It took a long time and a lot of hard work, but it eventually paid off. The journey of Dr. Raul Perez and Dr. Maria Del Carmen Cis- nero began in 1999, when they went from being doctors in Cuba to delivering pizza in Miami, but as the married couple will tell you, repeatedly, “it was worth the struggle.” “We applied for the lottery, and we won,” said Perez through his daughter-in-law who acted as translator. “When we came to the United States, we were in Miami, in a one-bedroom apartment, with four children. He started taking any job he could get,” said Cisnero, also through a translator.

Since the dawn of the history of science from Copernicus (who took the details of Ptolemy, and found a way to look at the same construction from a slightly different perspective and discover that the Earth is not the center of the universe) and Galileo to the present, we (a hoard of talking monkeys who's consciousness is from a collection of connected neurons − hammering away on typewriters and by pure chance eventually ranging the values for the (fundamental) numbers that would allow the development of any form of intelligent life) have gazed at the stars and attempted to chart the heavens and still discovering the fundamental laws of nature often get asked: What is Dark Matter? ... What is Dark Energy? ... What Came Before the Big Bang? ... What's Inside a Black Hole? ... Will the universe continue expanding? Will it just stop or even begin to contract? Are We Alone? Beginning at Stonehenge and ending with the current crisis in String Theory, the story of this eternal question to uncover the mysteries of the universe describes a narrative that includes some of the greatest discoveries of all time and leading personalities, including Aristotle, Johannes Kepler, and Isaac Newton, and the rise to the modern era of Einstein, Eddington, and Hawking.

All that remains is more and more precise measurement.” : Lord Kelvin Abstract: General public regards science as a beautiful truth. But it is absolutely-absolutely false. Science has fatal limitations. The whole the scientific community is ignorant about it. It is strange that scientists are not raising the issues. Science means truth, and scientists are proponents of the truth. But they are teaching incorrect ideas to children (upcoming scientists) in schools /colleges etc. One who will raise the issue will face unprecedented initial criticism.

  • Scuola Internazionale Di Fisica “Enrico Fermi” International School of Physics “Enrico Fermi”
    SOCIETÀ ITALIANA DI FISICA Scuola Internazionale di Fisica “Enrico Fermi” International School of Physics “Enrico Fermi” La Scuola Internazionale di Fisica “Enrico Fermi” (International School of Physics “Enrico Fermi”) con i suoi Corsi è una delle più prestigiose attività culturali della Società Italiana di Fisica (SIF), sin dal 1953. In quell’anno, il Presidente della Società, Giovanni Polvani dell’Università di Milano, concepì l’idea di una Scuola estiva a livello post universitario che avrebbe dovuto conquistare un’altissima rilevanza internazionale. Scelse come sede una magnifica villa sul Lago di Como, Villa Monastero, in Provincia, oggi, di Lecco. Nel tempo, la Scuola di Varenna si è evoluta. Il numero dei Corsi è passato da uno a tre e adesso a quattro all’anno. Il loro prestigio internazionale è rimasto indiscusso. I più celebri scienziati del mondo, come direttori, docenti o studenti hanno partecipato alla Scuola di Varenna. Gli argomenti, monografici, si sono estesi a tutti i campi della fisica, anche in relazione allo sviluppo di nuovi settori, specialmente in Italia e con particolare attenzione all’UE. La Scuola è, da sempre, un’attesa occasione d’incontro per illustri scienziati e giovani allievi provenienti da tutto il mondo. La tranquilla atmosfera, le acque limpide del lago, la vita della Scuola facilitano il dialogo tra i giovani e gli esperti con giovamento intellettuale di entrambi. In conclusione, si può affermare che la International School of Physics “Enrico Fermi” di Varenna è tra le più famose e importanti scuole di fisica post laurea del mondo. Dalla sua istituzione nel 1953, la Scuola ha attratto, come detto, i più illustri studiosi del mondo.

Jamir Governor, Odisha Raj Bhawan Bhubaneswar-751 008 August 13, 2013 EMSSSEM I am glad to know that the School of Chemistry, Sambalpur University, like previous years is organizing a Seminar on "Nobel Prize" on August 24, 2013. 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.
