Assumption and myth in physical theory
TL;DR: In this article, the limits of theory making and its pre-suppositions are discussed, and the origin of inertia and the universe is discussed. But the main focus is on the physics of the universe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gravitational waves in general relativity XIII. Caustic property of plane waves
Hermann Bondi,F. A. E. Pirani +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of a plane gravitational wave of limited duration on an infinite set of test particles at relative rest was studied and it was shown that all the particles strung out in a certain direction will collide after a finite time that is independent of how far apart they were originally.
Journal ArticleDOI
On Datta's spherically symmetric systems in general relativity
TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of non-static spherically symmetric systems in which the particle motion is, in a certain sense, purely transverse, is further developed and compared with the Newtonian case.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the dynamical theory of the rotation of the earth. II. The effect of precession on the motion of the liquid core
Hermann Bondi,R. A. Lyttleton +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that no steady state motion of a permanent character is possible for the interior of the Earth, though the precise nature of the motion that actually occurs poses a problem of special interest from a hydrodynamic standpoint.
