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

level to another(but when it jumps must gain or lose energy) Quantum of energy is the amount of energy required to move an electron from one energy level to another. The amount of energy an electron gains or loses ina na atom is not always the same. The higher the energy level occupied by an electron‚ the less energy it takes to move from that energy level to the next higher energy level. iii. The Quantum Mechanical Model The quantum mechanical model determines the allowed energies an electron

There is a parlor game physics students play: Who was the greater genius? Galileo or Kepler? (Galileo) Maxwell or Bohr? (Maxwell‚ but it’s closer than you might think). Hawking or Heisenberg? (A no-brainer‚ whatever the best-seller lists might say. It’s Heisenberg). But there are two figures who are simply off the charts. Isaac Newton is one. The other is Albert Einstein. If pressed‚ physicists give Newton pride of place‚ but it is a photo finish -- and no one else is in the race. Newton’s claim

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

Michal Pogorzelski 5/25/10 Parallel Universe Theories The Theory of Parallel Universes The multiverse is a theory in which our universe is not the only one‚ but states that many universes exist parallel to each other. These distinct universes within the multiverse theory are called parallel universes. A variety of different theories lend themselves to a multiverse viewpoint. Not all physicists really believe that these universes exist. Even fewer believe that it would ever be possible

such conditions‚ a large fraction of the bosons occupy the lowest quantum state‚ at which point quantum effects become apparent on a macroscopic scale. These effects are called macroscopic quantum phenomena.Although later experiments have revealed complex interactions‚ this state of matter was first predicted‚ generally‚ in papers by Satyendra Nath Bose and Albert Einstein in 1924–25. Bose first sent a paper to Einstein on the quantum statistics of light quanta (now called photons). Einstein was impressed

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

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
