History of physics

The Accomplishments of Jean Jacques Rousseau Jean Jacques Rousseau was one of the few people who could be considered as a jack of all trades. He was a philosopher, author, and composer, and he also dabbled in botany and mathematics. He produced many wonderful works in his lifetime and had made several important contributions to music, literature, and political philosophy. His professional success belied the difficult childhood that he had. His mother died a few days after he was born, and his…

Albert Einstein, one of the greatest minds of the twentieth century, once said, "If I had an hour to save the world, I would spend 50 minutes planning my rescue and 10 minutes implementing my plan." Einstein recognized the importance and power of planning. Planning is a powerful tool and allows one to effectively channel his or her goals and success Planning is a crucial step of the success process, and without it, Life goals is limited. In the realms of music and writing, artists have…

Throughout my life, my thoughts and beliefs about the world have changed drastically as I’ve encountered strange scenarios within the world. Of all my beliefs, the one that may be the strangest is one that is similar to what solipsists believe, but I feel it is more in line with relativity. The core of solipsism is that only the self and mind can be to be true while the outside world does not exist. While my belief may seem to be very similar to this, it differs in numerous important aspects.…

The scientist, Sir Isaac Newton, helped to organize the thinking about forces by formulating three laws. In his book Newton describes his three laws of motion. Newton’s Laws are all around us. To prove this, you will conduct 14 different activities showing everyday examples of these laws. Lab Procedure You will start at a lab station and then move from station to station until you have completed all 14 activities. You will have 3minutes to do the activity at each lab station. Perform the…

Sir Isaac Newton, does the name sound familiar? That’s because he discovered gravity by an apple falling on his head from a tree. He didn’t discover the law of gravity right then and there, but it was this experience that helped set the course for the rest of his life. Sir Isaac Newton’s life was a combination of childhood tragedies, educational struggles, and many achievements. So let’s go back to where it all started when he was born. Sir Isaac Newton was born on December 25, 1642 (January 4th…

Arthur found that kelvin’s assumptions were wrong about the time scale for our planet. He proved him wrong by the availability of radioactive heat. His technology he used was not very advanced but he still made incredible discoveries. he used the knowledge he gained in college. He used books and lectures to acquire knowledge. He was truly a genius to have known all the things he knew with not that advanced technology. Arthur Holmes was a geologist. He was born on January 14, 1809 and he died…

Petersburg Academy of Science in Russia and also worked in the Russian Navy from 1727 to 1730 as a medical lieutenant. At the Academy, Euler served as professor of physics in 1730. Three years later, he became a professor of mathematics. Euler wrote many articles during his lifetime. His book “Mechanica” earned him worldwide fame as a prominent mathematician. It depicted Newtonian dynamics in the form of mathematical…

Presentism is the view that all, and only, things that exist in the present, the now, exist. To determine whether something is part of the present means that you have to find what exactly determines the present. The common objection for presentism is by the use of the Special Theory of Relativity, or more specifically the relativity of simultaneity. The Special Theory of Relativity is a well confirmed physical theory of the measurement of non-accelerating frames of reference in all inertial…

Mathematics: The Greatest Legacy from Ancient Greece to the Modern World The greatest legacy of Ancient Greece to the modern world is mathematics. Ancient Greece was the source of great mathematicians like Archimedes, Pythagoras, Euclid and Eratosthenes who provided the modern world with a strong base to the knowledge we have today. They gave the modern world hydrostatics, the volume of a sphere and the calculation of pi which is used to design impressive sea vessels, industrial tanks and…

People like Feynman – they never cease to fascinate me. I find people who have a thorough understanding in two or more subjects highly interesting. They are able to see things with more than one approach, like using two different lenses to see the world, red and blue for example. Through those lenses you can see the world “protruding”. Most people will find it odd how one can be an expert in conflicting topics. Philosophy is infamously known to be often frowned-upon by scientists. Feynman is…
