Three eminent physicists were born on Christmas Day. Gerhard Herzberg (1904-99) won the 1971 Nobel chemistry prize for his work in atomic and molecular spectroscopy. Ernst Ruska (1906-88) won the 1986 Nobel physics prize for inventing the electron microscope. Isaac Newton (1642-1727) . . . Im not sure I can summarize Newtons greatness in a sentence, but Ill try. Newton did more than anyone else to create what we know as physics - that is, the distillation in mathematical form of the laws of nature.
