James Watson sold his Nobel Prize for $4.1 million in 2014 and donated the proceeds to education.

Physicist Leon Lederman sold his Nobel Prize medal for $765,000 in 2015 to cover medical bills.

Machado gave it away to a fascist after he killed Venezuelan citizens and kidnapped their president.

TIL Albert Einstein is a real person.

I thought he was a theoretical physicist.

“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”
Uruguay’s Renewable Charge: A Small Nation, A Big Lesson For The World
Uruguay built a power grid that runs 99% on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. Here’s how its bold energy overhaul became a global model.

For those who don't know, @chrischirp.bsky.social is a Prof of Operational Research at UCL, who did hugely important work on Covid and is almost insanely clever (a mathematician, statistician & space physicist who has also studied classical civilization & medieval history). Well worth a follow. 2/2

I've never seen anything definitive, but given Dan Aykroyd's big interest in UFO and conspiracy culture, I wonder if Egon Spengler's look was based on physicist Russell Targ?

I was today years old when I found out Albert Einstein actually existed. I thought he was a theoretical physicist.

Girlfriend is a physicist, but does know about some kind of evidently dangerous systems, so my closest hope for experiencing this is vicariously through her in some kind of Gordon Freeman scenario.

Review on The Reinvention of Science by Kyle Cudworth, former director Yerkes Observatory. “One does not need to be a physicist to read and benefit from the book… readers should take time to enjoy the many stories of interesting characters and the fun historical tidbits”🧪⚛️🔭 doi.org/10.56315/PSC...

you can actually convert ordinary bits of information directly to thermodynamic information so this is a very normal question. the problem is that you have to be both a cs freak and a physicist to do it well and everyone who is that kind of freak is a quantum computing specialist

Nfc wild card who do you think america is more likely to identify with:

-fuckboy elitist nuclear physicist from LA with a gorgeous wife

Or

-small town porn addict who just likes to sling the pigskin around sometimes

you would’ve been a great physicist or economist imo

what do you see when you look out that window, says the car salesman. this man is too round. not, too large. he is clearly medium. no. too round. like, what a physicist pictures, when they think of a person. don't say cars. you should ask about the corpse's lungs. he wants you to say, cars. say corn

Physicist/chemist Katharine Burr Blodgett invented non-reflective glass in 1938.

It revolutionized optics & led to the coatings used today in everything from eyeglasses to phone screens. First woman to earn a PhD in #physics from Cambridge, 1926. She was born #OTD in 1898. #WomenInSTEM #inventor
