Kathy Loves Physics & History | How the 3rd Law of Thermodynamics Made Einstein Famous @Kathy_Loves_Physics | Uploaded 5 years ago | Updated 20 hours ago
The 3rd law of thermodynamics was created by Walther Nernst who turned to the radical ideas of a young Albert Einstein to support it. This quirky history is vital to understanding how quantum mechanics developed and how the 3rd law works.

Wilhelm Rontgen discovered and named x-rays because x was unknown. But why were x-rays unknown and why did the name stick outside of Germany but not inside Germany where it was discovered? Watch the video to find out!

If you would like to read the original newspaper report about x-rays translated into English check it out here:

If you wish to read Roentgens first paper or first magazine article or a report on how people responded to the x-ray (including that story of secretly checking someones fiancee) I highly recommend the book:
Wilhelm Conrad Rntgen and the Early History of the Roentgen Rays by Otto Glasser written in 1934 and reprinted in 1991.
