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‚ translated the paper himself from English to German and submitted it for Bose to the Zeitschrift für Physik‚ which published it. Einstein then extended Bose’s ideas to material particles (or matter) in two other papers.[3]

The reason for this is two-fold: first‚ it will introduce you to the process of proposal writing‚ which is an unavoidable and very important part of modern experimentation‚ and second‚ it will enable us to make any necessary plans for procuring equipment. To start you thinking about this process‚

String Theory Essay Man has always had many questions regarding his surroundings. We are always curious to answer many unknowns and many will remain unanswered‚ but what if there was a theory that would allow us to explain at least all of nature’s forces within a single all encompassing coherent framework. What does this exactly mean? Well‚ explaining the universe in the most intricate and basic detail so one can stand in awe of its beauty and elegance. There is an idea floating around these days

His observations laid the foundation of the creation of the photon theory of light. Einstein is probably the best known and most highly revered scientist of the twentieth century‚ and is associated with major revolutions in our thinking about time‚ gravity‚ and the conversion of matter to energy (E=mc2). Although

relativity. He continued to deal with problems of statistical mechanics and quantum theory‚ which led to his explanations of particle theory and the motion of molecules. He also investigated the thermal properties of light which laid the foundation of the photon theory of light. In 1917‚ Einstein applied the general theory of relativity to model the structure of the universe as a whole. He was visiting the United States when Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933‚ and did not go back to Germany‚ where he had

back to 1981‚ when Richard Feynman noted that physicists always seem to run into computational problems when they try to simulate a system in which quantum mechanics would take place. The caluclations involving the behavior of atoms‚ electrons‚ or photons‚ require an immense amount of time on today’s computers. In 1985 in Oxford England the first description of how a quantum computer might work surfaced with David Deutsch’s theories. The new device would not only be able to surpass today’s computers

An exciton is a bound state of an electron and a hole in an insulator (or semiconductor)‚ or in other words‚ a Coulomb correlated electron/hole pair. It is an elementary excitation of a solid. A vivid picture of exciton formation is as follows: a photon enters a semiconductor‚ exciting an electron from the valence band into the conduction band. The missing electron in the valence band leaves a hole behind‚ of opposite electric charge‚ to which it is attracted by the Coulomb force. The exciton results

Assumptions “There has never been a law of physics that did not demand ‘space’ and ‘time’ for its statement.” John Archibald Wheeler Starting Assumption: Physics today has a large body of experimental observations and mathematical equations that correspond to the experimental observations. Therefore‚ on a superficial level it would appear that we have a good theoretical understanding of nature up to a limit that will be called the frontier of knowledge. However‚ there are many counter intuitive
