Wnat motivates Jews to study and learn is the common
belief that education is, above all, a route to accom-
plishment through hard work."You shall teach your
children" is a tenet from the bible heeded for thousands
of years. That truth is confirmed many times over in
achievements through research by the many Nobel
Laureates Judaism has spawned.
GABRIEL LIPPIVIANN
(1845-1921)b.Hollerich, Luxembourg
Physicist He was a giant of his day
in the world of classical physics--a
multi-talented researcher best known
for his contributions to optics and
electricity. Of French parentage, he
worked in Berlin with the famed Hermann von Helmholtz
before settling in Paris to head (in 1886) the Sorbonne's
Laboratories of Physical Research until his death. His
inventions include an instrument for precisely measuring
minute differences in electrical power and the "coleostat"
for steady, long-exposure sky photography. While also
laying early groundwork for the science • of super-
conductivity, he developed a revolutionary color photo
process for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize for
Physics in 1908.
NIELS BOHR
(1885-1962)b. Copenhagen, Denmark
Physicist With inspired insight, he
solved a puzzle that had stymied
nuclear physicists--a rationale for the
stability of atoms. His model intro-
duced quantum theory into equations
describing the orbits of electrons and how atoms absorb
and emit energy. These advances, for which he was
awarded a Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922, opened
pathways to splitting the atom. The founder of
Denmark's prestigious Institute of Theoretical Physics
escaped to England during World War II and pursued
research which transformed our understanding of atomic
structure. A foremost scientist in modern physics, he also
labored long for peace and won the Ford Foundation's
first Atoms-for-Peace Prize iii 1956.
DENNIS GABOR
(1900-79) b. Budapest, Hungary
Physicist The naturalized English
citizen had fled Nazi Germany in
1933 and pioneered holography
while helping perfect electron
microscopes for the British firm of
.
Thomson-Houston. His discovery, which led to the 1971
Nobel Prize for Physics, used light of a single wavelength
to produce visual images in three dimensions from
"interference patterns" on photographic plates.The tech-
nique, now utilizing lasers, is widely applied as well in
precise scientific measurement, computer technology and
medical diagnosis. Holography and other developments
in high-speed oscilloscopes, physical optics and TV
systems earned him more than 100 patents and numerous
professional honors.

"Take any test of achievement you like, in any branch of
science, mathematics, literature, music. The Jewish
performance has been not only disproportionate, but
almost ridiculously disproportionate."
