I have been reading Nobel Lectures in physics to learn from the most brilliant, especially how their epoch-making ideas struck them in a compelling way (if you can propose more than one candidate theory for any physics then probably all of them are wrong). Below are some of my comments on them and their discoveries that you can download:

1. Max Planck-Blackbody Radiation.docx
2. Albert Einstein-Special and General Relativity.docx
3. De Broglie-Wave-Particle Duality.docx
4. Werner Heisenberg-Matrix Mechanics.docx
5. Erwin Schrodinger-Wave Mechanics.docx
6. Paul Dirac-Dirac Equation.docx
7. Wolfgang Pauli-Exclusion Principle.docx
8. Max Born-Probabilistic Interpretation.docx
9. Yang-Parity Violation.docx
10. Mossbauer-Recoiless Resonance Absorption.docx
11. Feynman-Path Integral and Feynman Diagram.docx
12. Giaever-Tunneling in Superconductors.docx
13. Geim-Isolation and Characterization of Graphene.docx

Many More Coming Up Soon!
