Sir Isaac Newton ( ) Age 84 Newton's Second Law of Motion: The relationship between an object's mass m, its acceleration a, and the applied force F is F = ma. A Newton is the measure of Force: 1N = 1 (kg m) / s 2 Newton's First Law of Motion: Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it. (The Law of Inertia) Newton's Third Law of Motion: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

I’m using my apple computer to translate from Martian to English.

Yes it is! Steve Jobs was working on it just before he died, and he sent me the plans by .

Nikola Tesla ( ) Age 87 Colorado Springs Laboratory December 1899 In 1882, Tesla began working for the Continental Edison Company in France. In 1885, Tesla proposed the Edison company should develop his ideas for alternating current(AC) transmission systems and motors, which was rejected. Thus starting the "War of Currents" In 1886, Tesla formed his own company, Tesla Electric Light & Manufacturing. In 1887, Tesla started the Tesla Electric Company. In 1893, The "War of Currents" ended at Niagara Falls 1 Tesla = 10,000 Gauss T = Wb = V·s m 2 m2m2

Robert Van de Graaff ( ) Age 65 In 1929 and with help from Nicholas Burke, Van de Graaff developed his first generator which producing 80,000 volts. By 1931, he constructed a much larger generator that generated 7 million volts. Van de Graaff was the designer of the Van de Graaff generator; A device which produces high voltages by moving electrical charges from a high voltage source to a metal sphere, by the means of moving insulating belts.

Steve Chu (1948-present) Age th United States Secretary of Energy, 2009 In 1987, He left Bell Labs and became a professor of physics at Stanford University Co-recipient of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1997 laser cooling work and received numerous other awards.

Hendrik A. Lorentz ( ) Age 74 Lorentz Transformations

Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Geißler (Geissler) ( ) Age 65 First born of 11 siblings, four of whom died at a young age due to poor living conditions. At 5 years old he worked in the family glass workshop where he learned the fine skills of glassblowing. In 1864 Geissler demonstrated his tubes and vacuum pump for public. In 1857 Geissler made sealed tubes of various shapes at low pressure and then fitted two platinum electrode connections on each end, (the Geissler Tube) thus playing a very important role in the discovery of cathode rays, canal rays and X-rays in the years that followed. But just before William Crookes’ great breakthrough of vacuum tube technology, Geissler died.

John William Strutt, 3rd Baron Rayleigh ( ) Age 76 Won The 1904 Nobel Prize in Physics. “For his investigations of the densities of the most important gases and for his discovery of Argon in connection with these studies". Rayleigh scattering is more evident after sunset. This picture was taken about one hour after sunset at 500m altitude, looking at the horizon where the sun had set. Also known for: Rayleigh waves Rayleigh criterion Duplex Theory Theory of Sound Rayleigh flow Rayleigh-Plesset equation
