Happy birthday to British #engineer, #mathematician, #physicist & #inventor Hertha Ayrton (1854-1923). I’ve shown her in my #linocut with a diagram of the dividers from her 1st of 26 (!) patents, one of her diagrams about the origin & growth of ripple marks & one of her diagrams of an electric arc lamp (a subject on which she literally wrote the textbook).
Born Phoebe Sarah Marks, she was the 3rd 🧵https://minouette.etsy.com/listing/966154261

“So what does the #physicist bring to #Ferrari? “I think a few things. In #physics, one of the first lessons is that you need to keep in mind that all the points of view are important to understand reality.”
“Vigna is one smart cookie. At European tech company #STMicroelectronics he led the team that developed the 3D motion sensors that allow mobile phones to do so many clever things. Vigna has filed more than 200 #patents. Yet, curiously, he opposes the digital-first approach.”
“In the last, let’s say 15 to 20 years, too many cars became too difficult to be used. The reason why the car became so digital, with so many #TouchButtons instead of #MechanicalButtons … is because they are #cheaper.”

I guess I'm #writing again, because yesterday I brainstormed a bunch of ideas for #book three, (Moon,) and then I woke up at 2:30 AM, realizing (I think) that I had messed up the #generalrelativity between #books one (Atmosphere,) and two, (Ocean.) This, after I spent a whole lot of time trying to make it work during the writing #process. I have a tenuous grasp on the #theory. Wish I had a #physicist friend I could #brainstorm with. #physics #question

Happy birthday to #physicist Lise Meitner (1878-1968) who explained #nuclear #fission. She worked with chemists Hahn & Straßmann in 30s Berlin, investigating whether there were any stable elements beyond uranium. They discovered bombarding nucleus of U-235 with neutrons actually triggered it to fission, or break, into 2 nuclei of roughly half the size & some free neutrons! 🧵1/5

Happy birthday to Marie Skłodowska-Curie (1867 – 1934, Polish-born, naturalized-French #physicist & #chemist at work in her lab. The contents of her lab glassware appropriately glow-in-the-dark!
Marie Curie was the 1st woman to win a Nobel prize, the only woman to ever win TWO Nobel prizes, and the only person ever to win in two different sciences: #physics & #chemistry! She was also the 1st woman prof at the U of Paris, 🧵

Sam Altman claims that science will be finished by AI in a few years. This is reminiscent of 20th century scientists who said similar things, but still, science is far from finished. I think the more we know about science, the more unanswered questions we will be left with.

Happy birthday to #physicist James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879)! He dreamt up his demon to deal with the very odd 2nd Law of Thermodynamics (which is not a law like others, and can not be derived from first priciples). It states that two bodies of different temperature brought together in a closed system will reach thermal equilibrium; or, you cannot use a cold thing to heat a hot thing; 🧵

Did you know that #invisibility cloaks are #real?
From the 2nd c's Cap of Hades to #Marvel 's Invisible Woman, magic that renders one #invisible is a common theme in #mythology & #scifi.
In 2006, #theoretical #physicist John Pendry figured out that light could be bent around an object so that it renders it invisible.
This led to many advancements in metamaterial science, known as 'metamaterial cloaking'.I've enjoyed this talk by Pendry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VO6IrynhjKs [start: 4:43min]

#Nobel #Physicist Roger Penrose (b. 1931): #DarkMatter doesn't exist & #Time has no #beginning
"The #BigBang theory proposes that the #universe originated from #nothingness, marking its beginning. Before this event, there was no time or space. However, what if I told you that time doesn't actually exist and that the Big Bang theory could be incorrect?" (Lots of good #visuals.)

When #physicist Lise Meitner (1878-1968) explained #nuclear #fission she understood nothing was “lost” (today’s #SciArtSeptember prompt) despite the missing mass after the reaction. She worked with chemists Hahn & Straßmann in 30s Berlin, investigating elements beyond uranium. They found bombarding nuclei of U-235 with neutrons actually triggered it to fission, or break, into 2 nuclei of roughly half the size & some free neutrons! 🧵1/n

Hi,
I am a #physicist and #neuroscientist who tries to bring both fields together in #neuroimaging.
I direct the Dept of Neurophysics at the #MPI for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences (https://www.cbs.mpg.de/en). Our main tools are #MRI, #histology and #biophysical #modeling for in-vivo histology (#hMRI) and ultra-high resolution #fMRI.
Excited to see #MastodonScience growing so quickly 😀
