... In Galileo’s book “Two New Sciences” published in 1638, he pointed out that the lash from an artillery gun was seen before the sound of the blast was heard. He concluded that the lash of light appeared instantaneously. However, he stated that we would not know whether it was instantaneous unless the ...

The damping also broadens the edge so that there is only a minimum in R just above vLO rather than a zero. The magnitude of obtained in ...

Because of the gravity the velocity of water increased and since the flow rate has to be constant, the radius of the jet decreased. On the surface of the jet there are ...

When laser intensities greatly exceed the critical power, small fluctuations in the intensity of the beam cause multiple filaments to form, each carrying a power close to the critical power [3].

Thomas Young (scientist)
.jpg?width=300)
Thomas Young (13 June 1773 – 10 May 1829) was an English polymath and physician. Young made notable scientific contributions to the fields of vision, light, solid mechanics, energy, physiology, language, musical harmony, and Egyptology. He ""made a number of original and insightful innovations""in the decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphs (specifically the Rosetta Stone) before Jean-François Champollion eventually expanded on his work. He was mentioned by, among others, William Herschel, Hermann von Helmholtz, James Clerk Maxwell, and Albert Einstein. Young has been described as ""The Last Man Who Knew Everything"".
