PSSM Workshop on Liquid Crystals and Colloidal Dispersions
Marian Smoluchowski in life and science: A brief story.
Jozef Spalek, Jagiellonian University
Abstract: I shall be happy to say few words about Marian Smoluchowski, who was a very interesting person, apart from being a great scientist (he died at the age of 45 when returning from a routine Tatry-mountain expedition in 1917, after drinking a contaminated water from Raba river; he did not know that a dead horse was lying in the river upstream; it was the 1st World War time). More importantly, I shall provide an overview of Smoluchowski's excellent contribution to the theory of density fluctuations and suspensions, and will relate it to the De Gennes scaling approach.
