   > learning in physics at the time okay because what I did effectively is very similar I stole this from Einstein I always tell people the four most important scientists to me were Einstein Da Vinci Michelangelo and Roberto Becker those were the four people that have defined my life and find him into I I got to put number five and Fineman was big when he won the Nobel Prize in 65 why because most of what I believe is tied to fineman's work in QED which is quantum electrodynamics

   He wrote down the thermodynamic givens of the ultraviolet catastrophe, and he looked at the thermodynamic givens. He goes, "How do these things all fit together?" And what happens in his miracle year? One of his four papers is called the photoelectric effect. Now, people like to believe that everything should be simple, that you could explain it to a third grader. That's like Occam's razor. And I always tell people when they say to me, "There's no way this could be right, Jack." I say, "Well, tell me, what is Occam's razor parsimonious about the photoelectric effect? That it only works with UV…

   [Music] in 1921 Albert Einstein has awarded the Nobel Prize for physics but it isn't for his work on relativity apparently that's too weird for the awards committee to accept instead Einstein is honored for other contributions including a paper on the nature of light this paper ultimately leads to a second revolution in physics only this time it's too weird for Einstein himself to accept it's called quantum mechanics quantum mechanics comes out of the struggle to understand the structure of atoms what physicists in the early 20th century learn is that in the world of the very small the seeming…

   The physicist in the 19th century who was his biggest critic was Ernst Mach. Mach was correct to question Newton, but his own ideas about the solution were even worse than Newton’s ideas. But the fact that he questioned their dogma, opened the door to people like Einstein, who had brilliant ideas. Mach’s clever arguments, experiments, and fancy philosophy were no match for the physics of Einstein. The theories of General Relativity and Special relativity changed our Newtonian worldview quickly, but it was the photoelectric effect of light on matter that laid out the epistemologic foundation fo…

   It was so much closer in a way to the things that physicists were comfortable with, that Schrodinger kind of won the day, at least, in that historical period. - Yes, ironic... There are several ironies about that period of about a year when everything happened. One of them is that the Heisenberg picture was originally called matrix mechanics, because Heisenberg expressed it as matrices, but he had never heard of matrices. Matrices were not covered in the mathematics for physics class in his day. - Right. - So other physicists had to tell him, "What you've just invented is matrices." And now I …

   Brian: Now, one thing in   that book, which is interesting to me is  that when physicists typically learn the   mathematical methods of general relativity,  differential geometry to be concrete,   most physicists learn it in a so called  coordinate form, which is the more nuts and   bolts ingredients necessary to really carry out  certain kinds of calculations. You're at great   pains in that book to do both the coordinate  version, and the coordinate-free version,   which is perhaps maybe the way more mathema…

   Moreover, since this data was absent, it was this said data that enabled the predictions to be unexpectedly correct. Ironically, it then did turn out to be the parsimonious explanation, after all for Plank, Bohr, Heisenberg and Newton. This is why Millikan spent 12 years of his life trying to discredit Einstein’s brilliant deductions. He was trained in reductive thinking and not creative observational thinking. Einstein’s genius was not in his intellect alone; it was in his ability to think wholistically with relativity. Genius, contrary to the popular misconception, is not synonymous with sup…

   [Music] welcome to real physics the channel about the fundamental laws of nature i'd like to start this series on great physicists with niels bohr the dominant figure of atomic physics at the beginning of the last century and of course this is not a biography with any aspiration to give a complete picture of his life just a personal assessment of his accomplishments the things that impressed me most bohr was a genius of intuition he had often the visionary idea everything was built upon and in retrospect such ideas may also seem quite easy because the concept behind is very simple i give an ex…

   Thanks Pat, thanks to the Royal Institution for having me back This is one of my favourite places to come visit and I thought that I would in the tradition of Michael Faraday and Humphrey Davy, and all the greats. Who've stood more or less in this place Begin the lecture by doing an experiment Now I'm a theoretical physicist. I'm not an experimenter, so don't get your hopes up too high But I would like to do an experiment that illuminates the fundamental nature of motion Ok so you see here. We have an object It's a book you can buy it and the finest book stores everywhere And we're going to ob…

    This was problematic for me 10 years ago. I thought Sir Albert was as good as science data gets. It turns out that belief was wrong. Perspective is how we see things, and most of us are not even remotely aware of how these perceptions form our worldview. This incongruence around the concept of time is what forced me to ponder if Einstein was why physics went off the rails. Henri Bergson is forgotten these days, but his ability to effect an open mind is not.
