The American physicist Robert Dicke (1916-1997) is primarily known for hisimportant contributions to gravitation, cosmology, and microwave physics. Muchless known is his work in geophysics and related areas of the earth sciences inwhich he engaged himself and several of his collaborators in the period fromabout 1957 to 1969. Much of Dicke's work in geophysics was motivated by hiswish to obtain evidence in support of the non-Einstenian Brans-Dicke theory ofgravitation. The idea of a decreasing gravitational constant, as entertained byDicke and some other physicists (including Pascual Jordan), played some role inthe process that transformed the static picture of the Earth to a dynamicalpicture. It is not by accident that Dicke appears as a minor actor in historiesof the plate tectonic revolution in the 1960s.
