Title: Controversies in the History of the Radiation Reaction problem in
General Relativity
Authors: Daniel Kennefick
Comments: 33 pages, Latex
\\
This paper examines the historical controversy over whether gravitationally
bound systems, such as binary stars, experienced orbital damping due to the
emission of gravitational radiation, focusing especially on the period of the
1950s, but also discussing the work of Einstein and Rosen in the 1930s on
cylindrical gravitational waves and the later quadrupole formula controversy.
