From Wood Chuck Holes to Worm Holes—A Look into the Notebooks of John A. Wheeler (2022)

unapi

This article offers an introduction to the notebooks of the American physicist John Archibald Wheeler (1911–2008) and argues that they represent a unique historical source. Several salient features of these notebooks are highlighted by following the example of the emergence of the concept of a “wormhole,” one of Wheeler's most famous ideas.
