This is a really nice explanation of Attosecond physics and its applications ranging from electronics to medicine.
"Just as all other children anywhere else they deserve a chance to realise their dreams. We badly need all of them to carry on once our own time comes to an end." Earlier today physics laureate Ferenc Krausz ended his Nobel Prize lecture by speaking about the future generation of scientists, especially those in Ukraine. Watch his full lecture here: https://lnkd.in/du_rEYWP

Historical context: Albert Einstein had portraits of Isaac Newton (Universal law of Gravity, inventor of Calculus to explain physics), Michael Faraday (experimentalist that revealed connections between electricity & magnetism without math), and James Clerk Maxwell (who used vector calculus to truly explain electromagnetic induction - the basis of electric motors/generators and RF communication which started the industrial revolution). James Clerk Maxwell submitted an anonymous poem to Nature Magazine about "The British Ass" where Ass referred to both the British Association for the Advancement of Science and a donkey. So the guy who changed society with some control of electrical/magnetic energy and set up the initial math of Einstein to explain spacetime and energy mass equivalence wrote this poem! I think it goes with a song!?

This advice given by three Nobel Laureates is relevant to everyone! It’s so worth having a watch. It’s a lovely reminder of why we do the things we do, finding passion for our work and building resilience. “Have dreams and persue them”. #TheNobelPrize #WorldYouthSkillsDay #WorldYouthSkillsDay2024 #Advice
Work hard, learn by doing and do something you love. On World Youth Skills Day, our 2017 physics laureates - Kip Thorne, Barry Barish and Rainer Wiess - share their advice for young researchers.

4. So you see, if I were to replace that say: a ping-pong ball with a heavier object, say: a golf ball, and replace the golf ball with a soccer ball, replace the soccer ball with a metal round ball. The distortions (gravity) in space-time would be different for each object with the metal ball >>>> ping pong ball. 5. If we exchange this analogy for what is observed in the universe if we have an object (say a star, 16 solar masses heavier than our sun, we would have the distortion in space-time replicated) as if it were a bucket. 6. Karl Schwarzschild was the first to explore how far a distortion in space-time could go mathematically. Roger Penrose won the 2020 Nobel Prize in physics mostly for a paper written in 1965 that showed how matter could collapse to form a black hole with a singularity at the center.

Today is an important day in history, especially for those in the field of Physics.Today Mother Nature gave birth to an incredible person who goes by the name Richard Feynman. ~Richard Phillips Feynman was an American theoretical physicist, known for his work in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics. ~For his contributions to the development of quantum electrodynamics, Feynman received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965 ~Apart from being a great physicist he also was one of the best teachers of the 20th century. ~His lectures in Physics at Caltech are compiled in 3 Volumes of textbooks known as Feynman Lectures in Physics, which gives very good illustrations for every physics concept and simplifies them so easily and loveable to read. ~Despite being so great he insisted himself to be an ordinary human being.

-- Prof. Feynman Richard Phillips Feynman (May 11, 1918 – February 15, 1988) was an American theoretical physicist renowned 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. He was also known for his work in particle physics, where he proposed the parton model. Feynman was a prominent figure in his field during the post-World War II era and was widely regarded as one of the most brilliant and influential physicists of his time. He received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965 jointly with Julian Schwinger and Shin'ichirō Tomonaga for their contributions to the development of quantum electrodynamics. He was also known for his unique ability to communicate complex scientific concepts in an accessible and engaging manner, which made him a popular figure not just in the scientific community but also with the general public. His lectures and books, especially "The Feynman Lectures on Physics," have inspired countless students and enthusiasts around the world. #inspirationalquote #motivationalquote #wisdomquotes #lifelesson
