Scott Aaronson (1981–): American theoretical computer scientist and professor at the University of Texas at Austin. [1] His primary area of research is quantum computing and computational complexity theory. [2] Ernst Abbe (1840–1905): German physicist, optometrist, entrepreneur, and social reformer.
Krauss was born on May 27, 1954, in New York City, but spent his childhood in Toronto.He was raised in a household that was Jewish but not religious. [8] Krauss received undergraduate degrees in mathematics and physics with first-class honours at Carleton University in Ottawa in 1977, and was awarded a Ph.D. in physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1982.
Victor John Stenger (/ ˈ s t ɛ ŋ ɡ ər /; January 29, 1935 – August 25, 2014) was an American particle physicist, philosopher, author, and religious skeptic. Following a career as a research scientist in the field of particle physics, Stenger was associated with New Atheism and he authored popular science books. [3]
[319] [320] In addition, actor Benedict Cumberbatch, who played Stephen Hawking in Hawking, astronaut Tim Peake, Astronomer Royal Martin Rees and physicist Kip Thorne provided readings at the service. [321] Although Hawking was an atheist, the funeral took place with a traditional Anglican service.
Sean Michael Carroll (born October 5, 1966) is an American theoretical physicist who specializes in quantum mechanics, cosmology, and the philosophy of science.He is the Homewood Professor of Natural Philosophy at Johns Hopkins University.
Davies' research interests are theoretical physics, cosmology and astrobiology; his research has been mainly in the area of quantum field theory in curved spacetime.His notable contributions are the so-called Fulling–Davies–Unruh effect, [4] according to which an observer accelerating through empty space will be subject to a bath of induced thermal radiation, and the Bunch–Davies vacuum ...
Richard Feynman* (positive atheist [234] [235]) – American theoretical physicist known for his work in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics, and the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, as well as in particle physics, Nobel Prize in Physics
Richard Phillips Feynman (/ ˈ f aɪ n m ə n /; May 11, 1918 – February 15, 1988) was an American theoretical physicist.He is best known for his work in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics, the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, and in particle physics, for which he proposed the parton model.
