1915- relativity breaks down at the subatomic level and vice versa. A conjecture by two physicists may finally reconcile relativity with quantum mechanics and put an end to the chain of inconsistencies began by Hawking’s information paradox. Albert Einstein first discussed the concept of quantum entanglement in a 1935 paper co-written with his colleagues Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen. In the form of a thought experiment known as the EPR paradox, they demonstrated the incompleteness of…
Pangea! It was the supercontinent that existed about 300 million years ago. According to Alfred Wegener’s theory, long before us humans existed all of the continents used to be one large landmass. Who is Alfred Wegener you might ask? Alfred Wegener was a German polar researcher, geophysicist, and meteorologist born in Berlin on November 1, 1880. I chose to research about Alfred Wegener’s life and his struggles because we are currently focusing on the continental drift theory in science class. He…
Introduction: Quantum physics, also known as quantum mechanics, is the branch of physics that uses quantum theory to predict and describe the properties of a physical system. While chemistry is the science of composition, properties, structures, and reactions of matter; it is also known as the ‘central science’. While reading the book Alice in Quantumland by Robert Gilmore, one is able to link the two together, causing a curiosity to learn more. It is amazing to see how the two correlate and…
Albert Einstein designed his own laws of nature. He changed the way we use to see light, gravity, and time. Most scientists in our day in age agree with what Albert Einstein has declared, but some scientists seemed to not understand what he was saying. Albert Einstein gave scientists the ability to know that atoms and molecules exist through Brownian motion. Albert was one who experimented the photoelectric effect in which he established that light has both a wave and a particle. Light particles…
He was born into a family of English Dukes on both his father and mother’s side and later became one of the wealthiest people in England. He was well educated and attended the best English schools but did not hold any type of formal degree. After college, Henry began following his father’s scientific footsteps. Being a follower of Newtonian philosophy and Newtonian mechanics, he began conducting experiments in gases, electricity and gravity. In 1766, Henry won the Royal Society’s Copley Medal…
James J. Hill was born on September 16th, 1838 in Ontario, Canada. James was able to get good schooling in his youth at Rockwood Academy. James's father died when he was only 14, which means James had to quit school. He had to work while his mother ran an inn, he worked with a grocer while being able to study with the reverend. His work with algebra and geometry will help him in his future. James moved to the United States when he was 17 determined to be an animal and fur trader. He settled…
Albert Einstein has made a historical impact on the world and in the fields of science and math. Even with a not so great childhood, he was able to persevere and accomplish many great things. In elementary school, his teacher had told him he was “too dumb” to be there. His mother told him he was “too smart” and decided to homeschool Albert. This is the beginning of his magnificent journey. From solving equations, to making a difference in schools, he has helped many people and will continue to…
Karisa Watson 4/21/16 Dram2366 Stanley Kubrick Stanley Kubrick was born in Manhattan, New York City, to Sadie Gertrude and Jacob Leonard Kubrick, a physician. His family were Jewish immigrants. Stanley was considered intelligent, despite poor grades at school. Hoping that a change of scenery would produce better academic performance, Kubrick's father sent him in 1940 to Pasadena, California, to stay with his uncle, Martin Perveler. Returning to the Bronx in 1941 for his last year of…
seat she refused and started a boycott of all of the buses and helped fight for equal rights all of her life. She touches many people's hearts and her story helps many people today stand up for themselves. She changed America's rights forever. Albert Einstein was an introvert and he made many discoveries and arguably the most intelligent person to live on Earth. He was very influential and his theories and laws are still used today. He is still amazes people today. He showed people how smart a…
community. Albert Einstein (March 14, 1879 to April 18, 1955) did many things during his lifetime he had many accomplishments and awards. Albert Einstein is highly respected by many people. Albert Einstein was physicist and mathematician who developed the theory of relativity. In 1921 Einstein won a Nobel Prize for physics and the photoelectric effect. The next decade, he moved to the United States after being tracked by Nazis. He also had a major impact on atomic energy. Later Albert Einstein…
