    I chose Albert Einstein because of his impact on theoretical physics and influence in how people think about what’s possible, creativity and curiosity. He has made many theories that have come true, and some that haven't, but I also choose Albert Einstein because I have always been more interested in him than what I’ve been able to learn in school since he’s someone who has kept trying and working hard. He’s changed the way we think about physics and science. Many truly believe Albert Einstein…

    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…

    In Joseph Campbell’s heroic definitions, Albert Einstein fits best with a heroic zealot, devoting his entire life to theoretical physics, also influencing the philosophy of science. Not only is Albert Einstein a heroic zealot, but to me personally, a spiritual hero, for never giving up, and never being satisfied, pushing himself to work harder for things he loved. Growing up…

    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…

    allowed him to study for a diploma at the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule in Zurich. He made a plan of graduating as a teacher in mathematics and physics. He got his PHD in 1905. He also created the theory of relativity. A lot of people thought that his theory was wrong but gamma rays prove that he was right. In 1921 he won the nobel prize in physics, for his work on the photoelectric effect. he thought that light consisted of particles called protons. The speed of of…

    Science has revolutionized our world with unimaginable advancements in technology. From the brilliant minds of William Whewell (who coined the English word “science”) to the modern day scientist like Stephen William Hawking (who contributed to the vast amount of today’s knowledge on cosmology and quantum gravity). Furthermore, science has become so advanced in this day-in-age that it has been split apart into different sections that each cover a broad range of technological information,…

    theory. Although earlier philosophers such as Galileo and John Philoponus had used experimental procedures, Newton was the first to explicitly define and systematize their use. His methodology produced a neat balance between theoretical and experimental inquiry and between the mathematical and mechanical approaches. Newton mathematized all of the physical sciences, reducing their study to a rigorous, universal, and rational procedure which marked the ushering in of the Age…

    thinking in pictures then understanding words . well okay that a little about his child hood. Albert’s Adult hood he publishes four ground breaking works in the “Annealed der Physic” and I guess that’s for like a physics around the 1900s Albert deuces the formula E=mc squared. In April Albert also hands in a physics work. In the middle of January Albert is awarded a doctorate by the University of Zurich and also in April he is promoted to be a second class technical expert at the patent office.…
