helped change the realm of physics for years to come ” (Albert). Einstein was very interested in many other things that had not been discovered or even thought of yet. He looked at topics in a new perspective to broaden the science world’ s understanding and his knowledge. Einstein showed that if you follow your curiosity you can discover new and possibly big things. “ … walking down the street and bam‚

was a German-born theoretical physicist. He developed the general theory of relativity‚ one of the two pillars of modern physics (alongside quantum mechanics).[2][3] While best known for his mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2 (which has been dubbed "the world’s most famous equation")‚[4] he received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics‚ and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect".[5] The latter was pivotal in establishing quantum

Max Planck (1858- 1947) Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck was a German theoretical physicist who created the quantum theory‚ which won him the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1918. Max Planck was born in Kiel‚ Germany‚ on April 23 1858. He was the sixth child of a professor of law at the University of Kiel. He died at Gottingen on October 4‚ 1947. A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light‚ but rather because its opponents

mathematics. For instance‚ Einstein showed that absolute time had to be supplanted by a new absolute: the speed of light. The speed of light theorem is still influential today‚ even at NASA and Space X. Einstein had no problem disregarding old science and physics. For example‚ his biography states that‚ “Einstein envisioned a world where space and time are relative and the speed of light is absolute. At the time‚ it was believed that space and time were absolute and the speed of light was relative.” (Einstein

ESSAY: WHY I WANT TO BE A PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER Amy McLeod “Engineering is not merely knowing and being knowledgeable‚ like a walking encyclopaedia; engineering is not merely analysis; engineering is not merely the possession of the capacity to get elegant solutions to non-existent engineering problems; engineering is practicing the art of the organised forcing of technological change… Engineers operate at the interface of science and society.” - Dean Gordon Brown.

In this quote‚ H.G. Wells asked one of the most commonly asked questions in time travel‚ why can people not move about in time as they wish? Black Holes present the

Fan Cart Lab We did a fan cart for our physics class the other day. To set up the lab first‚ we measured the effect of the mass of the fan cart on the acceleration of the cart. The mass of the fan cart was the independent variable and acceleration was the dependent variable. We kept the speed of the cart on medium‚ and calculated the acceleration and motion. As a result‚ we had figured out that the bigger the mass the slower the acceleration‚ as we all should have known. To calculate this we used

1. I’m a bit intimidated by physics‚ however I believe I can learn anything as long as I put time into it. I feel my biggest challenge would be dealing with the mathematics in physics. Although there is math involved I would not say I have a negative outlook on physic. Physics was not a subject or a profession that was glamorized when I was a kid‚ so there was limited interest. 2. The question I ask myself after watching Dr. Greene’s video‚ is why physics is not glamorized such as sports
