Scientific Correlations
Correlations of certain poems by Robert Frost to Scientific Models/Principles/Experiments.
Quantum Nature of Atoms
1900
% complete
The work of the formulation of the scientific principle of the Quantum nature of atoms began in 1900 with the ideas of Max Planck. It can be associated to Robert Frost's poems "A Never Naught Song" and "All Revelations"
Millikan’s Oil Drop Experiment
1909
% complete
The Oil Drop Experiment was performed by Robert Millikan in order to determine the "size" of the charge of an electron and was an advancement in the Quantum Theory. It can be related closely to the poem "A Wish to Comply" by Robert Frost
Rutherford’s Gold Foil Experiment
1909
% complete
An experiment where several alpha particles where shot at a piece of gold foil. Most went straight through but the occassional few bounced of in different directions. This led to the greater understanding of the atomic nucleus and the development of Quantum Theory. This experiment is seen by some in the poem "Version" by Robert Frost.
Bohr-Rutherford Model of the Atom
1915
% complete
This scientific model of the atom developed progressively by Rutherford and Bohr exemplifies the atom having a nucleus and orbitals orbiting it with each orbit having greater or lower energy. This model can be connected to the work "The secret sits" by Robert Frost.
Dual Nature of Light
1920
% complete
The Dual Nature of Light is a scientific principle based on the ideas of Quantum Theory. With the progression of the theory came the development of the idea of the dual nature of light which came to the highest attention in the 1920s. The Dual Nature of light can correlate to Robert Frost's poem "From Iron"
Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle
1927
% complete
This Scientific Principle states that the very action of human observance on a particle affects the particle and therefore we may never be certain of its velocity and position simultaneously. This principle can also be interpreted from the poem "For Once, Then Something" by Robert Frost.
Niels Bohr’s Complimentarity Principle
1928
% complete
The Complimentarity principle formulated by Niels Bohr states that if something displays one principle the complimentary one is obscured. This Scientific Principle is also related to the development of Quantum Theory and can be connected by the reader to Robert Frost's poem "For Once, Then Something"
