| Feb 4, 2018 at 13:46 | comment | added | Peter Heinig | One contributing factor among countless others was the energy and single-minded dedication of de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Althoff. One source alleges that Althoff's correspondence was so voluminous that he was reading his mail on a regular basis with more than ten assistants in one room. Althoff's role was so important that in the secondary literature there is the technical term de.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Althoff. Whether this is a symptom or a cause of the golden age of German science would be a moot terminological dispute. | |

Theodore von Kármán, John von Neumann, Paul Halmos, Eugene Wigner, Edward Teller, George Pólya, and Paul Erdős". | |
