Johannes Stark - Johannes Stark Johannes Stark (April 15, 1874 - June 21, 1957) was a prominent 20th century physicist, and a Physics Nobel Prize laureate. Born in Schickenhof, Bavaria, Stark was educated at the Bayreuth Gymnasium (grammar school) and later in Regensburg. His collegiate education began at the Munich University, where he studied physics, mathematics, chemistry, and crystallography. His tenure at that college began in 1894; he graduated in 1897, with his doctoral dissertation regarding some physics subjects of Isaac Newton. He worked in various positions at the Physics Institute of his alma mater until 1900, when he became an unsalaried lecturer at the University of Göttingen. He moved throughout various physics colleges until 1922. In 1919, however, he won the Nobel Prize in physics for his "discovery.
Stark spectroscopy - Stark spectroscopy Stark spectroscopy or electroabsorption spectroscopy is a form of UV/Vis spectroscopy, albeit that the sample is exposed to a strong electrical field. This induces small changes in the energy of the electronic levels of the material under investigation and thus small differences in the absorption spectrum. The technique is named after Johannes Stark. See also: Stark effect.

Albert Einstein - as a teacher and lecturer (known as a Privatdozent), who had no share in the university government. Einstein's second son, Eduard, was born on July 28, 1910. He divorced Mileva on February 14, 1919. Einstein married his cousin Elsa Loewenthal (née Einstein: Loewenthal was the surname of her first husband, Max) on June 2, 1919. Elsa was Albert's first cousin (maternally) and his second cousin (paternally) and she was 3 years older than Albert. There were no children from this marriage. The fate of Albert and Mileva's first child, a daughter, born prior to their marriage, is unknown: some believe she died in infancy and some believe she was given out for adoption. The other two children were boys: one was institutionalized for schizophrenia and died in an asylum. The other.

Johannes Kepler - Johannes Kepler Johannes Kepler (December 27, 1571 - November 15, 1630), a key figure in the Scientific revolution, was a German astrologer, astronomer, and mathematician; best known for his laws of planetary motion. He is sometimes referred to as "the first theoretical astrophysicist." Carl Sagan also refers to him as the last scientific astrologer. Kepler was a professor of mathematics at the University of Graz, court mathematician to Emperor Rudolf II, and court astrologer to General Wallenstein. Early in his career, Kepler was an assistant of Brahe's. Kepler's career coincided with that of Galilei.

He studied at Wittenberg, where he soon gained the friendship of Martin Luther. In 1519 he accompanied Luther to the great assembly of German divines at Leipzig, and acted as recording secretary. After teaching for some time in Wittenberg, he went to Frankfurt in 1525 to establish the Protestant reformed mode of worship. He had resided there only a month when he was called to Eisleben, where he remained till 1526 as teacher in the school of St Andrew, and preacher in the Nicolai church. In 1536 he was recalled to teach in Wittenberg, and was welcomed by.

Johannes Longinus - Johannes Longinus \'Johannes Longinus' (Jan Dlugosz) (1415-1480) was a Polish historian (a chronicler) and a secretary of Bishop Zbigniew Olesnicki of Krakow. He was a canon of Krakow educated at Jagiellonian University in Krakow. Casimir IV Jagiello sent him on diplomatic mission to the papal and the imperial court for important political business. He was involved in negotiations with the Teutonic Knights and king Casimir IV during the Thirteen Years' War (1454-66) and at the peace negotiations. Longinus did not take the offered position to the archbishopric Prague, but shortly before his death he was elected archbishop of Lemberg or Lwow. His works : Liber beneficiorum ecclesiae Craceviensis ("Book of the Benefices of the Bishopric of Krakow") Historiae Polonicae libri xii originally appeared in 12 books.
Johannes Vermeer - Johannes Vermeer Johannes Vermeer (1632 - December 15, 1675) was a Dutch painter. Vermeer is also known as Vermeer of Delft or Johannes van der Meer. Vermeer was born in Delft and stayed there all his life. He was buried in the Old Church (Oude Kerk) in Delft. Vermeer is after Rembrandt the second most famous Dutch painter of the 17th century (a period which is better known as the Dutch Golden Age for its astonishing cultural and artistic achievements). His paintings are admired for their transparent colours, well though-out composition and brilliant use of light. Little is known about the life of Vermeer. He married Catharina Bolenes in 1653. In that same year he joined the Sint Lucas painters guild. Later, in 1662 and 1669,.
