How Has Physics Made Lightning Progress

Physics made lightning progress in the twentieth century. From 1912, Alfred Wegener suggests that all continents were originally gathered in one: the Pangea cracked into derived blocks (the tectonics theory plates). The discovery of the terrestrial radio business eventually validates the theory, disputed at the time.

On 12/14/1900, Max Planck introduces his quantum theory to the Berlin Physical Society. The physicist Henri Becquerel, on 6/16/1901, presented, at the Paris Academy of Sciences, a paper on radium.

Professor Rontgen, the inventor of the rays X, received the first physics Nobel Prize the same year. On December 12 of that year, the physicist Guglielmo Marconi successfully connects Cornwall, in France, and New England, in North

Unquestionably, aviation and space travel have specifically and decisively contributed to the twentieth century’s progress.

The aerial activity - particularly aviation (using heavier equipment than air) – has changed the transportation and communication between regions of the world. In the second half of the nineteenth century, they discovered airships (lighter than air flying machines) which had even enabled the communication between French forces during the encirclement of Paris by German armies in 1870-1871.

While the Zeppelin couple’s airship balloon flies over the Lake de Constance since 07/09/1900, on 12/17/1903, the Wright brothers flew over North Carolina on a petrol airplane, the Flyer biplane which covers 3 km to 30 km/hr. They carried out the first controlled flight in the history of aviation.

With pioneers such as the Wright brothers, it should be noted that Santos Dumont, on 05/13/1906, took off, for the first time, an airplane and on 10/23/1906, rise to 3m above the ground. Louis Blériot and Henri Farman made prowess too; in 1907, they took off an aerial course of 184m for the first one and nearly 285m for the

On 12/24/1908, is held the first air show in Paris, the aeronautical progress intensifies since then. On 05/31/1909, the Zeppelin 2 covers 1200 km before it crashed on the Winterburg.

On 05/06/1909, Hubert Latham took over an hour flight by monoplane. On 07/25/1909, Louis Blériot crosses the inning. The achievements follow one another and the French Roland Garros stands out as the champion of the space. He will reach 4900 m of altitude on 09/12/1912, and became the first to cross the Mediterranean with a Morane-Saulnier on 9/23/1913. Jean Mermoz made prowess, too.

The 1914-1918 war intensifies the development of aviation for military use. On 01/30/1916, Germany uses Zeppelins for an aerial bombing on the northern suburbs of Paris. On 2/1/1918, the Germans use their new bombers: the Gotha GV on the city of Paris and later, on 05/19/1918, on the city of London. On 05/10/1925, Charles Lindbergh successfully crossed, nonstop, the Atlantic with the "Spirit of St.
