AI Thread Summary
Max Planck revolutionized scientific thought by proposing that energy is quantized, which emerged from his work on black body radiation. Albert Einstein further transformed our understanding of physics with his theories of special and general relativity, demonstrating the interconnection of space and time and redefining gravity as a geometric property of four-dimensional space-time. The Michelson-Morley experiment challenged the existence of the luminiferous ether, providing crucial evidence that supported Einstein's theories. The discussion emphasizes the significant contributions of these scientists across various fields, including electricity, magnetism, and gravitational force. Understanding their work is essential for grasping fundamental concepts in modern physics.

I completely made this question up because it's related to class and it will help me understand the lesson better and more.

Explain the work of scientists and how they revolutionized scientific thought. Include Max Plank, Einstein and Michelson-Morley. The work doesn't have to be only about light. It could also be related to electricity and magnetism, gravitational force, dynamic.

Wiki seems to have pretty good info on that kind of stuff. But some key ideas off the top of my head...

Max Plank I think was the first person the guess that energy was quantized while he was working on the emission spectra of black body radiation and different temperatures.

Einstein showed us with special relativity that space and time are one in the same, and your motion in space effects your motion in time. With general relativity he showed us that gravity can be understood as a geometrical property of his new 4d space-time.

Michelson-Morely are two guys that did an experiment called the 'michelson-morely' experiment in which they proved that there was no lumineferous ether, which they did before Einstein I think...

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
