The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene (first 150 pages) The book starts out talking about Albert Einstein’s general relativity‚ and quantum mechanics on understanding the universe‚ and how only one could be right not both. Greene began to talk about string theory which is a collection of concepts in which the point like particles of particle physics are switched by one dimensional object called strings. String theory says the particle properties are a reflection of the various ways in which string

the cause(s) of road accident in developing countries is the mechanic who repairs the various vehicles before the vehicles hits the road. Though many attempted to suggest that a vehicle which is not roadworthy is a source of accident‚ they failed to propose means by which this could be rectified in a holistic way. Laws could be enacted to prevent vehicles not roadworthy from operating on the roads but between the two gaps the mechanic plays a significant role in preventing such road accidents occurring

Catherine Gay Mr. Sanders Chemistry December 8‚ 2015 Introduction Alice in Quantum land by Robert Gilmore is a wonderful and creative allegory of Quantum Physics. Throughout the story Alice meets a strange cast of characters‚ each one relating to a quantum function. Through these characters Alice‚ and the readers‚ gain a greater understanding of quantum mechanics. The Heisenberg Bank In chapter two Alice enters the Heisenberg Bank‚ which is‚ for the most part‚ seemingly empty. However Alice

Alice in Quantumland‚ speaks about a law of the quantum world‚ which shows that electrons have no distinguishing features except for their spin. This law being all electrons are identical‚ except that some spin-up‚ whereas others spin-down. The electrons even spin at the same speed. This allows them to interact harmoniously with each other and to find pairs within their space based only on each other ’s spins. In the novel‚ Alice noted that nearby was another similar looking figure to the electron

He also wrote many important books including‚ Physical Principles of the Quantum Theory‚ Cosmic Radiation‚ Physics and Philosophy‚ and Introduction to the Unified Theory of Elementary Particles. In 1932 he won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work in Quantum Mechanics. With the Nazi’s in power‚ and World War two on the horizon it was inevitable that his German heritage would play a crucial role in his career. Before

Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies ‚ which proposes a new theory on the relationship between time and space. This paper served as the foundation for the theory of relativity. The contemporary physics revolution‚ based on the theory of relativity and quantum theory‚ has led science into a new era. Starting from this‚ human exploration has extended to the boundless universe‚ to the distant origin of the cosmos and to the microscopic structure of objects previously unknown to mankind. Contemporary physics

radiation does not act continuously‚ into his mathematics in essence Planck had discovered the quantum structure of electromagnetic radiation. In 1905 Einstein attempted to resolve the conflict between wave and particle theories by demonstrating that part of Planck’s formula can arise only if electromagnetic radiation behaves as if it actually consists of individual "quanta" of energy. With his light quantum hypothesis Einstein could derive both Planck’s formula and also account directly for certain
