Gaspar Schott's sketch of Otto von Guericke's Magdeburg hemispheres experiment Small 4 in. hemispheres, 1870s. The Magdeburg hemispheres are a pair of large copper hemispheres with mating rims that were used in a famous 1654 experiment to demonstrate the power of atmospheric pressure.
Eventually, several hundred physicists, high school teachers, apparatus designers, writers, and editors would become involved with the project. [ 4 ] There was a concern that traditional high school physics had devolved to a hodge-podge of Newtonian mechanics and other topics that was poorly integrated, with increasing emphasis on the ...
Watching out for pseudoscience in physics articles and categories (see the list of these topics). Keeping the Physics Portal in good shape. Keeping the WikiProject Physics community active, growing, and well-supported. Discussing the content of physics articles on Wikipedia and what direction WikiProject Physics should take (see talk page).
Ongoing efforts to expand the understanding of physics to a wider audience have been undertaken by individuals and institutions since the early 19th century. Historic works, such as the Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, and Two New Sciences by Galileo Galilei, sought to present revolutionary knowledge in astronomy, frames of reference, and kinematics in a manner that a general ...
[11] [12] In 1936, Einstein was awarded the Franklin Institute's Franklin Medal for his extensive work on relativity and the photo-electric effect. [10] The International Union of Pure and Applied Physics named 2005 the "World Year of Physics" in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the publication of the annus mirabilis papers. [13]
[3] [5] He has dedicated himself in training young minds in the field of Physics. He has immensely contributed to popularising Physics education among Indian students and teachers by conducting lectures and experimental demonstrations. He has been awarded the Maulana Abul Kalam Azad Shiksha Puruskar by the Bihar state government. [3] [6]
