to enter space. He discovered gravitational force and established the three Universal Laws of Motion. By tying these discoveries to the work Johannes Kepler and his Laws of Planetary motion‚ he established classic mechanics the beginning of modern Physics. This was huge in many ways as he proved definitively the heliocentric model first proposed by Copernicus. He also was the first to propose a set of laws that described the motion of all things in the universe. This served as the basis for our understanding

While attending school he worked as a lab assistant in the field of physics under the name of Robert Millikan. When later Millikan won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his measurement of electronic charge. In 1910 Hubble enrolled into Oxford University where he studied law for three years. Not happy with being a lawyer he later received his astronomy doctorate in 1917

something. I have also noticed that most of the engineering courses have slightly similar substance and structure in the beginning and only specialise later on‚ I find this to be quite an appealing factor. At college my favourite subjects include physics and mathematics as I take great pleasure in applying the concepts learned on real life situations. Mathematics is often described as the building blocks of life; everything around us consists of mathematics‚ without numbers it would be impossible

Immediately he was recognized for his talents in mathematics and physics. He graduated in the year 1825‚ enrolled himself in University of Vienna to study a higher version of math and astronomy. During that time‚ Doppler gave classes in math and physics to maintain himself. When he graduated from college‚ Doppler became the assistance of a professor‚ where during that time he started to contribute through papers

could even have been my mindless interest thereafter to find out more and more about the travellers in the heavens‚ but today‚ those memories are the seeds of my passion for astroparticle physics. Many people – even science graduates – hear the name and think it’s a “big deal”. It is not. Astroparticle physics is the study of the stuff that stars are made of‚ and by extension‚ as Carl Sagan said‚ the stuff that we are made of. It is the search for and the understanding of the smallest particles

In the movie E as in energy was explained first. Before energy’s discovery people thought that it was a composition of random forces acting upon someone or something that created movement. Michael Faraday went from being a blacksmith and became a scientist after being inspired after attending a speech from his idol Sir Humphrey Davy

Physics and mathematics have always been my strongest subjects and a natural pathway for me would be a career in engineering. Coupled with that I have a leaning towards medicine; I also enjoy biology and I would love to be able to work towards helping people in a healthcare environment. Having seen the radiology laboratory of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA headquarters in Vienna) was exciting because it demonstrated the role of physics and engineering in modern medicine.

These factors have included the cosmological ideas of religions that have become the staples of cultures across the globe. They have also included Astrological factors such as the physical presence of ‚ but in more recent understandings science‚ physics‚ and the calculations of mathematics have lead way to further insight and understanding of the forces that actually create our perceptions of time. It is no doubt that when thinking of such ideas and philosophies it is easy to first think of the big
