Click here for information on how to purchase the book. Life has three dimensions. One is the evolutionary dimension: living organisms evolve over time. One is the reproduction dimension: living organisms are capable of reproducing. One is the metabolic dimension: living organisms change shape during their life. Each dimension can be studied with the mathematical tools that Physics has traditionally employed to study matter. But it is apparent that traditional Physics cannot explain life. Life exhibits properties that rewrite Physics. The Origin Of Self-organization: life as negative entropy The paradox underlying natural selection (from the point of view of physicists) is that on one hand it proceeds in a blind and purpose-less way and on the other hand produces the illusion of more and more complex design. This continuous increase in information (i.e., the spontaneous emergence of order) seems to violate the second law of Thermodynamics, the law of entropy. Ludwig von Bertalanffy borrowed the term "anamorphosis" from the biologist Woltereck to describe the natural trend towards emergent forms of increasing complexity.

Atomic Bomb Timeline This timeline is being assembled collaboratively by the students in Making the Bomb , a course being taught at the College of the Atlantic, spring term, 1999. This page is a work in progress Isaac Newton: modeled the atom using billiard balls. Martin Heinrich Klaproth extracted a grayish metallic material from a sample of Joachimsthal pitchblend and named it Uranium. James Clerk Maxwell: introduced the electro magnetic field around atoms. Balmer: the Balmer series was introduced, light was shot through hydrogen and the light spectrum that came from it was studied. Heinrich Hertz: discovered electric waves (radio). Rydberg: found a more consistent bomber series, led to Rydberg constant. William Roentgen: discovered x-rays. Henry Becquerel: finds radioactivity. J.J. Thompson: discovered electrons using cathode rays, showed that glowing matter wasn't light waves. E. Rutherford: publishes discoveries on radiation, including alpha and beta particles. Planck's quantized radiation formula. Plank discovers that certain particles can only vibrate at certain energies, this led to Planks constant. (Through 1903): Rutherford and Soddy work on spontaneous decay and radioactivity, half lives and the amount of energy released.

The Linus Pauling Papers Biographical Information Documents Visuals Exhibit Biographical Information The Search for the Molecular Helix How Antibodies and Enzymes Work The Molecular Basis of Disease Two Nobel Prizes ... All Visuals Jump to Chronology Linus Carl Pauling, the only person to win two unshared Nobel Prizes, revolutionized the study of chemistry, helped found the field of molecular biology, and made important advances in medical research. Linus Pauling was born 28 February 1901 in Portland, Oregon, to a self-taught druggist, Herman Henry William Pauling, and Isabelle (Belle) Pauling, the descendent of a pioneer family. Linus received a strong blow at age nine when his father died of a perforating ulcer, leaving a wife, son, and two daughters on the edge of poverty. Belle Pauling, stunned by her husband's sudden death and disabled by pernicious anemia, spent her remaining years running a boarding house on the outskirts of Portland. Linus withdrew into books and hobbies. At age 14, a visit with a friend who owned a toy chemistry set started Pauling on his life's work. Entranced by the flames, smokes, odors, and by the sight of mysterious changes in solutions and powders, Pauling ran home and began assembling a rough "laboratory" in a corner of his basement. Here he spent his teenage years seeking order and solace in science. During high school a sympathetic chemistry teacher recognized Pauling's talent and provided special tutoring. At age 16 Pauling dropped out to enroll at Oregon Agricultural College (now Oregon State University), intending to pursue a degree in chemical engineering.

Erwin Schr dinger 12 Aug 1887 - 4 Jan 1961 Austrian i h = H Y t A student at Vienna, he taught there for 10 years from 1910 to 1920 before going to Zurich in 1921 and Berlin in 1927 where he became a colleague of Einstein 's. He made very important contributions to wave mechanics and the general theory of relativity. Wave mechanics was proposed by him in 1926 while he was teaching in Zurich. This was the second formulation of quantum theory, the first being matrix mechanics due to Heisenberg . He was awarded the Nobel prize for this work in 1933. Although he was a Catholic he decided in 1933 that he couldn't live in a country in which persecution of Jews had become a national policy. He left, spending time in Austria, Britain and Italy before settling in Dublin, Ireland in 1940. He remained in Dublin until he retired in 1956 when he returned to Vienna.

History of Science Research Project Bill Stifler Chattanooga State Technical Community College Purpose Format Focus Types of Scientists ... Internet Purpose One criticism frequently lodged against the educational system is that schools turn out students who have little interest in or knowledge of math and science. The purpose of this paper is to enhance our understanding of what it is that a scientist does and to expose us to some of the men and women of science who have been influential in advancing scientific research and understanding and, in consequence, have helped to shape our modern world. Return to Menu Format Students will write a research paper 5-7 pages in length (1250-1750 words) researching the life and work of a prominent scientist (see attached list of suggested names). Students may use any sources availablebooks, journals, magazinesbut must have a minimum of five printed sources. Students will do an annotated bibliography (typewritten) of these sources including each citation in MLA format (Capital Community-Technical College in Hartford, CT, had a Guide for Writing Research Papers with useful information on MLA citations) and a brief description of the source, its value and the type of information it contains relative to the scientist being researched.

I PIONIERI DELLA FISICA DA ARCHIMEDE A CARLO RUBBIA Webmaster ed Autore: Prof. Antonino Cucinotta Dottore in Fisica Docente di Elettronica e Telecomunicazioni presso l'Istituto Tecnico Industriale"Verona Trento" di Messina ARCHIMEDE GALILEO GALILEI ISACCO NEWTON ALESSANDRO VOLTA ... SIMON VAN DER MEER LORD ERNEST RUTHERFORD Fisico inglese (1871-1937) Sono fondamentali le sue ricerche sui fenomeni radioattivi, effettuate dal 1897 al 1907 in collaborazione con J.J. Thomson e F.Soddy, per determinare le leggi di decadimento ( a e b ) degli elementi radioattivi delle tre famiglie naturali (dell'uranio-radio, del torio e dell' attinio). Nell'ambito di ciascuna serie il capostipite, che è l'elemento con la vita media più lunga (alcuni miliardi di anni), decadendo si trasforma nell'elemento radioattivo successivo, e così via attraverso tutti gli elementi instabili consecutivi, fino alla formazione di un elemento stabile (un isotopo del piombo). La sua principale scoperta riguarda il nucleo atomico. Nel 1911 Rutherford , dopo due anni di ricerche effettuate assieme Geiger e Marsden ,bombardando sottili foglie d'oro con particelle a ed esaminando la distribuzione angolare delle particelle diffuse in tutte le direzioni, si rese conto dell' impossibilità di accettare il modello atomico proposto nel 1902 da J.J. Thomson, che immaginava gli elettroni dispersi
