On this day in 1687, Sir Isaac Newton published Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), one of the most significant works in the history of science.
Richard Feynman sometimes used to practice for five hours in an empty classroom before delivering his lecture. It's true that when passion and hard work combine, it's a masterpiece.
"The task is not to see what has never been seen before, but to think what has never been thought before about what you see every day."
-- Erwin Schrödinger (1887 - 1961)
For the movie Interstellar, a theoretical physicist helped create an accurate computer simulation of a wormhole and a supermassive rotating black hole. The resulting visual effect provided new insights into the phenomena and led to the publication of three scientific papers.

The first simulated image of a black hole was calculated with an IBM 7040 computer using punch cards and hand plotted by French astrophysicist Jean-Pierre Lumient in 1978.
Happy 178th birthday to physicist Ludwig Boltzmann, who is considered to be the pioneer of statistical mechanics.
He discovered why the second law of thermodynamics is ‘the law of disorder’ or entropy and had significant contributions to physics and philosophy.
Embracing contradictory ideas may actually be the secret to creativity and leadership. The purpose of a paradox is to arrest attention and provoke fresh thought.

7) Lisa Randall
Prof. Lisa Randall studies theoretical particle physics and cosmology at Harvard University. Her research connects theoretical insights to puzzles in our current understanding of the properties and interactions of matter.
3) Richard Feynman
Considered to be one of the greatest explainers of all time, Feynman shared the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics along with Sin-Itiro Tomonaga and Julian Schwinger for their works in Quantum electrodynamics.
19) C.V. Raman
He was the first Asian to receive a Nobel prize in science, following the discovery of a light scattering effect called "Rama effect" that has since become a key characterization tool in materials science.
Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle (a thread):
In Feb 23, 1927, physicist Werner Heisenberg outlined his new principle in a 14-page letter to Wolfgang Pauli. In March, he submitted his paper for publication. Niels Bohr pointed out some errors, but agreed that the principle..

The more a person studies beyond classical physics the less sense it all makes. The more you study it, the more you ask yourself, "what the fuck is going on?!"
Memorial stone for Prof. Stephen Hawking at Westminster Abbey, designed with a rotating and accreting black hole.
It also depicts the eqn for the Hawking temperature T of a black hole with mass M, demonstrating that it will eventually evaporate through thermal radiation.
2) Paul Dirac
One of the pioneers of modern quantum theory and 1933 Nobel Prize Winner (with Erwin Schrödinger), Paul Dirac is considered to be one of the greatest physicists of the 20th century. His equation predicted the existence of dark matter.
9) Albert Einstein
Cited as one of the most influential scientists of the 20th century, A. Einstein (1879 - 1955) developed the theories of general and special relativity, and the photoelectric phenomena (that won him the 1921 Nobel Prize).
In 2002 Grigori Perelman solved the the Poincaré Conjecture. Mathematicians had been struggling with this problem for over a century. It took mathematicians several years to verify his proof. He was offered the prestigious Fields medal and $1,000,000. He declined both.

10) John Wheeler
Wheeler worked with Niels Bohr in explaining the basic principles behind nuclear fission. He is best known for coining the terms "black hole", "quantum foam", "neutron moderator", "wormhole" and "it from bit", and for hypothesizing the "one-electron universe".
1) Seldon Glashow
Sheldon Glashow received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1979 along with Abdus Salam and Steven Weinberg for their complementary efforts in formulating the electroweak theory, which explains the unity of electromagnetism and the weak force.
