The exhibition presenting the life and achievements of Marian Smoluchowski – an outstanding Polish physicist from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries – is now available online!
Marian Smoluchowski was one of the most prominent Polish physicists at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries and a creator of the foundations of modern physics. In 1904, he confirmed the possibility of observing fluctuations in physical quantities caused by the granular structure of matter. Based on this, he explained the phenomenon of Brownian motion (concurrently with Albert Einstein), which contributed to confirming the hypothesis of the atomic structure of matter.
According to Prof. Andrzej K. Wróblewski, an experimental physicist, historian of physics, specialist in elementary particle physics and high-energy physics, and a member of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Smoluchowski is one of four Poles whose discoveries are on par with the Nobel Prize.
We invite you to take a closer look at the exhibition!
