From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
What does Polak Professor mean? --Kpalion 20:01, 19 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- I think it is a scholarship or a cathedra chair. MathKnight 09:46, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- It means that he occupies a department seat which was endowed (i.e., provided with funding by the returns on an investment placed in trust) by an individual named Polak --Aminorex 17:07, 9 Feb 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Please cleanup quoted abstract
Hi, User:Vald, you added citation and abstract into the body of the article. Can you move to the citation to the end, with the other citations, and describe Bekenstein's contribs in your own words? I think articles here should have some value-added nature, not just be collections of quotations from linked documents. TIA---CH (talk) 01:37, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] This is not a stub
I think this is more than adequate as a treatment of Jakob Bekenstein. He is a relatively minor contemporary physicist and all of his most significant work is described at the appropriate level of discourse. Further expansions will necessarily be quite technical in their content. --Aminorex 17:11, 9 Feb 2006 (UTC)
- I definitely wouldn't call him minor, but I suppose the article is sufficient. 129.12.228.161 00:35, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
- I wouldn't say the article is sufficient. There is no mention of Prof. Bekenstein's latest work with MOND. Dkronst 22:36, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
