He is a British physicist, mathematician, astronomer and natural philosopher. He is most famous for describing gravity and Newton's laws of motion in Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, which laid the scientific view of the physical world in the next three horizons and was the basis of modern engineering.
2. Einstein
Einstein is great, on the one hand, because he knows some mathematics and has the ability to appreciate the wonderful things in mathematics intuitively; On the other hand, he also has his own understanding of the phenomena in physics. What makes him different is that he can see both closely and far. It is recognized as the greatest physicist since Galileo and Newton. 199965438+On February 26th, Einstein was selected as "the great man of the century" by American Time magazine.
3. Joule
Because of Joule's contribution to heat, thermodynamics and electricity, the Royal Society awarded him the highest honor-Copley Medal. In order to commemorate him, later generations named the unit of energy or work "Joule" or "coke" for short; The first letter "J" of Joule's surname is used to mark the units of heat and work. When Joule studied the nature of heat, he found the conversion relationship between heat and work, and from this he obtained the law of conservation of energy, and finally developed the first law of thermodynamics.
