    Edward has written who is he you ask.Well he is an American theoretical physicist. He is also the professor of mathematical physics at the Institute for Advanced Study which is located in Princeton, New Jersey.He was also the person who discovered the string theory.Which states “that subatomic particles, instead of being single points, are actually strings, oscillating (vibrating) a certain way.” He also discovered a couple more theories. Edward Written was born August 26, 1951, in Baltimore,…

    result. My celebration was cut short when my father woke me up for school. It turned out that my singular achievement had merely been part of a dream, a dream which my unconcious created from my fascination with the special relativity unit in the physics class I took at Pomona College. Perhaps the strongest lure of special relativity is its way of contradicting the most fundamental scientific observations. Concepts I always assumed to be true were proven wrong by Albert Einstein nearly a hundred…

    The subject of quantum physics appeared far-fetched to physicists of the late 18th and early 19th century. Now, scientists hold a better understanding of atoms and their properties because of this branch of physics. Many scientists helped create the utterly confusing and frightening field, but three in particular made improvements to it that directed modern scientists to where they stand today. People do not grant enough credit to Max Planck, Albert Einstein, and Louis-Victor Broglie, the…

    Negative Energy Alec Li, Sydney Osugi Period 2, AP Physics The term positive energy encompasses light, matter and antimatter. While positive energy is created through the collision of electrons and their positron counterparts, collisions with negative energy and matter result in nothing. Negative energy is the concept that there is a region of space that is able to “contain less than nothing … can be less than zero”(`Negative Energy'' Solutions: Hole Theory). The law of the conservation…

    world. Basically, due to Hawking's idea of black holes, physics and mathematics were more than ever knitted together. His use of the laws of thermodynamics, quantum physics, and general relativity (which had never been used together ever before) demonstrated that. Even after Einstein’s use of relativity, Hawking created a idea that would entirely create a new idea and view of black holes (The Intimate Relation Between Mathematics and Physics). The United States and its venture of space…

    Best phrased by surgeon, author, and inventor Leonard Shlain in his book, Art & Physics, “Revolutionary art and visionary physics are both investigations into the nature of reality.” However dissimilar Vincent van Gough’s Starry Night may seem from Isaac Newton’s second law of motion, according to Shlain, this is what fundamentally unifies the two subjects. Physics is the study of the natural world, while art is the representation of it. Art has been part of our culture longer than any of the…

    ndividuals win Nobel Prizes for doing something out going, discovering something, or even curing someone. Albert Einstein, won a Nobel Prize for Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect. Growing up he felt not smart and thought that he was going to be nothing in life, but he realized that he loved learning and that he was going to be something in life and make something of his name. He has inspiring quotes that just make you want to push…

    REVIEW Name Course Date of submission Introduction Meliva Marić was a Serbian scientist married to Albert Einstein. Marić was a very intelligent woman, and she studied physics and mathematics at the Zurich Polytechnic where she met Albert Einstein. There has been lots of conspiracy surrounding her role in the life of Albert Einstein, the scientist who invented the relativity theory. There have existed a lot of theories about her involvement in the works of Einstein. In the…

    one year after the founding of the USSR, George went to the University of Leningrad to study physics. He and his friends would often discuss quantum mechanics which was cutting edge science at that time and was leading to the secrets of how the atom works. George earned his PhD through his own investigations into the strange behavior of the atomic nucleus. For three years he worked at the Theoretical Physics Institute which is part of the University…
