by the vacuum but the particles in the cosmic dance are creating and destructing with endless pattern (Fritjof Capra, 1975). “For modern physicists, then, Shiva’s dance is the dance of sub atomic matter. As in Hindu mythology, it is a continual dance of creation and destruction involving the whole cosmos the basis of existence and all natural phenomenon.” (Fritjof Capra, 1975). In the 18th and 19th century western civilization discussed the existence of biological energy, life force, animal magnetism

Nicolas Di Lucia 6/5/11 Why Albert Einstein is the most influential historical figure Albert Einstein, who arguably contributed more than any other scientist since Sir Isaac Newton to our modern vision of physical reality, is clearly one of the most gifted intellects the world has ever known. In a relatively brief period of time, Einstein changed the way people thought about space, time, gravitation and war. Albert Einstein was born on March 15, 1879, in

it wasn't for Ernest Rutherford? We would probably still think that the atom was indivisible and unchangeable, or even there is no such thing as a proton. Ernest Rutherford is a famous physicist known for coining some basic terms in the field of physics such as; alpha rays, beta rays, gamma rays, the proton, the neutron, and half-life. He worked among the side of other great physicists like J.J. Thomson, Niels Bohr, Frederick Soddy, James Chadwick and Hans Geiger; together they discovered a whole

practitioner for science, but he is also very notable for his contributions to mathematics because he created the Theory of Relativity with the famous mathematic equation E = MC2, which allowed for many advancements in math and science, but also helped the atomic bomb in World War II to be created. Pythagoras, a Greek philosopher, is another great contributor to mathematics as he developed the Pythagorean Theorem, which allows all angles of a right triangle to be measured equally. Without this concept, we

careers as their entire life’s work becomes refuted; although in particular, Meitner’s errors were limited. Amongst these mistakes was her strong dismissal of the transuranic element process discovered by Enrico Fermi, which is when elements with an atomic number that surpasses 92 and have characteristics which make them radioactive and able to be synthesized by different weight particle cross exposure. This was a breakthrough discovery in the scientific community specifically the chemical society,

Linus Pauling was the greatest chemist of the twentieth century – arguably of all time. He was a theoretical physical chemist who became the only person to have won two unshared Nobel Prizes. Growing up in Oregon, Pauling taught himself the fundamentals of chemistry while he was still a teen. His work on chemical bonding marks him as one of the founders of modern quantum chemistry, and his discovery of the alpha helix and beta sheet is a major foundation for the study of protein structure. Although

Science became a gateway for everything. With the help of science, William Harvey discovered medicine. He used science as a base. Similarly, in chemistry, Robert Boyle (1627- 1691), extrapolating from the atomic theory inherited from ancient Greece, described the molecular structure of compounds. In physics, he both determined the role of air in the propagation of sound and derived Boyle’s law (pg. 485). Realistically, science became a foundation of everything. Science made people turn theirs thinking into

Albert Einstein is widely known for the atomic bomb, his studies in physics and medicine, also proving gravity was a pushing force. Einstein had a lot of adversity in his life, but he surmounts the negative connotations of him and other Jews. Einstein faced adversity during his life, he had to take several breaks in his research, but he triumphed over it by proving everyone wrong. Einstein went to university at the university of Zurich, he had many jobs, he was at risk during the holocaust and wars

Physics, Love, and Richard Feynman Introduction Physics. Love. These two words sum up the entities that Richard Feynman held most important throughout his entire life. An extraordinary individual, Feynman was able to combine an incredible mind with an incredible personality to achieve ends bordering on the magical. After Feynman's death in 1988, physicist Hans Bethe, paraphrasing the mathematician Mark Kac, spoke of two kinds of geniuses. He explained that the ordinary kind does great things
