This timeline lists significant discoveries in physics and the laws of nature, including experimental discoveries, theoretical proposals that were confirmed experimentally, and theories that have significantly influenced current thinking in modern physics. Such discoveries are often a multi-step, multi-person process.
1924: Edwin Hubble: the discovery that the Milky Way is just one of many galaxies; 1925: Erwin Schrödinger: Schrödinger equation (Quantum mechanics) 1925: Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin: Discovery of the composition of the Sun and that hydrogen is the most abundant element in the Universe; 1927: Werner Heisenberg: Uncertainty principle (Quantum ...
Discovered through gamma-ray burst mapping. Largest-known regular formation in the observable universe. [8] Huge-LQG (2012–2013) 4,000,000,000 [9] [10] [11] Decoupling of 73 quasars. Largest-known large quasar group and the first structure found to exceed 3 billion light-years. "The Giant Arc" (2021) 3,300,000,000 [12] Located 9.2 billion ...
2013 – The Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall, a massive galaxy filament and the largest known structure in the universe, was discovered through gamma-ray burst mapping. [ 19 ] [ 20 ] [ 21 ] 2014 – The Laniakea Supercluster , the galaxy supercluster that is home to the Milky Way is defined via a new way of defining superclusters ...
The Big Bang theory was confirmed in 1929 by the American astronomer Edwin Hubble's analysis of galactic redshifts. [62] But the Big Bang theory had been presaged three-quarters of a century earlier in the American poet and short-story writer Edgar Allan Poe's then much-derided essay, Eureka: A Prose Poem (1848). [12] [63] [64]
He was a long-time member of the Puckett Observatory World Supernova Search Team, and as of the date of disbandment of the Team in October 2019, was credited with one pre-discovery, over 210 discoveries and co-discoveries, and one cataclysmic variable discovery in June 2010. [5] Newton helped establish the astronomy program at the Lester B ...
The smaller basin in the north is home to the newly discovered northern green anaconda. The newly discovered northern green anaconda lurks in the waters on the Amazon's Orinoco basin. The two ...
First planet discovered to have a retrograde orbit [131] and first to have quartz (crystalline silica, SiO 2) in its clouds. [132] Has an exteremely low density of 0.08 g/cm 3, [133] the lowest of any exoplanet when it was discovered, and was possibly the largest exoplanet at the time of discovery, with a radius of 1.92 R J. [134] KELT-19 Ab: 1 ...
