    A Mathematician's Journey to the Edge of the Universe "The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing." ― Socrates Manjunath.R #16/1, 8th Main Road, Shivanagar, Rajajinagar, Bangalore560010, Karnataka, India *Corresponding Author Email: [email protected] *Website: http://www.myw3schools.com/ A Mathematician's Journey to the Edge of the Universe What’s the Ultimate Question? 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. Anyone can read the book and find out the truth. It is open to everyone. [Manjunath R. Beyond Einstein and Newton: A Scientific Odyssey Through Creation, Higher Dimensions, And The Cosmos.

  • 1947 Invention of the Point-Contact Transistor (Bell Telephone Laboratories) ~ Discrete Semiconductor/Others ~
    Semiconductor History Museum of Japan To search page 1947 Invention of the point-contact transistor (Bell Telephone Laboratories) ~ Discrete Semiconductor/Others ~ In December 1947, John Bardeen (1908-1991) and Walter Houser Brattain (1902-1987) of BTL (Bell Telephone Laboratories) found a phenomenon of current amplification in a pure Ge(germanium) single crystal, with a configuration of two gold needles placed in point contacts to the surface, closely with each other. When an electric current was passed in one needle, then an amplified current flow in the other needle was observed with the amplification of 100 times. This device was named "Transistor" by J.R. Pierce. This transistor invented at the beginning was called a point-contact transistor (Fig. 1). William Shockley (1910-1989) also at BTL found that the operation of this transistor was due to minority carrier injection and diffusion, and he developed this to the invention of the junction transistor (Fig. 2). It was in January 1948, five weeks after the invention of the point-contact transistor. Compared with the point-contact type, the junction transistor was capable of stable operation and was easy to mass-produce. After that, in April 1949 he further invented a transistor with a sandwich structure. It was a bipolar transistor (publicized in July 1951). Shockley, Bardeen, Brattain received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1956. The group of Shockley, Bardeen, Brattain and others confirmed the operation of the point contact transistor using a Ge single crystal in December 1947. BTL published this invention in June 1948, and at the same time Western Electric, the manufacturing department of BTL, announced the plan to mass- produce transistors.

Alasdair and Richard Fraser-Darling kindly spoke with me about their father and allowed me to review family papers. Population-Environment Balance permitted me to view the papers of William Vogt that it held. Librarians at Smith College, Rice University, the Denver Public Library, the Library of Congress, the National Library of Scotland, UNESCO Archives, Yale University, the University of Oklahoma, the University of Central Florida, and West Melbourne Public Library provided invaluable assistance and filled numerous requests for interlibrary loans; I especially note the gracious aid provided in this regard by Cécile Thiéry of the World Conservation Union and Tom Rosenbaum at the Rockefeller Archives Center. Brevard Community College provided me with congenial colleagues, a quiet place to work, and students who inspire me.

I would like to invite you to be our keynote speaker of the event, in the session of the event on “From science to future technologies” that will take place from 9:30 to 10:15. If you accept, you could for example elaborate, from your own experience some of the following topics: the need for having a collaborative research low-TRLs in Europe, how can Europe best foster unpredictable technological breakthroughs? What is at stake for the EU in the on-going global technological race? What are the key factors shaping technological leadership? How scientists from the Eastern Countries are perceiving FET and the opportunities for top-down (FET Proactive) or bottom-up (FET OPEN) research it offers, etc. I am convinced that your experience from Quantum research in FET will be highly appreciated by our stakeholders. 3rd May 2019 On 19 June, we are organizing in Bucharest an event under the Romanian Presidency on the Pathfinder part of the European Innovation Council (including FET Open and FET Proactive).This is part of a bigger 3 days event on EIC and financial instruments.
