Its John Archibald Wheeler Birthday born July 9, 1911 in Jacksonville, Florida, and died April 13, 2008 in Hightstown, New Jersey1, was an American theoretical physicist. We owe him a lot of work in theoretical physics, including nuclear fission, where he was the first to develop the model, together with Niels Bohr in 1939, which earned them the Franklin Medal in 1969. Part of Einsteins last collaborators, Wheeler tried to finish the draft unified theory of the latter. Must Wheeler equation Harrison-Wheeler describes nuclear matter at high density (inside neutron stars, for example). He popularized the term black hole to describe what was called previously occluded stars Appointed professor at Princeton in the 1930s, he taught there until 1978 except for the period from 1941 to 1945 where he participated in Manhattan1 project development of the atomic bomb. Wheeler had such as student Richard Feynman, he directed the thesis, and Kip Thorne.
