Bean-counting in 4-space--a Census of Articles relating to Quantum Theory and Relativity

JF Ptak Science Books LLC Post 3

A census of articles relating to quantum theory and relativity.

We offer for a casual amusement this search that we did on the FANTASTIC American Physical Society website section PROLA (Physical Review Online Archive) http://prola.aps.org/  We simply searched all years of the Physical Review for the appearance of the words “relativity” or “quantum” in the published titles and/or abstracts. It is curious to see how long it actually took for these articles to appear in this journal.  The PROLA page is endlessly interesting and a big help to whatever it is that we're doing  here.
