Famous physicists
SI unit or...?
What's heavier?
measure this!
Do physicists care?
100

Created theories of general and special relativity

Albert Einstein

100

Tesla

The SI unit for magnetic field strength

100

A kilogramme of feathers or a kilogramme of steele

they weigh the same mate, they're both a kilogramme!

100

age of the moon

uses radiometric dating of rubidium 87!
100
how a pendulum oscillates in a grandfather clock.

yes!

200

Observed many planets using his improved telescope, created notions of friction, and was also imprisoned in his home by the Catholic church for his scientific promotions.

Galileo Galilei

200

Scoville

A unit of spiciness, but not an SI unit :^)

200

a cubic foot of air or a cubic foot of helium?

Air! that's why balloons float.

(fun fact about helium, most helium is created from radioactive decays in the earth's mantle and crust!)

200

the speed of light

Measured very precisely by Michelson and Morley!

look it up! its worthwhile!

200

the structure of DNA

biology

300

Invented Calculus as well as creating the basis for all of classical physics. He actually did too much for me to reasonably list here, so just imagine an apple falling on a head instead.

Isaac Newton

300

Mole

SI unit for an amount of a substance! chemistry takers rejoice!

300

DAILY DOUBLE:

note to host, refer to your phone for this one.
hello
300

consciousness

dude we're not even sure what consciousness is

300

Building a quantum computer.

yes! quantum computation is all physics!

400

Discovered polonium, radium, and actually named Radioactivity. She actually won the nobel prize in both physics and chemistry!

Marie Curie

400
Sandberg

idk some guys last name

400

1837 electrons or 1 proton

the electrons win!

400

the size of an electron

It's simply too small to be measured. We actually use electrons to measure small things!

400

How aerosolized particles move through the air.

Debatable, but most modern scientists who study this are usually engineers!

500

Helped create the basis for our best known theory of the universe, the standard model. He did this through his contributions on Quantum Electrodynamics. Known for playing the bongos, harassing women, and his diagrams. 

Richard Feynman

500

Planck

Again, a physicists name, but he does have Planck's constant, a very fundamental constant to the universe!

500

The moon or all the water in Earth's oceans?

The moon,

For reference, the mass of the moon is 7.35x10^22 kg,

while the water in the oceans is 1.4x10^21
(about 52.5 times smaller!)

500

the wavefunction

by definition, it is not measurable. In fact, many argue it's not even a real thing.

500

Ice floating on water

yes, although chemistry often teaches you why too.
