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. -- Saul Stadtmauer "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." C.P.
