstein’s life working in a patent office to detailing his rivalry with French physicist and philosopher Henri Poincaré.

Galison’s most recent work is “Einstein’s Clocks, Poincaré’s Maps: Empires of Time” published in 2003 that is the third in a series of books on modern physics. Galison is Mallinckrodt Professor of the History of Science and of Physics at Harvard. Both talks were held in the Geneva Room of the Warren Hunting Smith Library. They presented public lectures at HWS on Tuesday, Feb. In conjunction with this World Year of Physics as declared by the United Nations, Hobart and William Smith Colleges hosted a full-day symposium on “Einstein’s Legacy,” capping off the day with presentations by two renowned Einstein experts: Peter Galison of Harvard University, who is recognized as one of the premier science historians in the world, and Sylvester James Gates Jr., an expert in superstrings and supergravity from the University of Maryland. In 1905, Einstein laid foundations for three fundamental fields in physics: the theory of relativity, quantum theory and the theory of Brownian motion. The 100th anniversary of Albert Einstein’s “miraculous year” inspired Hobart and William Smith Colleges to devote HWS Day, an annual day of academic study, to exploring the life of the Nobel winning physicist. A Harvard professor who is regarded as one of the premier science historians in the world and a University of Maryland physicist who expanded Einstein’s theory of gravity highlighted HWS Day in February.
