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 is obvious. He created modern physics. His system described the behavior of the entire cosmos -- and while others

After taking critical thinking in UB‚ I believe that the core being of a good critical thinker is to be able to determine the difference between what is valid and what is not. The difference between what is valid and what is sound is that validness has to deal with what is more true and the truth tends to demolish all lies. Nevertheless‚ being a good critical thinker isn’t only about what is true and what is not but it is also about how a person is able to deconstruct an impossible problem and somehow

I think Albert Einstein’s letter to Phyllis Wright was immensely rhetorically effective. The response correctly conveys how great scientists such as himself view important things such as religion. Due to the fact that he is considered one of the greatest scientists of all time‚ he has the credibility to report upon his beliefs without infringing on how other scientists would feel about the issue. He also does something very important in any rhetorical piece of writing‚ he takes into account the opposing

What’s a successful person’s greatest resource in difficult times? Good thinking! Good thinkers are always in demand. A person who knows how may always have a job‚ but the person who knows why will always be his boss. Good thinkers solve problems‚ they never lack ideas for building an organization‚ and they always have hope for a better future. Good thinkers rarely find themselves at the mercy of ruthless people who would take advantage of them or try to deceive them‚ people like Nazi dictator

Bose-Einstein Condensate Story Introduction/Scene 1-- It has been 85 years since Albert Einstein and Satyendra Nath Bose first discovered the theory of Bose-Einstein Condensate. It is 2001 now and I and my colleagues‚ Wolfgang Ketterle and Carl Wieman have received the Noble Prize for our experiments that brought about this new phase of matter. Our hard work and dedication will now allow the world an endless amount of advancements in technology on so many levels. Before we get into all that though

The Unreflective Thinker HUM/111 June 10‚ 2012 Dawn Thurmond The Unreflective Thinker After reviewing the text from Linda Elder and Richard Paul‚ I learned that I am most like an unreflective thinker. As of right now that is what I would consider myself. I never notice that I am always making assumptions‚ forming concepts‚ drawing inferences‚ and thinking. During the course of this class I think that I will be able to move on to the challenged thinker stage. I think that my thinking

Albert Einstein – General and Special Theory of Relativity First things to consider before this part of the presentation: Space-time continuum = Space + Time In longer terms: Space-time is a flexible fabric. Space and time are deeply connected. Space-time is flexible; it is malleable. Space-time is curved when there is gravity‚ matter‚ energy‚ and momentum. Special: The faster you reach through space‚ the slower you move through time. (?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHjpBjgIMVk General:
