A Scientific Perspective

Source: hackaday.com “Physics is like sex; sure, it may give some practical results, but that’s not why we do it” - Feynman Richard P. Feynman (Richard Phillips Feynman) was one of the revolutionary scientists of the twentieth-century and by far the coolest among his generation of Physicists. Born in New York in 1918, he had Russian and Polish genes which did contribute to his geniuses. He had a nick for Physics since his childhood and pursued this field with such coolness and ambition that he is regarded as one of the best teachers in Physics as well. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1965 for his work which tied together with light, radio, electricity, and magnetism. This work revolutionized Quantum Physics and Quantum Electrodynamics and made the study of the interaction of subatomic particles easier. This work was later called “FeynmanDiagrams” . Feynman’s high standing among physicists was not only due to his brilliance in Physics but his bold and colorful personal...

Marie Curie Gather round eager minds, today we discuss one of the most influential women in modern science, her name inspires confidence in women as she left behind a legacy of scientific truths and empowerment during times when women were barely allowed to participate in science. We are of course talking about Madam Marie Curie . The proud Polish woman immortalized forever in the scientific literature. Born in Warshow on the 7th of November 1867, of the well-known teachers Bronislawa Boguska and Wladyslaw Sklodowska, it is not a secret that her family was knowledgeable one which may be perhaps where her curiosity stemmed from. As her family lost property through Polish national uprisings, condemning her siblings to a rough start on life. As conditions worsened with her father losing his job and her mother passing away, she found herself slipping down the spiral of depression and it did not help that any attempts made by her to get into educational institutions for higher st...

Neil Degrasse Tyson “The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it.” Astrophysics is a branch of astronomical sciences which employs the concepts of physics and chemistry to make sure of the nature of heavenly bodies. This branch of science may seem a little boring, time-consuming, even for some people it is a waste of time but some people study this field, spend their lives exploring the universe. Then there comes a guy who is an actor, writer, a TV show host and an Astrophysicist “Neil Degrasse Tyson”. He is a great science communicator, most of his published books are best sellers. Yes, he is a scientist yet he is one of the most influential people on Earth. This guy instead of being popular for some scientific achievement is popular for his ability to popularize science. He is a philosopher and not an ordinary philosopher but he makes people love Astronomy and make people love science and accept it. “Welcome to the Universe: An Astro...
