Theoretical physics

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…

recognition, and applied at the University of Berne, his application was returned with an insulting remark. When his reputation spread he went from becoming a full time professor in Prague and Zürich, to being appointed director of the Institute of Physics at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute. This position relieved Einstein of teaching duties, and he devoted this free time to his studies. The current education system is abysmal to American society. Teacher accountability has become unobtainable 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…

for solving some problems…" (1) Operations Research enables planners to make choices in areas that is useful in the management of organizations. Operations Research combines a number of mathematical systems using, statistics, computer science, physics, engineering, economics, and social sciences to solve management problems. In operations research, problems are broken down into basic components and then solved in defined steps by mathematical testing. Mathematics is certainly…

well as the interaction between various types of matter. The interaction is often facilitated by the reactions that involve either electron loss or electron gain, as described by the American Chemical Society (2014). Unlike other sciences, such as physics, chemistry doesn’t put more focus on the nuclear part of the atom, and any other subatomic realm. Perhaps it’s important to emphasize that chemistry is a science, and thus the procedures conducted in this subject tend to be systematic and…

Taylor Cockrell The Universe: its many theories Throughout history, knowledge and ideas have been passed on and tossed around about how we all came to inhabit this earth, this Universe. Many theories came from the Ancient Greeks, Romans and many different interpretations of the Christian Bible! In this essay I will talk about three main points throughout history that impacted how the universe can be interpreted, through theories. How the Ancient Greeks impacted thought and their ideas,…

standing on a platform (VCE Physics, 2017). When passing the observer on the platform, it is expected that the light would be moving at 1.5 times the speed of light as you add the speed of the train to the speed of light (VCE Physics, 2017). However, due to special relativity, light is constant from every perspective, resulting in time being altered. This is because more time has passed for the observer on the platform than in the carriage, hence creating a time dilation (VCE Physics,…

Thomson’s work on gas discharges led to the Astons mass spectrometer where he then discovered about isotopes. Thomson was later received a Nobel Prize in 1906 for his theoretical and experimental research on the discharge of electricity though gas. The discovery of electron helped many/connected the discovery of many other new researches. There were many experiments before the discovery of electrons but first we need to…

Imagine if one didn’t know what the universe contained. What if the simplest knowledge of what the sparkling objects in the night sky are wasn’t known, or that earth rotates around the sun, not the other way around. If facts like these weren’t known, people would have a great fear of the unknown. Imagine how people would think of the universe. Without astronomers the known would still be part of the unknown. Astronomers have a very unique job description that includes the study of stars, planets…

Lemaitre served as an artillery officer in his younger ages during World War I which put a halt onto his studies but soon picked back up on after the war. He chose learn theoretical physics. He worked with an English astronomer named Arthur Eddington while pursuing his studies that drove him to America where he achieved a Ph.D. in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He went back to Belgium in which he…
