Niels Bohr
1885 - 1962
Niels Bohr was born and educated in Copenhagen, Denmark. He lived, worked, and died there, too. But his mark on science and history was worldwide. His professional work and personal convictions were part of the larger stories of the century.
At the University of Copenhagen, he studied physics and played soccer (though not as well as his brother, who helped the 1908 Danish soccer team win an Olympic silver medal). After receiving his doctorate in 1911, Bohr t ...

A Brief History of c
When the Danish astronomer Olaf Roemer (Philosophical Transactions; June 25, 1677) announced to the Paris Academie des Sciences in September 1676 that the anomalous behavior of the eclipse times of Jupiter's inner moon, Io, could be accounted for by a finite speed of light, he ran counter to the current wisdom espoused by Descartes and Cassini. It took another quarter century for scientific opinion to accept the notion that the speed of light was not infinite. Until the ...

History of Modification of the Ionosphere by Radio Waves
The Luxembourg effect
In the early 1930s a high power radio broadcasting station was built in Luxembourg. Tellegen (1933) reported that the modulation of the Luxembourg station could be heard in the background of a programme transmitted from Beromunster and received at Eindhoven. Soon after, Bailey and Martyn (1934) suggested that the effect was caused by the powerful Luxembourg transmitter modifying the radio propagation character ...

Physics Time-Line
From the Greek philosophers to string theorists, this is the chronology of discoveries in physics and cosmology. According to Legend, Archimedes discovered the principle of buoyancy while taking a bath. He jumped out and ran through the streets shouting "Eureka!" The scientific revolution took off 1800 years later after Gutenberg introduced the printing press in Europe and Coperincus broke the old cosmology and put humans in their place away from the centre of the universe.

The Controversy over Newton's Gravitational Constant
In 1686 Isaac Newton realized that the motion of the planets and the moon as well as that of a falling apple could be explained by his Law of Universal Gravitation, which states that any two objects attract each other with a force equal to the product of their masses divided by the square of their separation times a constant of proportionality. Newton estimated this constant of proportionality, called G, perhaps from the gravitational acceler ...

THE HISTORY OF ATOMISTICS
The knowledge about atom and world's microstructure constitution was being compiled for over two and a half thousand years by scientists and philosophers. The history of their work started in ancient Greece. Then, during Middle Ages, development of this science was stopped and even regressed. But as early as in the 16-th century the research on elementary particles began again. The fastest development of atomistics took place in the 18-th and 19-th centuries when un ...
