there's 800 posts, about 700 are probably mine. I'm done for now- somebody else take over for a little while.

[I'm trying, Mochillla ... I'm trying!! But ... I'm OLD!:eek:]
 
If this post wins,, I'm giving my winnings to Mochilla. I just took pics. This is the most serious defensive shank yet,,

[I know ... pitiful. But I'm a-tryin'.]

[Don't you admire how Mochilla has stuck to this. It ain't easy.]

[In fact, if by some freak of statistics, I win this thing -- I'm passing it right on to Mochilla. He has earned it.]

[Louis, the 7th duc de Broglie's doctoral thesis in physics was only 10 pgs long. "Recherches sur la theorie des qanta." His thesis examiners were so confused, they had to pass it on to Albert Einstein ... who pronounced it not only sound, but positively revolutionary. It is Louis we have to thank for understanding wave-particle duality. Louis-Victor-Pierre-Raymond served as the Perpetual Secretary of the French Academie des sciences ... who knows how many of the revolutions of the 1920s are due to his quiet, but altogether brilliant, physical insights. And now you know ... the rest of the story.:)]

[Werner Heisenberg gave us not only the uncertainty principle, but also the matrix formulation of quantum mechanics (1925). Many laymen do not realize that when Albert escaped to America, Werner remained behind to head the German nuclear energy project (the so-called Uranium Club). In fact, Werner was "detained" by the Allies when the war ended. Although I have little or no objective proof, I have always suspected that Werner sabotaged the Nazi's project from within, making certain that the free world did not have to fear a Nazi atomic bomb. Of course, his reputation in the world beyond the German borders never fully recovered. Sad.]

[Max Planck was often called "the old man of physics," being already rather well-along when the 20th century dawned. Still, he was clearly one of the founding fathers of quantum theory (he won the Nobel in 1918). Amongst physicists, his name is rightly still revered, but did you know he was quite the musician? He sang and played the cello, the piano, and several varieties of the organ. I know he also composed several operas. How did he end up a physicist? I believe it was his Germanic stubbornness -- his physics professor in Munich, the reviled Philipp von Jolly, advised Max against becoming a physicist. Why? Because "almost everything is already discovered." Foolish, foolish man.;)]

{Even today, we have only just begun to understand the beautiful way in which nature is arranged.}

[And now we come to Erwin. Erwin Rudolf Josef Alexander Schroedinger, one of the most brilliant theoretical physicists who ever lived. While at the University of Zurich, Erwin published the immortal "Quantisierung als Eigenwertproblem" or "Quantization as an Eigenvalue Problem." It revolutionized our fundamental understanding of nature and established the Schroedinger wave equation as the most proper way to treat time-independent natural systems. In fact, Erwin derived the equation from first principles, treating the hydrogen atom properly for the first time and deriving its energy eigenvalues. This paper was immediately followed by a number of brilliant treatments of natural systems using his approach to quantum mechanics. Truly, the four papers he published in 1921 - 22 constitute some of the most important scientific achievements of a century brimming with brilliance.:)]

{And today, we poor, dim reflections of the brilliant physicists of the early years of the 20th century all struggle through Erwin's first four papers in enormous detail. Trying, with limited success, to achieve a fraction of his prodigious insight. Since the death of Professor Feynman, I think the members of my profession have been stumbling about in the twilight.:o}

There is a lovely bust of Dr. Schrodinger at the University of Vienna. What does it say? 'ihPsi(dot) = HPsi" ;):cool:

[George Eugene Uhlenbeck was born at the dawn of the 20th century. Another theoretical physicist, this time of Dutch-American extraction. George gave us the theory of intrinsic electron spin ... which, strangely enough, has motivated much of the solid state technology on which all of us depend. He helped America develop radar during WWII and was a magnificent teacher. George was a student of the great Austrian physicist, Paul Ehrenfest. George and many of the gentlemen I've mentioned in these few posts were part of a great "club" of physicists/scientists that also included Enrico Fermi, Oskar Klein, Niels Bohr, the Curies, Ernest Rutherford, Max Planck, and the little patent clerk himself ... Albert Einstein. I am the proud owner of an old black and white photo of most of these over-achievers, taken at a moment of celebration during the 20's.]

In those days, there were giants in the earth.

[Have you ever noticed how Western-centric we are in our views, our beliefs, our culture? By this point, I've reminded you of many great scientists of America and Europe in the early part of the 20th century. Have you heard of Satyendra Nath Bose? He was an Indian physicist -- another theoretician. Never awarded the Nobel Prize, he did the very first real work in particle statistics within the quantum mechanical framework. It is to him and him alone that we owe our present understanding of photons (light) and the extremely important concept of the boson (spin zero particles of particular importance). Can you imagine our modern world without lasers, optical communications, fibers ... and, eventually, a complete photonic technology? We owe all of this and more to the quiet, self-effacing Dr. Bose.]

Do you know who "discovered" Satyendra? He found he could not publish his ground-breaking early work, probably because no one understood it ... and possibly because he was "just an Indian." When he sent a translation of his first paper to Dr. Einstein, that all changed.;) Albert translated the article laboriously into German by himself and submitted it to the prestigious Zeitschrift fur Physik. And Dr. Bose was on his way ... :thumbup:
