probably contributed more to the science than any single person before or after him. Newton’s 1687 publication of the Principia is considered to be among the most influential books in the history of science‚ laying the groundwork for most of classical mechanics. In this work‚ Newton described universal gravitation and the three laws of motion which dominated the scientific view of the physical universe for the next three centuries. Albert Einstein (Father of Modern Physics) Albert Einstein was one

University of Hamburg where he was very influential in the development of the modern Theory of Quantum Mechanics. Gilley 2 Throughout Wolfgang Pauli’s life he made many important contributions in his career as a physicist‚ which was primarily in the field of Quantum Mechanics. He had a very close relationship with Niel Bohr‚ & Werner Heisenberg which he would

Quantum meruit is a Latin phrase meaning "what one has earned". In the context of contract law‚ it means something along the lines of "reasonable value of services". In the United States‚ the elements of quantum meruit are determined by state common law. For example‚ to state a claim for unjust enrichment in New York‚ a plaintiff must allege that (1) defendant was enriched; (2) the enrichment was at plaintiff’s expense; and (3) the circumstances were such that equity and good conscience require

chemistry‚ and certain branches of mathematics and biology‚ but during the Scientific Revolution in the 16th century‚ it emerged to become a unique modern science in its own right. However‚ in some subject areas such as in mathematical physics and quantum chemistry‚ the boundaries of physics remain difficult to distinguish. Physics is both significant and influential‚ in part because advances in its understanding have often translated into new technologies‚ but also because new ideas in physics often

Pauli Exclusion Principle Wolfgang Ernst Pauli was an Austrian theoretical physicist famous for his work on the spin and quantum theory‚ and for the beneficial finding of the Pauli exclusion principle. Pauli was born on April 25th‚ 1900 and died on December 15th‚ 1958. He was a Foreign Member of the Royal Society of London and a member of the Swiss Physical Society‚ the American Physical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Pauli helped to set in place the basis

Maurice Dirac (1902-1984)‚ known as P. A. M. Dirac‚ was the fifteenth Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge. He shared the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1933 with Erwin Schrodinger.[2] He is considered to be the founder of quantum mechanics‚ providing the transition from quantum theory. The Cambridge Philosophical Society awarded him the Hopkins Medal in 1930. He was awarded the Royal Medal by the Royal Society of London in 1939 and the James Scott Prize from the Royal Society of Edinburgh. In 1952

Teleportation Have you ever watched an episode of Star Trek and wondered if the possibility of teleportation existed in real life? Well‚ the good news is that it’s real! In 2008 for the first time ever in history‚ a team of scientists from the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI) at the University of Maryland was able to successfully teleport information directly from one atom to another over the distance of a meter. While this accomplishment isn’t as impressive as teleporting an actual human being‚ it’s still

During the time that he was miserable about how the atom moves and the accurate measurement of both situation and momentum of an atom‚ a meeting among all these forward physical scientists stimulates his genius. Exchanging of others’ attitudes arise up his suspicious of Newton’s classical mechanics. Then he transformed his point to a new hypothesis—which is now called quantum mechanics. We may not ignore the efforts
