Joshua N. Goldberg (born May 30, 1925 in Rochester, New York) is an American physicist and educator. He is particularly noted for his research on general relativity.[2][3]
Goldberg was born in Rochester, New York, and received a Bachelor's degree from the University of Rochester in 1947. He received a doctorate in physics from Syracuse University in 1952. His thesis advisor was Peter Bergmann. From 1952–1956 Goldberg was a research scientist at the Armour Research Foundation. He then worked at the Aerospace Research Laboratory at Wright Patterson Air Force Base , where over seven years he built a research group working on relativity. In 1963 Goldberg became a professor of physics at Syracuse University, where he is presently an emeritus professor of physics.[4]
Goldberg is known for his research in general relativity, where he has written 61 papers.[4] Along with Bergmann, Goldberg introduced a new derivation of the laws of motion of rigid bodies according to the rigorous approach that they had developed.[5]
Goldberg was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 1972.[2] In 2011, Goldberg's research career was honored by a special issue of the journal General Relativity and Gravitation.[3]
