The Elegant Universe is a book‚ also adapted into a television broadcast‚ in which Brian Greene introduces and discusses the string and superstring theory. Greene discusses the essential problem facing modern physics: unification of Einstein’s two theories‚ general relativity and quantum mechanics. He suggests that the string theory is the solution to these two conflicting theories. Albert Einstein‚ throughout the last thirty years of his life‚ was determined to pursue a single theory so powerful

sense of the term‚ with the goal of giving objective views on software related objects and phenomena. The well known problem of software development is that there is very little scientific foundation to the subject. Electrical engineers can use physics as the foundation of their activities. As a result the measures they use in their daily work‚ such as Volt and Ampere‚ correspond to well defined phenomena (electric potential‚ electric current)‚ and satisfy the rules and properties defined by

Diffraction refers to various phenomena which occur when a wave encounters an obstacle. In classical physics‚ the diffraction phenomenon is described as the apparent bending of waves around small obstacles and the spreading out of waves past small openings. Similar effects occur when a light wave travels through a medium with a varying refractive index‚ or a sound wave travels through one with varying acoustic impedance. Diffraction occurs with all waves‚ including sound waves‚ water waves‚ and electromagnetic

Stephen Hawking was born on 8 January 1942 to Dr. Frank Hawking‚ a research biologist‚ and Isobel Hawking. He had two younger sisters‚ Philippa and Mary‚ and an adopted brother‚ Edward.[11] Though Hawking’s parents were living in North London‚ they moved to Oxford while his mother was pregnant with Stephen‚ desiring a safer location for the birth of their first child. (London was under attack at the time by the Luftwaffe.)[12] According to Hawking‚ a German V-2 missile struck only a few streets away

did not believe he could do well‚ though they gave him the nickname of Einstein. College Life Hawking’s father who was a doctor‚ wanted him to study medicine at Oxford. However‚ he was more interested in Mathematics. It turned out that he studied Physics‚ as the University College did not provide degree studies in Mathematics. Hawking was awarded a first class honors degree in Natural Science after 3 years of studies‚ without doing much work‚ as he described in his auto-biography. At the age of 20

It is central to most of science and technology‚ blending at one extreme into physics‚ mathematics and engineering and at the other into the earth and life sciences. Chemists are employed in industries which provide us with food‚ energy‚ consumer goods‚ in regulatory bodies that protect our health and environment and in research institutions

The realm of light In the essay "Light‚ Our One Absolute” by Hugh Kenner‚ the topic of discussion is the commemoration of Albert Einstein and his Theory of Relativity. The author seems infatuated with light and its properties. In fact‚ it seems that he thinks that before the world was created there was the notion of just light. After this fact‚ he divulges into a story about the child Einstein which is the inspiration behind why Einstein might have done what he did. Young

The Law of Attraction proves to be the most powerful law in the universe‚ as is shown through the study of quantum physics and the relationship between the flow of energy into and out of the body. If humans learn to manifest the energies of the universe and one’s own being in a proper manner‚ we will be able to accomplish everything our hearts desire‚ according to the

When Gustav Robert Kirchhoff’s banker questioned the financial unreliability that would result from Mr. Kirchhoff investing his hard-earned gold in Fraunhofer lines‚ Kirchhoff handed him the medal he had earned from his research and replied “Look here‚ I have succeeded at last in fetching some gold from the sun.” Despite how phenomenally sassy this quote makes him appear‚ Kirchhoff lived a quiet life (aside from his incredible scientific contributions‚ of course). Gustav Robert Kirchhoff was born
