Hecht challenged the notion of potential energy in 2003.^[1] The elusive nature of a universal definition of energy was argued by Hecht in a letter to the editor of The Physics Teacher in 2004.^[2] Then in 2006 he wrote 'There is no really good definition of mass'.^[3] He continued with the topic in 2011^[4] and 2016.^[5].

Eugene Hecht is also widely published authority on George E. Ohr and American art pottery and a founding member of the American Ceramic Arts Society.

Books[edit]

His first textbook on optics was co-authored with Alfred Zajac, a colleague at Adelphi, in 1974^[6]

Celebrated potter^[10]George Ohr was discovered after his workshop was consumed in fire.^[11]
