Five fav’s and Blocked By: Michael Vu

Isaac Newton’s Fav’s

René Descartes A great French philosopher and mathematician who had theories on how the universe was made. Thanks to his ideas Newton had a new theory based off his ideas.

Edmund Halley Halley was a close friend of Newton, and assisted in the publication of the Principia.

Amedeo Avogadro A chemist who studied about gases, and volume. A great science which a law was named after.

Charles Darwin Struck upon the theory of evolution. Had real evidence and never gave up in finding the truth.

Galileo Discovered planetary movement which is something related to Isaac Newton’s studies.

Isaac Newton’s Blocks

Robert Hooke Became a rival of Newton in the 1670s. They fought over the theories of light. Hooke later thought Newton stole his ideas.

Gottfried von Leibniz A brilliant German mathematician, and a contemporary of Newton. The two men developed a bitter feud in the early 1700s over who had first invented calculus

Hannah Newton Newton’s mother. When Newton was three she moved away in was cared by his uncle. This abandonment must have been traumatic.

Albert Einstein They both have different views on a fixed space or a flexible- space time.

Stephen Hawking A cosmopolitan who leans towards Einstein’s views of relativity. He even found wormholes.

Werner Heisenberg’s Fav’s

Niels Bohr Heisenberg's most influential mentor. He headed the Copenhagen Institute and helped to refine Heisenberg’s work.

Max Born Another one of Heisenberg’s mentors. He taught physics at Göttingen. Later on, he would recognize the matrix patterns of Heisenberg's work and help to establish quantum mechanics.

Wolfgang Pauli A physicist who was about the same age who was in the same career as Heisenberg, and worked with him.

Max Planck One of Heisenberg's precursors in quantum theory, would later collaborate with Heisenberg in an attempt to save German physics.

Ernest Sommerfeld He was Heisenberg’s first mentor. Also appointed Heisenberg as his successor, but it didn’t succeed.

Werner Heisenberg’s Fav’s

Albert Einstein He maybe the most famous scientist, but he had different view from Heisenberg. Einstein never accepted uncertainty and believed that determinism was attainable

Willy Wien One of Heisenberg’s professors who nearly failed him on his oral exam because he failed to explain competence in experimental physics.

Adolf Hitler Since Heisenberg is German Hitler could of drafted him into the war and force him to fight with no science. This would probably alter Heisenberg’s life.
