In 1946, Oppenheimer referred to it by saying "The physicists have known sin, " and this propagated.

The physicists state that the material contains multiple universes analogous to our own, but with three, rather than four dimensions.
ENGADGET: Alt-week 2.2.13: SpaceLiners, building a brain and the man made multiverse
Which got the physicists to thinking that maybe the sun was involved.
FORBES: Radioactive Decay Rates May Not Be Constant After All
Using Keck I, a telescope on a mountain-top in Hawaii, the physicists analysed light emanating from very bright but distant galaxies called quasars.
At the time, the physicists were stunned because such a result seemed to break Einstein's prediction that nothing could travel faster than light.
In the Southwest Desert, under the leadership of Robert Oppenheimer, the physicists of Los Alamos won that race and changed the course of history.
What the physicists at Super-Kamiokande found was evidence of such shifting.
One of the interesting means the physicists article focuses on is the use of proton-induced x-ray emission (PIXE), which allows for a non-destructive study of art objects.
According to the physicists, when a large black hole captures a smaller object like a medium-sized star the process causes gravitational radiation to be emitted in a preferential direction.
What the physicists who ran these statistical tests did not realise was that the series of neutrino numbers had this type of interdependence between them Dr Walther has shown that numbers counted in one month depended on the number of neutrinos counted the previous month.
The biologists and the chemists and the atmospheric physicists disagree violently as to the cause of this.
The team of physicists was investigating the possibility of using radioactive decay rates to generate random numbers, since the rate is constant but the emission of individual atoms is unpredictable, it seemed like a perfect fit.
FORBES: Radioactive Decay Rates May Not Be Constant After All
This led to the discovery of the top quark, the heaviest elementary particle seen to date and the penultimate piece of the jigsaw puzzle known as the Standard Model that is the best description physicists have of the basic components of the universe.
ECONOMIST: The future of physics (1): So long, and thanks for all the quarks | The
Full marks on the maths to our physicists but the interpretation could do with a little polishing.
In fact, if the theoretical physicists are right, our correspondent says, then we will never be able to see inside these strange phenomena.
Just as the world's great physicists created the multi-billion dollar Great Hadron Collider to smash particles until Higgs was revealed.
Although some famous physicists are championing the idea, Dr Lisi, who spends his time surfing and snowboarding and is not employed by a university or research institute, has by no means won the acceptance of all physicists.
ECONOMIST: A shape could describe the cosmos and all it contains
However, the biggest problem, both authors believe, is that string theorists have promoted their subject aggressively, often taking the best jobs in universities and blocking the advancement of physicists who would seek to use other means to unify the laws of physics.
Over his lifetime the number of working physicists steadily soared, eliminating the collegiality of his early working life.
ECONOMIST: Hans Bethe, nuclear physicist, died on March 6th, aged 98
Finding the Higgs boson would help explain the origin of mass, one of the open questions in physicists' current understanding of the way the universe works.
On the other hand, the good news for physicists is that, if the theory is correct, the loops formed by these extra dimensions, unlike those of standard string theory, will be relatively large.
The consensus among physicists is that particles began massless and got their mass subsequently from something known as the Higgs field the search for which was one reason for building the Large Hadron Collider, a huge and powerful particle accelerator located near Geneva.
"There's a huge synergy there, in astronomers trying to find the influence of dark matter by mapping stars and galaxies and large structures in the universe, and particle physicists trying to discover the source of that influence of dark matter through subatomic particles here on Earth, " said Jason Kalirai, deputy project scientist for the telescope at the Space Telescope Science Institute.
For the truth is that physicists are both bored and frustrated by the Standard Model.
Some of the arguments he traces are familiar, from various attempts to prove the logical necessity of the existence of god to speculations among more adventurous physicists that the universe got its start as a kind of lucky quantum burp.
In January he published the first details of his new approach, developed with physicists at the Heinrich-Heine University of Dusseldorf.
The new computer simulation allows doctors and physicists to model the faulty heart beats (arrhythmias) that can cause cardiac arrest, and run episodes of arrhythmia time and again, looking for the best way of treating it.
In order for the mathematisation of nature, that many historians regard as the core of the scientific revolution, to be consummated it became necessary in the 16th and 17th centuries to reform the prevailing education system and introduce a thorough grounding in the mathematical sciences in order to produce the mathematicians, astronomers and physicists capable of carrying out the task.
FORBES: A Long Forgotten Father of the Scientific Revolution
The first particle physicists detected their subatomic subjects, including cosmic rays, using devices called cloud chambers.
Since the initial findings were disclosed in the summer, physicists have eagerly awaited fresh experimental data.
