  • The Links of Chain of Development of Physics from Past to the Present in a Chronological Order Starting from Thales of Miletus
    ISSN (Online) 2393-8021 IARJSET ISSN (Print) 2394-1588 International Advanced Research Journal in Science, Engineering and Technology Vol. 5, Issue 10, October 2018 The Links of Chain of Development of Physics from Past to the Present in a Chronological Order Starting from Thales of Miletus Dr.(Prof.) V.C.A NAIR* Educational Physicist, Research Guide for Physics at Shri J.J.T. University, Rajasthan-333001, India. *[email protected] Abstract: The Research Paper consists mainly of the birth dates of scientists and philosophers Before Christ (BC) and After Death (AD) starting from Thales of Miletus with a brief description of their work and contribution to the development of Physics. The author has taken up some 400 odd scientists and put them in a chronological order. Nobel laureates are considered separately in the same paper. Along with the names of researchers are included few of the scientific events of importance. The entire chain forms a cascade and a ready reference for the reader. The graph at the end shows the recession in the earlier centuries and its transition to renaissance after the 12th century to the present. Keywords: As the contents of the paper mainly consists of names of scientists, the key words are many and hence the same is not given I. INTRODUCTION As the material for the topic is not readily available, it is taken from various sources and the collection and compiling is a Herculean task running into some 20 pages. It is given in 3 parts, Part I, Part II and Part III. In Part I the years are given in Chronological order as per the year of birth of the scientist and accordingly the serial number.

The life at University of California, Riverside endows me so much memory, capability, painful experience, happy time, active mind and strong work ethics, which will add significant value to my future. Writing this dissertation is not only an essential requirement for pursuing a Ph.D. degree, also a very good chance to take a look back at what I have achieved and who I should appreciate in the past five years. First and foremost I want to make a sincere acknowledgment to my supervisor, Prof. Jing Shi who gives me extensive research opportunities and professional academic advices. I joined the Shi’s group since the second year of Ph.D. study. Dr. Shi helps me build up a long term research proposal focusing on the emergent material topological insulator and related heterostructures. Dr.Shi encourages me to have the aggressive attitude towards the research work with great passion. He teaches me the scientific thinking and working mode and enjoys discussing about insightful ideas and challenging problems with me. With his support and delicate supervision, I also set up a successful collaboration with people inside and outside campus.

Teoretisk fysik är egentligen en metod (jfr. experimentell och numerisk fysik) som täcker alla områden av fysiken: Kondenserad materie Optik Kärnfysik Högenergifysik,... 3 Kring nyttan av teoretisk fysik Rutherford 1910: “How can a fellow sit down at a table and calculate something that would take me, me, six months to measure in the laboratory?” 1928: Dirac realized that his equation in fact describes two spin-1/2 particles with opposite charge. He first thought the two were the electron and the proton, but it was then pointed out to him by Igor Tamm and Robert Oppenheimer that they must have the same mass, and the new particle became the anti-electron, the positron.
