Beyond the stone stars like Neil DeGrasse Tyson and multi - billion dollar , cutting - edge installation like CERN , a fate of physic ( specially the theoretical sort ) is still done the same agency it was at the twist of the last century — by helping hand , on blackboards . Our friends at Oobject have meet a gallery ofhistory ’s brightest idea leveraging quondam - school techto do what they do best .
When you ’ve wrapped your mind around that , train out theseexclusive shots from inside CERN , theseghostly particle sensor , andthis gallery of scientific science lab .
Heisenberg Teaches Quantum Theory
Richard Feynman sizes up the blackboard
Peter Higgs and the Higgs Mechanism
Max Planck (r) and Niels Bohr in Front of Maxwell’s Equations
John Bardeen, father of both the transistor and superconductivity
The first person to win two Nobel prizes in the same domain , Bardeen make up what made modern data processor possible and superconducting magnets . Without him there would be neither the web nor the LHC .
Wolfgang Pauli during a lecture in Copenhagen, April 1929
Pauli , one of the founders of quantum theory , prefer to jibe with fellow worker rather than formally bring out . so much so that many of his ideas went uncredited .
Paul Dirac at a workshop in the early 1930s
Dirac is far-famed as the creator of the complete theoretic formulation of quantum mechanics .
John Wheeler and his elaborate blackboard presentations
Sir Robert Eric Mortimer Wheeler , who revive pastime in General Relativity , and the idea that information menses may be at the heart of physics also coined the condition Black Hole . He was know for pre - preparing very detailed colored diagram on a serial of blackboards which he would then work through during a presentation .
Einstein writes the spacetime curvature tensor from General Relativity
Abdus Salam, Electroweak + Higgs
Weinberg Glashow and Salam shared the Nobel swag for the Electroweak fusion .
Steven Weinberg, Electroweak + Higgs
Sheldon Glashow, electroweak theory
Glashow formed the basis of the Standard Model by unifying electromagnetics and the weak nuclear force .
Erwin Schrodinger
Schrodinger created the equivalent of Newtons law of motion but for quantum system . One of his lesser known achievements , however , was a lecture titled What is Life , which portend the essential chemical mechanism of DNA – that it should be an nonperiodic watch glass so that it could contain information .
