HIST 270, History of Science


20th Century Physics


The 20th century was full of a lot of great physicists, inventions, and developments.

Industrial laboratories contributed the most to physics during the twentieth century. 20th-century

physicists had more significant achievements in space rather than on earth. One of the great

physicists that contributed significantly during this time was Albert Einstein. Overall, the

twentieth century was full of discoveries, space achievements, and further success with the use of

industrial laboratories.


Laboratories started opening for more than just technology and started gearing more

towards science. “What is impressive about industrial civilization in the twentieth and now

twenty-first centuries is the extraordinary success of governments and industry in utilizing the

science and the research frontier for practical, economic ends” (Bertolini et al., 2006, p.393).

Upon this happening, it opened up more options and scientific developments for physicists

everywhere. The war effort also helped fund technology and physics with maximum funding to

help develop and stay ahead of other countries.


Physicists in the twentieth century had more advances in space than on earth. “The

exploration of space in the second half of the twentieth century and today was a singular

outgrowth of the developing interconnection of science and the military” (Bertolini et al., 2006,

p.396). The first satellite was launched in 1957 by the Russians, called Sputnik. In 1969

American crew aboard Apollo 11 were the first humans to land on the moon. In 1912, Viktor

Hess launched a balloon into the sky and discovered cosmic rays.
