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

The emergence of physics as a discipline from the laboratory phenomena of conversion of forces (mechanics‚ chemistry‚ electricity‚ magnetism‚ optics‚ and thermometry) to thermodynamics‚ electromagnetism‚ and the atomic theory of matter from aether physics to energy physics from mathematics and natural philosophy to physics being experimental and theoretical. Scientists believed in its reality because natural philosophy

He completed his Master’s degree in Physics from the same college and broke all previous records. After ten years of Government services‚ Raman resigned to work as a professor of physics at the Kolkata University. He stayed there for fifteen years. It was the period when he received world wide recognition for his work in optics and scattering of light his pioneering

The scientific Revolution was a significant milestone between the 1540s-1700s in Europe that has had a great impact on global history. This period in history promoted the ideas that an individual can believe and understand everything based on reason. It created developments in fields such as astronomy‚ mathematics‚ medicine and so on. It is believed that the scientific revolution came about due to the works and theories of Nicholas Copernicus(1473-1543). Copernicus’s astronomical views and theories

Exploring the virtual reality conjecture Brian Whitworth Introduction Computers today simulate entire worlds‚ with their own time‚ space and objects‚ but that our world could be so is normally a topic of science fiction‚ not physics. Yet that the world is illusory has a long history. In Buddhism‚ the world expresses the Universal Mind‚ in Hinduism it is Maya‚ the illusion of "God’s play”‚ and to Plato it was just shadows flickering on a wall1. That the world is digital is also not new‚ as to

At the time it was necessary in the German-speaking world to study at more than one university and in 1901 Ehrenfest transferred to Gottingen‚ which until 1933 was an important centre for mathematics and theoretical physics. There he met his future wife Tatyana A. Afanasyeva‚ a young mathematician born in Ukraine and educated in Russia.. In the meantime he prepared a dissertation on The motion of rigid bodies in fluids and the mechanics of Hertz. On June 23‚ 1904 he
