@mcnees As I have pointed out in the past Hahn was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for the experiment that showed the existence of fission in which Meitner was not involved. Should she have received the Nobel Prize for Physics for working out the theory of fission, yes 100% But it's even more complex because Strassman was involved in the experiment and got nothing and Frisch cowrote the theory paper https://thonyc.wordpress.com/2015/04/30/unsung-i-hardly-think-so/

@mcnees Who’s this Einstein guy? Is he famous or something?

@mcnees The Principia Mathematica was published on 5 July 1687 is not strictly true

@mcnees @BAPearlmutter

Then your post was ambiguous, sorry

@mcnees At that point in time, not antisemitism with regards to Emmy Noether

@BAPearlmutter @mcnees Small piece of information, I live in Emmy Noether's home town, am a historian of mathematics and something of a Noether expert.
Emmy did not identify as Jewish and in the middle of the second decade of the 20th century she would not have been and in fact was not the target of anti-semitism

@mcnees The road from al-Sufi’s first description of the Andromeda nebula to Hubble’s proof that it was a galaxy https://thonyc.wordpress.com/2018/01/10/andromeda-from-nebula-to-galaxy/

@mcnees Kant was building on the theories of the English astronomer Thomas Wright (1711–1786) published in his An Original Theory on New Hypothesis of the Universe (1750)

@mcnees Babbage demonstrated several programs for the Analytical Engine during the conference in Turin on which the Menebea Memoire is based so Lovelace is in absolutely no way the “first computer programmer”

@mcnees It was Charles Wheatstone, not Babbage, who suggested that she translate the Menebrea memoire, when she expressed a desire to emulate Somerville as a translator
