Across
- 1. He created the world's first nuclear reactor, the Chicago Pile-1. He has been called the "architect of the nuclear age" and the "architect of the atomic bomb"
- 3. He wrote research on classical conditioning and he was the first Russian Nobel laureate
- 4. His most notable achievement was to formulate the classical theory of electromagnetic radiation, bringing together for the first time electricity, magnetism, and light as manifestations of the same phenomenon. His equations for electromagnetism have been called the "second great unification in physics" after the first one realised by Isaac Newton.
- 8. He is most noted for his discovery of the role oxygen plays in combustion.
- 9. He is a modern scientist, often called “the world’s greatest living theoretical physicist,” thanks to his insights into the fundamental mathematical mechanics of string theory.
- 11. He was a German theoretical physicist whose work on quantum theory won him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918
- 13. He developed the general theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics (alongside quantum mechanics)
- 14. He has been called the "father of observational astronomy",the "father of modern physics", the "father of scientific method",and the "father of science"
- 15. He developed the model of one atom, in which he proposed that energy levels of electrons are discrete and that the electrons revolve in stable orbits around the atomic nucleus but can jump from one energy level (or orbit) to another.
Down
- 1. He contributed to the study of electromagnetism and electrochemistry. His main discoveries include the principles underlying electromagnetic induction, diamagnetism and electrolysis.
- 2. a Renaissance mathematician and astronomer who formulated a model of the universe that placed the Sun rather than the Earth at the center of the universe
- 5. He is remembered for his cosmological theories, which conceptually extended the then novel Copernican model. He proposed that the stars were just distant suns surrounded by their own exoplanets
- 6. He formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation, which dominated scientists' view of the physical universe for the next three centuries.
- 7. He works on gravitational singularity theorems in the framework of general relativity, and the theoretical prediction that black holes emit radiation
- 10. He is the first known to describe completely and in detail the systemic circulation and properties of blood being pumped to the brain and body by the heart
- 12. He is a space observatory launched by NASA to discover Earth-size planets orbiting other stars
- 16. He is a modern physicists, known for his research on the mechanism that defines the way that fundamental particles acquire their masses, making it crucial to all theories of particle physics.
