The year 1900 marked a significant turning point in the field of physics, as it was the beginning of the modern era of physics. This was the year when physicists started to question the long-held beliefs of classical physics and began to develop new theories to explain observed phenomena.
The colloquium presentation is about the physics breakthroughs and developments that occurred in the year 1900. It will cover key events such as Max Planck's formulation of quantum theory, the discovery of radioactivity, and the development of special relativity by Albert Einstein.
The colloquium presentation is open to anyone with an interest in physics, history, or scientific advancements. It is especially relevant for students and professionals in the field of physics, as well as those studying related subjects such as engineering or mathematics.
Yes, the presentation will be accessible to non-scientists. While some basic knowledge of physics may be helpful, the presentation will be delivered in a way that is easy to understand for a general audience. The focus will be on the historical significance and impact of the developments in 1900, rather than complex scientific concepts.
Yes, there will be a Q&A session after the presentation where attendees can ask questions and engage in discussions with the presenter. This is a great opportunity to further explore the topic and gain a deeper understanding of the physics breakthroughs of 1900.
