Description
Einstein’s Legacy: Modern Physics All Around You Einstein’s Legacy: Modern Physics All Around You is the name of his course Basic Physics Concepts. The name Albert Einstein evokes some of the most breathtaking ideas in the history of science, particularly his theories of special and general relativity and his key contributions. Him in quantum mechanics. It seems that no concept could be further from everyday life. Where are they? The obscure theories developed by Einstein and other 20th-century pioneers of physics seem to show up in everyday activities like these.
- Photonic toast. The energy released by hot objects, notably toasters, was not understood theoretically until 1900, when Max Planck proposed the existence of energy quanta, later called photons. These ubiquitous particles of light have become the basis of quantum theory.
- Space-time navigation. Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites map locations on Earth with astonishing precision thanks to Einstein’s theories of relativity, which account for the time dilation and curvature of space-time experienced by satellites, which would otherwise be hopelessly inaccurate.
- Quantum sentinel. Smoke detectors can detect soot particles in fast-burning fires through a phenomenon called quantum tunneling, in which subatomic particles magically appear on the other side of a seemingly impenetrable barrier. The smoke disrupts the flow of these particles, triggering the alarm.
Given these and many other applications, our familiar environment provides an ideal vehicle for understanding contemporary physics, particularly quantum mechanics. In 12 fascinating half-hour lectures designed for non-scientists, Einstein’s Legacy: Modern Physics Around You presents the fundamental ideas that have changed our understanding of physical reality, while simultaneously improving our lives .
