History of physics

Taylor Cockrell The Universe: its many theories Throughout history, knowledge and ideas have been passed on and tossed around about how we all came to inhabit this earth, this Universe. Many theories came from the Ancient Greeks, Romans and many different interpretations of the Christian Bible! In this essay I will talk about three main points throughout history that impacted how the universe can be interpreted, through theories. How the Ancient Greeks impacted thought and their ideas,…

people in the twentieth century. One hundred years later, we’re still using his equations, theories, and discoveries today. Albert Einstein was able to take a big stand in history. Taking a stand means to take a firm position in an issue. Einstein took this stand with his theory of relativity. Albert Einstein took a stand in history when he refused to give up proving relativity which carved a pathway to modern science. Einstein had some hardships in his life, but eventually worked through them…

mathematician, known for her contributions to abstract algebra and theoretical physics, Amalie Emmy Noether was described by many other famous mathematic theorists as the most important woman in the history of mathematics. An article on Applied Mathematics gives a brief insight into the importance of her work: Emmy Noether was one of the most brilliant and important mathematicians of the 20th century. She altered the course of modern physics. Einstein called her a genius. Yet today, almost…

mathematical equations common in physical science disciplines. Upon further study, it seems the mathematical ability specifically related to geometry, scale, and orientation are most likely to accurately predict achievement in science classes like physics and chemistry (Pallrand & Seeber, 1984). It seems a student’s spatial ability…

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…

have been chronicled countless times. Among the ranks of noted histories, Uncertainty by David Lindley brings a unique perspective of a classic tale. The turbulent period in science marked the evolution from absolute determinism to probabilistic interactions. After this era, entropy did not always increase, only sometimes. By following the introduction of Heisenberg’s famous uncertainty principle, Lindley represents the giants of physics as personable characters, each with their own virtues and…

Well optics are the scientific studies of light and how they behave. Optics are also the study of the way light reflects off of other objects. Light is a form of electromagnetic waves. What are Newton's Laws of Physics? The first law states that for an object in motion will stay in motion until acted upon by another object. The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent on two variables. The third laws states that for every action there is…

Albert Einstein, considered one of the sharpest minds in history, died unfulfilled. All of his life since he was a kid, he had been in awe from the natural phenomena of the world. Taken over by passion, Einstein put his whole focus on science. Even as a brilliant child, teachers thought he would never amount to anything, because of his lack of interest in anything other than sciences and math. Einstein and I share the same hyperfocus towards our passions that blindly leads us away from other…

including natural sciences, he considers the need for mutuality between theology and other sciences. That is, the interaction between theology and other sciences is to be carried out in hypothetical consonance. Theological claims about God’s salvific history are to be in consistence with natural science when there are overlapping concerns; yet, if not, theology is to be given autonomy, and does not have be assimilated to the limited approximations presented by natural science. This is because…

blonde, maybe someone became president rather than a physics professor. There are an infinite number of possibilities which causes the Multiverse Theory to also be a heavily controversial topic. However, it is also just a theory and there is no definitive proof quite yet. That being said, there are hundreds of ideas that could possibly prove the theory. The Multiverse Theory was first created in 1952 by a man named Erwin Schrodinger, the same physics theorist…
