... for without any academic connections, Einstein published, at the age of 26, four papers in the journal Annalen der Physik. These four papers would alter the course of twentieth-century physics. The first paper dealt with the random thermal motions of molecules in colloidal solutions, called Brownian motion. This was first noted in 1827 by the English botanist Robert Brown. Einstein ... his work with relativity, which would become his most famous work. From the 1920s on, Einstein worked to bring together concepts of gravity and electromagnetism into a grand unified theory of physics. Mea...

Renowned by her colleagues for her contributions to abstract algebra and theoretical physics, Emmy Noether, is often recognized as the most creative abstract algebraist of modern times.2 Although she was born during a grave time in the history of our world, she didn't let that get in the way of her research, it is said she even published groundbreaking papers under a mans name3. Born ... of math and science. One contribution was of the famous theorem that was named after her, Noether's Theorem. Noether's Theorem, initial developed for institution in mathematics, was a breakthrough in theoreti...

... sun every time the nile flooded which was every 365 days. Around 4236 B.C., the egyptians made a 365-day calendar. This is significant because it was the first recorded year in history. The Egyptians also made obelisks, tall statues which resembled the current Washington Monument. They noticed that the sun formed moving shadows off of these obelisks, which divided the day into ... standard is currently used by all scientists, and has a margin of error of "one-millionth of a second per year". 4) Albert Einstein is one of the two most famous names in physics history. He and Newton had sev...
