A 2008 quantum physics experiment performed in Geneva, Switzerland has determined that in any hypothetical nonlocal hidden-variables theory the speed of the quantum non-local connection would have to be at least 10, 000 times the speed of light.

) In the field of particle physics, " shmoo " refers to a high energy survey instrument, as utilized at the Los Alamos National Laboratory to capture subatomic cosmic ray particles emitted from the Cygnus X-3 constellation.

Born in Jerusalem in 1937 to secular parents, Steinsaltz studied mathematics, physics, and chemistry at the Hebrew University, in addition to rabbinical studies.

Much of the current work in cosmology includes understanding how galaxies form in the context of the Big Bang, understanding the physics of the Universe at earlier and earlier times, and reconciling observations with the basic theory.

Enrolled at Columbia as a physics student, De Palma became enraptured with the filmmaking process after viewing Citizen Kane and Vertigo.

But in 1939, Robert Oppenheimer and others predicted that neutron stars above approximately three solar masses ( the Tolman – Oppenheimer – Volkoff limit ) would collapse into black holes for the reasons presented by Chandrasekhar, and concluded that no law of physics was likely to intervene and stop at least some stars from collapsing to black holes.

It was used for many years as a probe of physics at the time of the Big Bang, as the theory of Big Bang nucleosynthesis connects the abundances of primordial light elements with the features of the early universe.

In the second half of the twentieth century, physics laboratories became able to produce nuclei of chemical elements with half-lives too short for an appreciable amount of them to exist at any time.

On November 29, 1921, the trustees declared it to be the express policy of the Institute to pursue scientific research of the greatest importance and at the same time " to continue to conduct thorough courses in engineering and pure science, basing the work of these courses on exceptionally strong instruction in the fundamental sciences of mathematics, physics, and chemistry ; broadening and enriching the curriculum by a liberal amount of instruction in such subjects as English, history, and economics ; and vitalizing all the work of the Institute by the infusion in generous measure of the spirit of research.

: Copenhagenists claim that interpretations of quantum mechanics where the wave function is regarded as real have problems with EPR-type effects, since they imply that the laws of physics allow for influences to propagate at speeds greater than the speed of light.

" His most-important fourth, " the principle of causality " is based on the " finite velocity of propagation of effects and signals ; contemporary physics rejects the possibility of instantaneous action at a distance.

He designed mines for the U. S. Navy during World War II, before obtaining his Ph. D. in physics from Princeton University in 1948 and working as a scientific liaison officer in the U. S. Embassy in London.

in electrical engineering from Ohio State University in 1943, and an A. M. in physics from Princeton in 1944.

He taught physics at Princeton while he worked on his masters and his doctorate, obtaining his Ph. D. there in 1948.

Furth worked at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory for several years before going to Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory ( PPPL ) where he would spend the rest of his career working in plasma physics and nuclear fusion.

Edward Witten ( born August 26, 1951 ) is an American theoretical physicist with a focus on mathematical physics who is a professor of mathematical physics at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, New Jersey.

He returned to academia, enrolling in applied mathematics at Princeton University then shifting departments and receiving a Ph. D. in physics in 1976 under David Gross, the 2004 Nobel laureate in Physics.

Witten is married to Chiara Nappi, a professor of physics at Princeton University.

Lightman received his AB degree in physics from Princeton University in 1970, magna cum laude, where he was Phi Beta Kappa.

He spent another year at Clark as an honorary fellow in physics, and in 1912, he accepted a research fellowship at Princeton University's Palmer Physical Laboratory.

Tate Jr. received his bachelor's degree in mathematics from Harvard University, and entered the doctoral program in physics at Princeton University.

Wheeler supervised more PhD as well as senior undergraduate theses than any other professor in the Princeton physics department.

Jin graduated from Princeton University in 1990 and received her Ph. D. in physics from the University of Chicago in 1995.

All four of her children have earned Ph. D. s in the natural sciences or mathematics: David ( 1950 ), Ph. D. geology, a geologist with the U. S. Geological Survey ; Judith Young ( 1952 ), Ph. D. cosmic-ray physics, an astronomer at the University of Massachusetts ; Karl ( 1956 ), Ph. D. mathematics, a mathematician at the University of California at Irvine ; and Allan ( 1960 ), Ph. D. geology, a geologist at Princeton University.

Following graduate school at Princeton University, Barry was an National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellow in physics at Princeton.

During her second stay at Princeton, she met and married, on May 30, 1937, Bancroft W. Sitterly, who became a physics professor.

He spent two years in the theory group at Bell Laboratories, and subsequently was a faculty member at University of California, Berkeley ( physics ), Princeton University ( physics ), California Institute of Technology ( Chemistry and Biology ) and now again at Princeton, where he is the Howard A.

She was the first tenured woman in the Princeton University physics department and the first tenured female theoretical physicist at both MIT and Harvard University.

Along with Horst L. Störmer of Columbia University and Daniel C. Tsui of Princeton University, he was awarded a share of the 1998 Nobel Prize in physics for their explanation of the fractional quantum Hall effect.
