It is not true that aerodynamic theory predicts that bumblebees should not be able to fly; the physics of insect flight is quite well understood. The misconception appears to come from a calculation based on a fixed-wing aircraft mentioned in a 1934 book, and was further popularized in the 2007 film Bee Movie. [95] [96] [97]

This timeline lists significant discoveries in physics and the laws of nature, including experimental discoveries, theoretical proposals that were confirmed experimentally, and theories that have significantly influenced current thinking in modern physics. Such discoveries are often a multi-step, multi-person process.
Labeled by his friends a Deist, Allen accepted the notion of a divine being, though throughout Reason he argues that even a divine being must be circumscribed by logic. In Principles of Philosophy , Descartes tried refuting the existence of atoms with a variation of this argument, claiming God could not create things so indivisible that he ...
The books opens with 20th century physics, starting with the conservation laws implied by Noether's theorem. It then proceeds to present Newtonian mechanics and the laws of motion as a consequence of underlying physical symmetry , reversing the chronological order in which the study of physics developed as a scientific discipline.
James Thomson is known for his work on the improvement of water wheels, water pumps and turbines. Also his innovations in the analysis of regelation, i.e., the effect of pressure on the freezing point of water, and his studies in glaciology including glacier motion, where he extended the work of James David Forbes.
According to Asher Peres [4] and David Kaiser, [5] the publication of the 1982 proof of the no-cloning theorem by Wootters and Zurek [2] and by Dieks [3] was prompted by a proposal of Nick Herbert [6] for a superluminal communication device using quantum entanglement, and Giancarlo Ghirardi [7] had proven the theorem 18 months prior to the published proof by Wootters and Zurek in his referee ...
