graduating from Oberlin College in Ohio‚ he set out to determine what a single electron’s electric charge was through a multitude of experiments. He performed the Atomic Theory and Oil Drop experiment. Ernest Rutherford is known as the father of nuclear physics. He first researched the magnetic properties of iron‚ and radioactive bodies. Rutherford discovered radon‚ a new noble gas. He influenced many other people who went on to win Nobel Prizes. Discuss the arrangement of the periodic table. Who created

Einstein published four of his research papers‚ one of them being the Special Theory of Relativity or as most people know it as E=MC². By 1915‚ Albert Einstein finished the General Theory of Relativity. Then in 1921 he was rewarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. This is when his name became popular in all households and was found with all the rest of the stars. Today over half of your devices you use at home has something to do with Albert Einstein.

Due to the fact one cannot overcome the laws of physics‚ humanity must resign‚ for now‚ the idea of collecting energy from a black hole. The black holes of the universe are safe‚ at least for now‚ from the energy guzzling hands of the offspring of the Earth. The attempt to mine from black holes

particularly remembered for his applications of mathematics to mechanics‚ especially fluid mechanics‚ and for his pioneering work in probability andstatistics. Bernoulli’s work is still studied at length by many schools of science throughout the world. In Physics :- He is the earliest writer who attempted to formulate a kinetic theory of gases‚ and he applied the idea to explain Boyle’s law.[2] He worked with Euler on elasticity and the development of the Euler-Bernoulli beam equation.[9] Bernoulli’s principle is

Galileo was born on February 15th‚ 1564 in Pisa‚ Duchy of Florence‚ Italy; recognized as the father of modern science. Galileo was a very educated individual who was interested in many subjects. He displayed the most affection towards mathematics and physics. Galileo’s father’s wish was for him to become a doctor but was intent on being a university professor. After graduating from the University of Padua‚ he became an educator and brought mathematics there. One day‚ Galileo noticed a chandelier swinging

Galileo: Uniformity of Nature and Experimental Physics The Renaissance became one of the factors for the Scientific Revolution‚ bringing on the renewal of ancient times which led to the discovery of "ancient scientific texts (1)." This time period of the Renaissance also known as "the century of genius (1)" brought on a new view of nature bringing about ideas of great minds such as that of Galileo. He could be described as a Renaissance man‚ gifted in many areas as a talented musician‚ an artist

Hawking got into college at Cambridge University in Oxford‚ England in 1959 at 17 years old but Cambridge did not offer mathematics so he went into physics and cosmology which is the study of the universe (McDaniel‚ 30). It was a rough and sometimes boring path but after he got ALS Hawking started to be more devoted to his work. That is when Hawking Radiation was discovered which showed essential information

This number is called Avogadro’s number in honour of Amedeo Avogadro. Full name‚ Lorenzo Romano Amedeo Carlo Avogadro was an Italian physicist‚ born in Italy on August 9‚ 1776. Avogadro graduated in law at the age of 31. He then dedicated himself to physics and mathematics and soon after starting teaching at a high school. In 1811‚ he published an article that contained his hypothesis. Later in 1820‚ he became a professor at a university‚ but lost his job in 1823 due to his involvement in the revolutionary
