Jacques Solomon (4 February 1908 – 23 May 1942) was a French physicist and Marxist who played a central role in the debate over quantum mechanics in France in the 1930s and 1940s. He was killed by firing squad at Fort Mont-Valérien in 1942. ==Early years== Jacques Solomon was born on 4 February 1908 in the 18th arrondissement of Paris. Solomon's father, Ibser Solomon, was a medical radiologist and member of various learned societies in Europe and America. Solomon became an intern at the ''Hôpitaux de Paris'', then began studying physics and mathematics at the Sorbonne. At the time the course covered subjects such as optics, electricity and classical mechanics, but not more recent subjects such as statistical mechanics, Maxwell's electromagnetism or the controversial subjects of relativity and quantum mechanics. Solomon was researching theoretical physics at the ''Centre national de la recherche scientifique'' in 1929 when he married Hélène Langevin (1909–95), daughter of Paul Langevin (1872–1946), a professor at the Collège de France. In 1931 Solomon submitted a thesis on electrodynamics and quantum theory, which earned him recognition as one of the greatest physicists of his time. At the age of 29 he began teaching at the Collège de France. Both Solomon and Matvei Petrovich Bronstein believed in the need for a radically different method of treating quantum gravity, since the present theory of field quantization seemed incompatible with the non-linear theory of gravitation. Both were to die during the war. In 1934 Solomon joined the French Communist Party (PCE). He taught at the Open University, and contributed to the ''Cahiers du Bolchevisme'' and to ''L'Humanité. In 1935 he worked for the election of Paul Rivet, the first member of the Popular Front to be elected. After the Munich Agreement of of 30 September 1938 he was one of the secretaries of the ''Union des intellectuels français pour la justice, la liberté et la paix'' (UDIF). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jacques Solomon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
