6 Sir Isaac Newton (1643-1727) 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.

8 Ludwig Boltzmann (1844-1906) Age 62 Boltzmann found the temperature is a measure of the average energy of the particles. The ratio of the two is the Boltzmann’s constant, k B

10 Robert Brown (1773-1858) Age 85 Robert Brown, a Scottish Botanist, with his pioneering use of a new device called a microscope, is best known for his discovery that pollen grains have a random motion in water. This motion is now called Brownian Motion. Brown’s Microscope The Random Motion of Particles

12 Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) Age 87 Colorado Springs Laboratory December 1899 In 1882, Tesla began working for the Continental Edison Company in France. In 1885, Tesla proposed that 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

14 Robert Van de Graaff (1901-1967) 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 that produces high voltages by moving electrical charges from a high voltage source to a metal sphere by the means of moving insulating belts.

20 Albert Einstein (1879-1955) Age 76 "Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere." – Albert Einstein "A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new." – Albert Einstein "Everybody is a genius." – Albert Einstein 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for work on the Photoelectric Effect He is more known for his work on Special relativity Equivalence of matter and energy E = mc 2
