theory of relativity‚ one of the two pillars of modern physics (alongside quantum mechanics).[2][3] While best known for his mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2 (which has been dubbed "the world’s most famous equation")‚[4] he received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics‚ and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect".[5] The latter was pivotal in establishing quantum theory. Near the beginning of his career‚ Einstein thought that Newtonian

Article On Physicist Involved In Mechanics Paul Ehrenfest was an Austrian and Dutch physicist‚ who made major contributions to the field of statistical mechanics and its relations with quantum mechanics. He was born and grew up in Vienna in a Jewish family from Lostice in Moravia. Ehrenfest excelled in his grades at school but did not do well at the Akademisches Gymnasium‚ his best subject being mathematics. After transferring to the Franz Josef Gymnasium‚ his marks improved and in 1899 he

Tunneling Microscope used quantum tunneling to extract atomically resolved images to understand the morphology of crystalline surfaces including both atomic structures and electron arrangement. The STM tip produced in this experiment acts as a needle that hovers above the crystalline material surfaces (perfect atomic structural patterns) with nanoscale accuracy‚ while emitting electrons from a few nanometers above the surface of the crystalline materials‚ utilizing the quantum tunneling effect to scan

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.

Its necessity arises from the well-known fact that apart from relatively recent results concerning the hydrogen molecular ion (see references therein for more details)‚ the quantum many-body problem cannot be solved analytically‚ much less in closed form. While its results normally complement the information obtained by chemical experiments‚ it can in some cases predict hitherto unobserved chemical phenomena. It is widely used

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
