Gunnar Nordström (12 March 1881 – 24 December 1923) was a Finland, Finnish theoretical physicist best remembered for Nordström's theory of gravitation, his theory of gravitation, which was an early competitor of general relativity. Nordström is often designated by modern writers as ''The Einstein of Finland'' due to his novel work in similar fields with similar methods to Einstein.Raimo Keskinen (1981): Gunnar Nordström 1881B1923.

Nordstrom
Nordstrom, Inc. () is an American Luxury goods, luxury department store chain headquartered in Seattle, Washington, and founded by John W. Nordstrom and Carl F. Wallin in 1901. The original store operated exclusively as a shoe store, and a second location opened in 1923. The growing chain began selling clothing in 1963, and became the full-line retailer that presently exists by 1971. The company founded its off-price Nordstrom Rack division in 1973, and grew both full-line and off-price divisions throughout the United States in the following years. The full-line division competes with department stores including Bloomingdale's, Macy's, Neiman Marcus, and Saks Fifth Avenue, while the off-price division competes with retailers including the TJX Companies and Ross Stores. Previous expansions beyond the contiguous United States include Puerto Rico (2015–2020) and Canada (2014–2023). Early history John W. Nordstrom was born on February 15, 1871, in the village Alvik, Lu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Karl Nordström
Karl Fredrik Nordström (11 July 1855 – 16 August 1923) was a Swedish painter who specialized in landscapes. From 1896 to 1920, he was chairman of the Association of Artists ( Konstnärsförbundet). Biography His father was a police commissioner. He grew up in Stenkyrka Parish on the island of Tjörn until he was twenty, when he went to Stockholm to study at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts, where his primary instructor was Edvard Perséus (1841–1890). From 1880 to 1882, he studied on his own in France, visited museums in Antwerp and Brussels and became influenced by Impressionism after seeing their Seventh Exhibition at Paris during 1882. He was able to get two paintings displayed at the Salon. Then, after a stay in Normandy, he returned home and remained there until 1886. In 1885, he was one of a group of 85 Swedish artists who became known as the opponents ('' Opponenterna''). They were signatories of a written request to the Royal Academy of Arts for a modernizat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Náströnd
In Norse mythology, Náströnd ("Corpse Shore") is a place in Hel where Níðhöggr devours the dead souls of the dishonorable. It is the afterlife for those guilty of murder, and severe oath-breaking. Orthography In the standardized Old Norse orthography, the name was spelled ''Nástrǫnd'', which in 11th century Old West Norse was pronounced . In Modern Icelandic the letter ' ǫ' is replaced by ö, and Náströnd is pronounced . ''Poetic Edda'' The ''Völuspá'' says: ''Prose Edda'' Snorri Sturluson quotes this part of Völuspá in the ''Gylfaginning'' section of his Prose Edda. He uses the plural of the word: Nástrandir (''Corpse Shores''). See also *Hel (being) *Hel (realm) *Niflheim * Niflhel * Niðafjöll References * Brodeur, Arthur Gilchrist (transl.) (1916).

Reissner–Nordström Metric
In physics and astronomy, the Reissner–Nordström metric is a Static spacetime, static solution to the Einstein–Maxwell equations, Einstein–Maxwell field equations, which corresponds to the gravitational field of a charged, non-rotating, spherically symmetric body of mass ''M''. The analogous solution for a charged, rotating body is given by the Kerr–Newman metric. The metric was discovered between 1916 and 1921 by Hans Reissner, Hermann Weyl, Gunnar Nordström and George Barker Jeffery independently. Metric In spherical coordinates , the Reissner–Nordström metric (i.e. the line element) is : ds^2 = c^2\, d\tau^2 = \left( 1 - \frac + \frac \right) c^2\, dt^2 -\left( 1 - \frac + \frac \right)^ \, dr^2 - ~ r^2 \, d\theta^2 - ~ r^2\sin^2\theta \, d\varphi^2 , where * c is the speed of light * \tau is the proper time * t is the time coordinate (measured by a stationary clock at infinity). * r is the radial coordinate * (\theta, \varphi) are the spherical angles * ...

Nordström's Theory Of Gravitation
In theoretical physics, Nordström's theory of gravitation was a predecessor of general relativity. Strictly speaking, there were actually ''two'' distinct theories proposed by the Finnish theoretical physicist Gunnar Nordström, in 1912 and 1913, respectively. The first was quickly dismissed, but the second became the first known example of a metric theory of gravitation, in which the effects of gravitation are treated entirely in terms of the geometry of a curved spacetime. Neither of Nordström's theories are in agreement with observation and experiment. Nonetheless, the first remains of interest insofar as it led to the second. The second remains of interest both as an important milestone on the road to the current theory of gravitation, general relativity, and as a simple example of a self-consistent relativistic theory of gravitation. As an example, this theory is particularly useful in the context of pedagogical discussions of how to derive and test the predictions of a met ...

Nordstrøm (band)
Nordstrøm is a Danish electronic-pop duo formed in 2004 in Copenhagen. The group consists of Troels Holdt and Lars Malm, who had been friends for more than 10 years before starting the group. The group's name is a compound word of the Danish words ''nord'' and ''strøm'', meaning north-energy. According to Holdt and Malm, the name was chosen with the idea that electronic music comes from the northern sky, and that electricity creates life. History Though Nordstrøm produces electronic pop, Malm and Holdt's friendship and collaboration were sparked by the Hank Williams classic " There's A Tear In My Beer". Both artists share a love for country classics, though the genre's influence on their music is not obvious. Malm and Holdt say that they draw inspiration for their songs from everyday life. Before forming Nordstrøm, Malm and Holdt played in a number of smaller bands. Though they managed to tour the Balkans, they eventually dropped their other projects in favor of Nordstrøm ...
