Nikola Tesla

“Let the future tell the truth and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine.“

Wolfgang Pauli

Image Source: Science Photo Library. Editorial use only Wolfgang Pauli (1900-1958), Austrian-Swiss physicist who worked on quantum mechanics. Pauli described the exclusion principle, now named after him, in 1924. This states that each electron in an atom has a unique set of quantum numbers, or quantum state. He put forward a fourth quantum number ‘s’, to define the spin of an electron. The Pauli exclusion principle explains the main features of the periodic table of elements and of the structure of atoms. This work won him the 1945 Nobel Prize for Physics.

Yang Chen-Ning

Image Source: Science Photo Library. Portrait of the Chinese-American physicist Chen Ning Yang (born 1922). In 1956, Yang and Tsung-Dao Lee showed that parity conservation (mirror-image symmetry) is violated in interactions via the weak nuclear force. This work won them the 1957 Nobel Prize for Physics. Yang and Lee also proposed that electron- and muon-type neutrinos are different, predicted the existence of the weak force carrier, the W boson, and indicated the existence of neutral weak currents. Photographed in 1956.

Daniel Bernoulli

SWITZERLAND – MAY 23: Bernoulli (1700-1782) was the son of Jean Bernoulli (1667-1748), who founded a dynasty of highly talented mathematicians. Daniel Bernoulli became professor of mathematics at St Petersburg, Russia, in 1725. He went on to become professor of anatomy, botany and physics. Bernoulli made important contributions to hydrodynamics, notably with his 1738 publication ‘Hydrodynamica’ which, amongst other things, contains a pioneering kinetic theory of gases. He solved a differential equation which had been proposed by Jacopo Riccati, now known as Bernoulli�s equation. He also contributed significantly to calculus and probability.

George Francis FitzGerald

^BGeorge FitzGerald^b (1851-1901), Irish physicist. FitzGerald was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, where he remained as a professor for the rest of his life. Although he did not publish much original work, his influence on 19th-century physics was due to his informal suggestions and dicussions with others, who would try out his ideas. FitzGerald developed the hypothesis that a body moving in an electromagnetic field contracts slightly in the direction of its motion (Lorentz-FitzGerald contraction), an idea which became an important step towards Einstein’s theory of relativity.
