As a proof of the concept, he constructed a telescope using reflective mirrors instead of lenses as the objective to bypass that problem. [ 66 ] [ 67 ] Building the design, the first known functional reflecting telescope, today known as a Newtonian telescope , [ 67 ] involved solving the problem of a suitable mirror material and shaping technique.
Only vertices and edges are drawn. In geometry, a uniform 4-polytope (or uniform polychoron) [ 1 ] is a 4-dimensional polytope which is vertex-transitive and whose cells are uniform polyhedra, and faces are regular polygons. There are 47 non- prismatic convex uniform 4-polytopes.
Prizes are often awarded for the solution to a long-standing problem, and some lists of unsolved problems, such as the Millennium Prize Problems, receive considerable attention. This list is a composite of notable unsolved problems mentioned in previously published lists, including but not limited to lists considered authoritative, and the ...
The following is a list of notable unsolved problems grouped into broad areas of physics. [ 1 ] Some of the major unsolved problems in physics are theoretical, meaning that existing theories seem incapable of explaining a certain observed phenomenon or experimental result. The others are experimental, meaning that there is a difficulty in ...
e. Stephen William Hawking, CH, CBE, FRS, FRSA (8 January 1942 – 14 March 2018) was an English theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author who was director of research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology at the University of Cambridge. [6][17][18] Between 1979 and 2009, he was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge, widely ...
This is a list of articles about prime numbers. A prime number (or prime) is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. By Euclid's theorem, there are an infinite number of prime numbers. Subsets of the prime numbers may be generated with various formulas for primes.
Complex problems that seem like they could be solved by a clever application of dynamics and mechanics remain unsolved; examples include the formation of sandpiles, nodes in trickling water, the shape of water droplets, mechanisms of surface tension catastrophes, and self-sorting in shaken heterogeneous collections.
