Particle physics

Christianity itself was getting started, medicine was a basic, if not crude, practice; mathematics was used chiefly for business and surveying; and astronomy was closely associated with astrology. There were no readily identifiable forms of chemistry, physics, or biology, although the civil engineering of roads, buildings and aqueducts had developed through trial-and-error experience. It would be a mistake, however, to conclude that people back then were stupid and ignorant: classical Greek and…

James Chadwick was a very intelligent boy, as a teenager he knew that he wanted to study physics and so he did. James Chadwick went to the University of Cambridge at the age of 17, in the year 1908. When he was 19 he was in his final year of his physics degree. James’ teacher was Ernest Rutherford another famous scientist who won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry, because of his studies on disintegrating the atom. After James turned in his research paper he graduated with first class honors. For…

Rutherford’s planetary model. After his publication of his model he received worldwide fame. Unfortunately, Bohr’s model worked only for hydrogen atoms. Which made the final atomic model yet to be developed. In 1922 he received the Nobel Prize for physics in 1922 for his investigations of the structure of atoms and of the radiation emitting from them. Later on he served as a professor at the University of Copenhagen as well as the director of the…

scientists, they had no idea or if they thought they had an idea, it was more sci-fi than actual science. Without Hawking’s findings, we most likely wouldn’t have the space technology we do today. Stephen Hawking impacted the way people see theoretical physics, black holes, and two of the theories of the universe, all while continually pushing through Lou Gehrig's disease during his studies. Since his childhood, he knew that he wanted to be a scientist when he grew up (“Math and…

How Newton’s Second Law changed Physics. There are many equations and formulas that are important in physics because of what they imply or solve like E=mc^2, but Newton’s Second Law of motion has to be one of the most important. F=m(dv/dt)(Quote) F=ma Force = Mass x Acceleration (Newtons) With the use of this equation he proved that objects that are heavier fall at the same rate towards earth as objects that are lighter because the earth pulls them down with the same force. To put it in…

Medal, Wolf Prize, CH, Prince of Asturias Award, Andrew Gemant Award, Naylor Prize and Lectureship, Lilienfeld Prize, Albert Medal (Royal Society of Arts). From 2006 up to 2015 he received the Copley Medal, Presidential Medal of Freedom, Fundamental Physics Prize, FRSA, and the BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge…

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 misgivings; as human as the rest of us. Through vivid descriptions of interactions and correspondence between the key players, it is clear to see the formation of two main schools of…

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 were called quanta that had a certain amount of energy that release electrons from metals. Albert proved that whatever speed we are moving at it measures out to be 300 million meters per second in a vacuum. Which then proved that time…

career of anyone particle. They seem to be as free as dragonflies. You can perfect your instruments and your methods till the cows come home, and you will never ever be able to measure this one basic thing. It cannot be done. The electron is a muskrat; it cannot be perfectly…
