Joule is the SI unit of energy or work. It measures the amount of energy transferred when a force of one newton acts over a distance of one meter.

A seismograph detects and records seismic waves produced by earthquakes. Barometers measure air pressure, hydrometers measure liquid density, and polygraphs are used for lie detection.

The Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature scales intersect at -40 degrees, meaning -40°C equals -40°F. This is the only temperature where both scales show the same numerical value.

Nicolaus Copernicus formulated the heliocentric model in the 16th century, proposing that the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun. This challenged the prevailing geocentric view.

Ole Rømer first demonstrated that light has a finite speed in 1676 by observing Jupiter's moon Io. Einstein developed relativity theory, Newton formulated laws of motion, and Galileo studied motion but didn't measure light speed.

Albert Einstein formulated the mass-energy equivalence principle E=mc² in 1905, showing that mass and energy are interchangeable. Planck studied quantum theory, Dalton developed atomic theory, and Rutherford discovered the atomic nucleus.
