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…

As many people may know, Isaac Newton was a man of many talents, but he was most famous for his law of gravitation. As a result, he played a significant role in the scientific revolution of the 17th century. Isaac Newton became one of the most influential scientists in that century. He invented reflecting lenses for telescopes which produced clearer images. During his life, he went through many hardships. He had a mental breakdown before losing his mother in 1678. Isaac Newton transformed the…

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…

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…

Growing up on a small farm in a small town such as Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England is not usually an indicator of great genius and future success. However, in the case of Sir Isaac Newton it is quite the opposite. In order to begin to understand how this one man was able to answer the great questions of his time, we must first look into his life. Isaac Newton was born on January 4, 1643 on his father's small farm. He was born to Isaac Newton Sr. and Hannah Ayscough Newton. His life was…

After high school at St. Albans School he went to a university college in Oxford. He wanted to study mathematics but his dad preferred he went to study medicine, but Mathematics was not available at the university college so he went on to study physics, after 3 years in 1962 he graduated with class honors at the university college and soon after,…

mathematician during the Scientific Revolution. He developed the principles of modern physics that are taught today. By 1666, Newton had developed the theory of gravitation. He had also come up with ideas about the diffraction of light. In 1686, he presented his three laws of motion in the "Principia Mathematica Philosophiae Naturalis”, often known as the “Principia”. Scientists say it is the most influential book on physics and, in fact, of all science. Newton’s Three Laws of Motion…

Mathematica” (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), which set the three laws of motion and the law of universal gravity. This was set to be the single most influential books on physics and all science, it is commonly known as Principia and contains information on mostly all the essential concepts of physics. Principia launched Newton to fame, eventually earning universal praise as one of the most important works of modern science. The work he created contains the three basic laws of…

well educated (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Lenin). His father worked as a Russian public figure in the field of public education. His father, Ilya Nikolayevich Ulyanov, came from a family of serfs. Despite this, he was able to study physics and mathematics at Kazan Imperial University before teaching at the…

Ghez from the Department of Physics and Astronomy at UCLA. Dr. Ghez has been serving as the Director of the Galactic Centre Group, at UCLA for the last nine years and is working in the department of Physics and Astronomy where she teaches students on subjects ranging from star formation to the black hole at the center of our galaxy. She received her undergraduate degree in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1987, and earned her Ph.D. in Physics from California…
