Sažetak
Four publications authored by Stjepan Mohorovičić between the years 1921 and 1947, in which he favorably discussed Milutin Milanković’s theory of climate change, are commented upon. Moreover, it is shown that M. Milanković cited S. Mohorovičić in his “Canon of insolation and ice-age problem” published in 1941. The life and work of S. Mohorovičić are briefly described. It is pointed out that he made important contributions to mathematics, physics, geophysics and astronomy. In particular, his theoretical prediction of the existence of a bound positron-electron system, which has been subsequently detected by experimentalists and which is today called positronium, is mentioned. It is therefore concluded that S. Mohorovičić was an excellent scientist, who was able to recognize the importance of M. Milanković’s theory immediately after it had been first published in 1920 and who was willing to popularize the theory at a time when it was often subjected to criticism.
