Hawking’s Black Hole Paradox
Despite having ALS for over 5 decades, Hawking persevered to become one of history’s greatest physicists. He transcended his physical limitations through sheer force of intellect.
The Twin Paradox – Einstein’s Time Dilation
Einstein’s genius was defined by imagination and intellectual freedom. He visualized abstract concepts like riding beams of light. Einstein often challenged orthodox theories and traditional assumptions in physics.
Challenging Reality Through Particle-Wave Duality
Niels Bohr, father of quantum mechanics, developed the principle of complementarity showing that light has both particle and wave properties. His profound insights bridged physics and philosophy.
Schrödinger’s Cat
Erwin Schrödinger’s famous 1935 thought experiment involving a cat in a box illustrated the paradoxical implications of quantum superpositions.
