On the other hand, Schrodinger considered the electron as a wave. Furthermore, he modified the wave equation, to form classical physics to fit the concept. In the equation, Schrodinger relates the probability region directly to the energy region. In the result of this action a plot of equations provides a three dimensional picture ....

... 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...

... less myriad's of them, and, therefore, can never make predictions about the future, that will be completely accurate in every detail." "This marked a fundamental change in the world view of physics. It revealed that not only matter and energy but knowledge itself is quantized. "A few physicists became so frustrated that they quit science altogether." "It was turmoil and confusion and not ... calm assurance that marked the growth of the mind, and when the dust began to clear, quantum physics emerged as not only a vital and rapidly developing field of science, but as one of the greatest i...

... Is this a coincidence? After his studies at St. Albans School, he attended University College, Oxford. He wanted to study Mathematics, but because it was unavailable at Oxford, he concentrated on Physics and earned a degree in Natural Science three years later. Stephen went on to Cambridge to do research in Cosmology. After attaining his Ph.D., he became a Professorial Fellow at Gonville and ... Caius College. He left the Institute of Astronomy to become a professor at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at Cambridge. He has held the post of Lacasian Professor o...

Timeline by Michael Crichton is a book about a group of archeological students who get the chance to not only study the past but experience it first hand. Edward Johnston, a professor of history that is leading a group of graduate students on an archeological dig on a medieval site in France. ITC, the company that sponsors the archeological site, summons him to the states to ... the quantum theory. Physicist Max Planck concluded from his experiments energy wasn't a continuous wave, but composed of individual units. He called this energy, quanta. This was the beginning of quantum physics.
