The physics

Five stickers on one sheet. Five physicists, and the equations that still run the world, or at least argue about it.

Newton's line is Gravity Hits Different. The force he published in the Principia in 1687 is here as universal gravitation: every mass pulls every other mass. Written F = G m1 m2 / r², falling apples and orbiting moons become the same problem. The companion formula is the second law as a rate of change of momentum, the form that still works when F = ma does not.

Curie's line is She Literally Glowed Up. The glow was radium's. In 1898 she and Pierre announced polonium and radium; she shared the 1903 Nobel in Physics and took Chemistry alone in 1911, the first person with two Nobels and still the only one across two sciences. The exponential decay law on this page came soon after, from Rutherford and Soddy in 1902, built on measurements like hers.

Tesla's line is AC Slays DC. His 1888 polyphase patents made alternating current useful at the motor end; the transformer ratio here is why AC could travel far while steady DC of the day could not. It was Westinghouse's company, not Tesla alone, that fought Edison's direct-current interests.

Feynman's line is Quantum? It's Complicated. In 1948 he summed amplitudes over every path a particle might take. Square the total and you get a probability. He shared the 1965 Nobel with Tomonaga and Schwinger for quantum electrodynamics.

Hawking's line is Black Holes? Been There, Bent That. In 1974 he showed that black holes should radiate with a temperature inversely proportional to mass. That radiation has not been seen from an astrophysical black hole. Whether information survives evaporation is still open.

Five faces. Five formulas. Peel carefully.

Equations

\[\vec F = \frac{d\vec p}{dt}\]
\[F = \frac{G m_1 m_2}{r^{2}}\]
\[N(t) = N_0 e^{-\lambda t}\]
\[t_{1/2} = \frac{\ln 2}{\lambda}\]
\[\frac{V_s}{V_p} = \frac{N_s}{N_p}\]
\[K(b,a) = \sum_{\text{paths}} e^{iS[x(t)]/\hbar}\]
\[T_H = \frac{\hbar c^{3}}{8\pi G M k_B}\]
