i will only pronounce “gif” as “jif” when theodore maiman comes back from the dead to tell us all that “laser” is actually pronounced “læssier” like in that one sonic meme

OKAY TUMBLR. IT'S TIME TO SETTLE THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL.

Reblog this if you pronounce “.gif” as “GIF.”

NOT JIF,

GIF.

And here is the link for the opposite.

WE SHALL SEE WHICH ONE PREVAILS.

Holography

The fascinating journey of holography began in the 1940s when Hungarian-British physicist Dennis Gabor coined the term. Originally, Gabor envisioned holography as a means to improve electron microscopy. However, the lack of an appropriate light source hindered progress. It wasn't until the invention of the laser by Theodore Maiman in 1960 that holography found its essential element. The breakthrough allowed physicists Emmett Leith and Juris Upatnieks to develop the first practical laser-driven holographic system in 1962, opening the doors to high-quality holograms. By the 1970s, holography had entered the commercial realm, with holograms appearing on credit cards and security documents, and artists exploring it as a medium for creative expression.

Looking ahead, holography holds immense potential across various domains. In the field of medical imaging, holography could redefine how we visualize and understand the human body, offering detailed three-dimensional representations of internal structures. In telecommunications, advancements in holographic displays may lead to more immersive virtual meetings, enabling individuals to feel present in a different location. The entertainment industry is already experimenting with holographic technology for live performances, projecting realistic images of performers on stage. Holography's applications in education, data storage, and scientific visualization further underscore its versatility. Challenges such as cost and complexity persist, but ongoing research aims to overcome these barriers and make holography more accessible.

As we stand on the cusp of the future, holography seems poised to revolutionize various industries, offering not just realistic visual experiences but also groundbreaking solutions in fields ranging from medicine to education and beyond. The ongoing quest for practical applications and advancements in materials promises to unlock even greater possibilities for holography in the years to come.

LASER TECHNOLOGY FOR DIAMOND CUTTING PROCESS

The history of diamond processing and the development of laser technology indeed intersect at various points, leading to significant advancements in diamond cutting and various industries.

Diamond processing has a long history, dating back centuries. Traditional diamond cutting involved labor-intensive methods, and it wasn't until the invention of the diamond saw in the 15th century that significant progress was made in shaping diamonds. However, these methods were limited in precision and speed.

In the 20th century, the emergence of laser technology marked a turning point in diamond processing. Albert Einstein's work in the early 20th century, particularly his theoretical groundwork on stimulated emission of radiation, laid the foundation for the development of lasers. His concepts were essential in understanding the principles of how lasers function.

In 1960, Theodore H. Maiman created the first functional laser at Hughes Research Laboratories. Maiman used a synthetic ruby crystal to produce coherent light in the red part of the spectrum, demonstrating the principle of a working laser. This breakthrough paved the way for further advancements in laser technology and its applications across various industries.

The utilization of lasers in diamond processing revolutionized the industry. Lasers offered precise cutting capabilities that were not achievable with traditional methods. They allowed for intricate and detailed cuts in diamonds with minimal waste, improving both the quality and efficiency of diamond processing.

With the adoption of laser technology in diamond cutting, jewelers and manufacturers could create more complex designs and achieve higher precision in shaping diamonds, enhancing their brilliance and overall aesthetic appeal.

The convergence of advancements in both diamond processing and laser technology in the 20th and 21st centuries significantly transformed the diamond industry, leading to more efficient and precise methods of cutting and shaping diamonds, ultimately benefiting various sectors, including jewelry, manufacturing, and technology.

Burası İzmir. Bu kişi de meşhur bilim adamı Einstein.

Einstein'ın İzmir Kız Lisesi meselesini bir kenara bırakırsak bu iki fotoğraf arasında haddimi aşarak bir bağ kurdum.

Bu fotoğraf İzmir yangınından sonra çekilmiş bir fotoğraf.

Bu binalar neden yok biliyor musunuz?

Zamanının belediye başkanları öyle uygun gördüğü için.

İzmir yangınında yanan yer sadece İzmir Fuarı kadar bir alan.

Gerisini ateş değil eline kazma küreği alan cehalet yok etmiş.

Belediye başkanları ikiye ayrılır. 1) Vizyon sahibi olup o gün alkışlanmasa da ileride alkışlanacak işleri yapanlar. Genellikle bu kişiler özellikle kendini kentin sahini sanan kendinden muktedir tipler ile pek aynı kareye girmez, onun yerine köylü çiftçi, ara sokak esnafı daha çok onun dinlediği kişilerdir. 2) Tirbünlere oynayıp çok iyi başkan ya kaldırımları yaptı falan dedirtenler. İşte bu tayfa genellikle kentin önde gelen isimleri ile bol bol fotoğraf çektirir, selam çakar.

Emin olun ki bu binaları yıkıp yerine ona buna peşkeş çekilen bina ve şakşakçı rantçı çevresi o belediye başkanları için tarihin en iyi belediye başkanı demişlerdir.

Eğer bu yapıları korunsaydı, o zaman İzmir, cruiseların olmazsa olmaz durağı olacak, yerli ve yabancı turist bütün sektörlerini besleyen bir turizm cazibe noktası olacaktı. (bknz: Antalya ve turizmin etkisi) Tüm bunlar bir yana güzel bir kentte yaşayan insanların psikolojileri de daha iyi olacaktı. Sanırım bu vizyona sahip bir belediye başkanı ilk seçimde görevden alınırdı.

Einstein ne alaka derseniz.

Einstein'ıın ışık hızı ve kuantum üzerine yaptığı çalışmalar o gün için hiç bir maddi karşılığı olmayan, ne işimize yarayacak ki denilen çalışmalardı. Ama ABD hükümeti o gün için karşılığı olmayan bütün çalışmaları için Eİnstein'a limitsiz fon ve özgürce çalışma ortamı yarattı.

1917 senesinde Albert Einstein, lazerin arkasında yatan süreç olan uyarılmış emisyon ilkesini ilk kez ışığın emilmesi ve emisyonu hakkındaki makalesinde açıkladı.

Buradan yola çıkan Charles Townes 1951 senesinde mikrodalgayı bir adım sonra 1959 senesinde Gordon Gould, makalesinde bu fenomene LASER ismini verdi. 16 Mayıs 1960 günü ise Theodore Maiman işlevsel olan kızıl ışık yayan lazeri pratik kullanıma uygun hale getirdi.

Bugün bütün dünyadaki barkod okuma ve qr kod ile ödeme yapma, stok, sayım, lojistik, en basitinden marketlerde kasalardaki akışı sağlayan sistemi- günlük hayatta ne işimize yarayacak - denilen bir icad sağladı. Einstein Türkiye'de kalsa İzmir Kız lisesinde fizik öğretmeni olacaktı...

Umarım kentimizde, "bir sonraki seçimi" değil bari on yıl ilerisini düşünebilen, ön görebilen, vizyon sahibi bir kişi belediye başkanı olarak seçilir.
