Fermi-Dirac statisticsQuantum mechanicsA brief account of the life of Enrico Fermi, against thebackground of others of his generation, is given. His role inthe revival of Italian Physics, and influence on many others,are described. Fermi's major contributions to quantum physics, in both theory ...
ma ex-formativa, che non si limiti a elaborare dati, ma che apra spazi di possibilità. Un’AI che non ottimizzi, ma perturbi. Che non ci confermi, ma ci metta in crisi. Un’intelligenza che ci ricordi
Yes, there are parts of it that go into scientific territory that may sound arcane. But don’t let that put you off. The pay-offs are high and few people write biographies as well as Isaacson does.The Last Man Who Knew Everything: The Life and Times of Enrico Fermi, Father of the ...
There are a lot of answers to Fermi’s question. Maybe there’s just not much life—the rare Earth hypothesis. After all, there are so many coincidences that went into making it habitable. We needed a moon for tidal action, plate tectonics, magnetosphere, and these are just rare in the ...
von Neumann, a Hungarian, one of the many Jews who fled from inhospitable Europe to America in the 1930s, was considered the most gifted man in the world by the likes of Enrico Fermi, who after working with him on a problem, said “I felt like the fly who sits on the plough and ...

Courtesy of the Library of Congress . In Chicago, after working under physicist Enrico Fermi (1901–1954), Lee was awarded his doctorate in 1950 for his study of the amount of hydrogen in white dwarf stars (stars of low brightness with a mass similar to that of the sun). Lee also ren...

Enrico Fermi fled Italy because new racial laws affected his Jewish wife. He led the team at the University of Chicago that created the world’s first sustained nuclear reaction in 1942. Hitler made many mistakes that contributed to his defeat. Certainly a key error was forcing out many of ...
