Von Richthofen, Einstein and the AGA Estimating Achievement from Fame
Von Richthofen, Einstein and the AGA Estimating achievement from fame Every schoolboy has heard of Einstein; fewer have heard of Antoine Becquerel; almost nobody has heard of Nils Dalén. Yet they all won Nobel Prizes for Physics. Can we gauge a scientist’s achievements by his or her fame? If so, how? And how do fighter pilots help? Mikhail Simkin and Vwani Roychowdhury look for the linkages. “It was a famous victory.” We instinctively rank the had published. However, in 2001–2002 popular French achievements of great men and women by how famous TV presenters Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff published they are. But is instinct enough? And how exactly does a great man’s fame relate to the greatness of his achieve- ment? Some achievements are easy to quantify. Such is the case with fighter pilots of the First World War. Their achievements can be easily measured and ranked, in terms of their victories – the number of enemy planes they shot down. These aces achieved varying degrees of fame, which have lasted down to the internet age. A few years ago we compared1 the fame of First World War fighter pilot aces (measured in Google hits) with their achievement (measured in victories); and we found that We can estimate fame grows exponentially with achievement. fame from Google; Is the same true in other areas of excellence? Bagrow et al. have studied the relationship between can this tell us 2 achievement and fame for physicists . The relationship Manfred von Richthofen (in cockpit) with members of his so- about actual they found was linear.

The Nobel Prize in Physics and Lise Meitner
The Nobel Prize in Physics and Lise Meitner Ringvorlesung Zum Gedenken an Lise Meitner 2018/19 FU, Berlin, 4 February 2019 Karl Grandin, KVA – CVH “The women who were swindled out of the Nobel Prize” Questions • Is Lise Meitner forgotten? • Why did she chose Sweden? • No support in Sweden? • Was she counteracted by Manne Siegbahn? • Why did she not get the Nobel Prize in 1945 (1946, 1947)? • What happened then? Lise Meitner to Margarethe Bohr 25/11-1945 ”Du weisst ja, dass ich immer das Gefühl habe, das ich mit meiner ganzen Art nicht nach Schweden passe und ich habe auch noch keinen schwedischen Physiker getroffen”. Eva von Bahr and Lise Meitner in Berlin Eva von Bahr at Uppsala Physics institute Oskar Klein and Niels Bohr Atomic bombs over Hiroshima 6 August and over Nagasaki 9 August 1945 The Research institute for experimental physics of the Swedish Academy of Sciences, 1937– Manne Siegbahn Eva von Bahr-Bergius to Carl Wilhelm Oseen 31/1-1939 ”It doesn't seem possible to get any [assistant] now and Lise sounds rather unhappy. She says, she feels like a charlatan, who receives money [from the Nobel Committee 5,400 SEK + Eva vB-B], although she cannot accomplish much, and her life seems to her completely pointless. […] If she for the past two years had not been so unaccustomed to simpler technical work such as glass blowing, soldering etc. that she now cannot cope with such.” Carl Wilhelm Oseenen to Eva von Bahr-BergiusBahr 2/2-1939 ”Is it true what L.M. says, that it is an assistant she needs? Isn't it rather so, that what she needs is a - even with regard to staff - fully equipped institute, as whose brain she could be? The quote that you mentioned, seems to me, to point quite firmly in this direction.

Site created by Bibhas De May 30, 2008 marks the birth centennial of Nobel Prizewinning Swedish physicist Hannes Alfvén. This site is a pictorial tribute to him, composed of material culled from the Internet as well as from private files. You can read a biography of Hannes Alfvén here. Marc Chagall: Bouquet pour ... (Image source: Arrhenius - nobelprize.org; Klein - www.kosmologika.net) The legendary scientist Svante Arrhenius had a most illustrious student, physicist Oskar Klein. Klein's student was Hannes Alfvén. Interestingly, Alfvén would come to be a close collaborator of Gustaf Arrhenius, grandson of Svante Arrhenius. (Image sourse: nobelprize.org) The famed Swedish physicist (Nobel Laureate) Manne Siegbahn was also a teacher to Hannes Alfvén. (Image source: answers.com) The noted Swedish composer Hugo Alfvén was Hannes Alfvén's uncle. Stories about Hannes Alfvén (Contributed by Carl-Gunne Fälthammar) THE MAKINGS OF HANNES ALFVÉN (Image courtesy Carl-Gunne Fälthammar) Hannes Alfvén as a child reading a book on Popular Astronomy by Camille Flammarion. According to Hannes’ own account, two childhood experiences had a significant influence on his intellectual development and scientific career. One was a book on popular astronomy by Camille Flammarion, which he was given at a young age and which kindled a lifelong fascination with astronomy and astrophysics. (Image source: wikimedia) Sixteenth century woodcut of a man exploring the meeting of the Earth and the Sky, by Camille Flammarion. The other experience was that he joined the school’s radio club where he was an active member and built radio receivers. This instilled in him a profound interest in electronics.

List of Nobel Laureates 1
List of Nobel laureates 1 List of Nobel laureates The Nobel Prizes (Swedish: Nobelpriset, Norwegian: Nobelprisen) are awarded annually by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the Swedish Academy, the Karolinska Institute, and the Norwegian Nobel Committee to individuals and organizations who make outstanding contributions in the fields of chemistry, physics, literature, peace, and physiology or medicine.[1] They were established by the 1895 will of Alfred Nobel, which dictates that the awards should be administered by the Nobel Foundation. Another prize, the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, was established in 1968 by the Sveriges Riksbank, the central bank of Sweden, for contributors to the field of economics.[2] Each prize is awarded by a separate committee; the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awards the Prizes in Physics, Chemistry, and Economics, the Karolinska Institute awards the Prize in Physiology or Medicine, and the Norwegian Nobel Committee awards the Prize in Peace.[3] Each recipient receives a medal, a diploma and a monetary award that has varied throughout the years.[2] In 1901, the recipients of the first Nobel Prizes were given 150,782 SEK, which is equal to 7,731,004 SEK in December 2007. In 2008, the winners were awarded a prize amount of 10,000,000 SEK.[4] The awards are presented in Stockholm in an annual ceremony on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death.[5] As of 2011, 826 individuals and 20 organizations have been awarded a Nobel Prize, including 69 winners of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.[6] Four Nobel laureates were not permitted by their governments to accept the Nobel Prize.

The discovery and interpretation of the shifts in the X-ray spectra in the early 1920's are treated as an introduction and general background. The discovery of the shifts in photo-electron spectra, dis- covered in the late 1950's, and its interpretation, which led to the invention of the ESCA method { Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis { in the early 1960's, are then reviewed. Various methods of evaluating the core-electron binding energies and chemical shift are discussed { from atomic self-consistent-¯eld calculations in the early 1960's to quite sophisticated many-body and density-functional calculation in the late 1990's. ¤[email protected] 1 1 Introduction sec:Intro At the ICESS-9 Conference on Electronic Spectroscopy and Structure, which is celebrating the 40:th anniversary of the ESCA method { Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis { and at the same time the 85:th birthday of the inventor Kai Siegbahn, I have been asked to give a review with historical emphasis of the chemical shifts in electron spectroscopy.

The Nobel Prize instituted on the lines of its mentor and founder Alfred Nobel's last will to establish a series of prizes for those who confer the “greatest benefit on mankind’ is widely regarded as the most coveted international award given in recognition to excellent work done in the fields of Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, and Peace. The Prize since its introduction in 1901 has a very impressive list of winners and each of them has their own story of success. It is heartening that a seminar is being organized annually focusing on the Nobel Prize winning work of the Nobel laureates of that particular year. The initiative is indeed laudable as it will help teachers as well as students a lot in knowing more about the works of illustrious recipients and drawing inspiration to excel and work for the betterment of mankind. I am sure the proceeding to be brought out on the occasion will be highly enlightening.
