The Birth of Physics in Israel


Prof. Yuval Ne'eman


Seventy Years of Physics in Israel



Editorial remark:

In our previous editions of PhysicaPlus Online (1 and 2) we have published brief extracts from the booklet "From the Quark up to the Cosmos" by Prof. Yuval Ne'eman, which was issued by the National Academy of Science In 2000, under the column "Jewish Physicists" by Prof. Yuval Ne'eman. The first chapter gives an insight into the Jewish contribution to physical sciences during the Middle Ages and the New Era. The main part of the booklet gives a description of the birth of Physics research beginning with the Hebrew settlement in Erez Israel at the turn of the 20th Century, its development after the establishment of Israel and up to the latest achievements, and future challenges. In view of the approaching International Year of Physics 2005, our readers will, no doubt, find special interest in this important publication by Prof. Ne'eman, one of the most prominent physicists in Israel. We bring in this edition of PhysicaPlus an additional extract from the booklet, dealing with the birth of physics in Erez Israel.
