In fact, Einstein was not the world's greatest mathematician, and it took him until 1917 to get all this worked out.
Charles BailynHOST
37:49
He had to go and get himself some math tutoring at the University of Göttingen, so that he could understand the geometric properties.
Charles BailynHOST
37:56
So, yeah, there's a big mathematical theory behind it.

Yes?

For a long time Göttingen held the highest rank among the universities of Germany, and though not now the first, is still of considerable importance.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
180:14
The university was founded in order to prevent the Hanoverians going elsewhere for university education, but to prevent the deadening influence of the clergy, those who drew up the scheme of the foundation determined to keep the appointment of all professors in the hands of the government.

You force the fan blade to freeze in one random spot, and you entirely lose the shape of the blur.
speaker_3HOST

Okay, let's unpack this then because today we are exploring a massive breakthrough from an interdisciplinary team at the University of Göttingen, published in Nature Communications, where they actually managed to image the complete three-dimensional wave function of a nanometer-sized organic molecule.
speaker_2HOST
5:10
Which is just a staggering achievement.
speaker_3HOST
5:12
It really is because they didn't just run some computer simulation.
Ajanta SubramanianHOST

What have people done to perpetuate, transform, and even attempt to abolish cast? I'm your host, Ajanta Subramanian, a professor of anthropology at the City University of New York, and joining me today are Rupa Vishwanath and Joel Lee.
Ajanta SubramanianHOST

Rupa is professor at the Center for Modern Indian Studies at the University of Göttingen and a fellow of Lucy Cavendish College at the University of Cambridge.
Ajanta SubramanianHOST

Her research interests include histories of slavery in South Asia and the politics of its historiography, the political economy of caste, and comparative racialization.
Ajanta SubramanianHOST

Joel is Associate Professor of Anthropology at Williams College.

It was clear that they were both gifted very soon, and then they studied in different places.

Towards the end of his first year at Cambridge, Oppenheimer, whose abilities were beginning to attract considerable attention amongst European physicists, accepted an offer from the German physicist Max Born to study under him at the University of Göttingen in Germany, one of Europe's great centers of learning.
Juan NaulaNARRATOR
5:33
There, Oppenheimer studied with a number of contemporaries who would become giants of the study of theoretical physics during the 20th century, notably Werner Heisenberg, Enrico Fermi, and Edward Teller, several of whom Oppenheimer would work alongside during the Manhattan Project in the midst of the Second World War.
