Famed investor Peter Thiel's first company investment was in PayPal. Apple's first product was the Apple I computer. The first investor in Google was Andy Bechtolsheim, of Sun Microsystems. Facebook's first employee was Mark Zuckerberg's college roommate, Eduardo Saverin. Twitter's first CEO was Jack Dorsey, who is now CEO of Square. The first investor in Uber was Garrett Camp, who is also a co-founder.
Quantum mechanics is the branch of physics that deals with the behavior of matter and energy on the atomic and subatomic level. It is a relatively new field of physics, with the first quantum mechanics theory being published in 1879. Since then, quantum mechanics has been developed further by physicists such as Erwin Schrödinger, Paul Dirac, Richard Feynman, and John Stewart Bell.
Galileo Galilei was the first person to use a telescope to view the night sky. He made numerous discoveries with his telescope, including the four moons of Jupiter, the phases of Venus , and sunspots on the surface of the sun.
The average person spends quite a bit of time on their phone every day, with some even admitting to being addicted to their device. Checking social media, taking calls, and text messaging are just some of the activities people use their phones for on a daily basis.
The first computers were created in the early 1800s and were used to help with military calculations. They were large and expensive, and not available to the general public. They were slow and had limited storage, and were used primarily by scientists and mathematicians.
There are two main types of telescopes - optical and radio. Optical telescopes use mirrors to reflect and refract light, while radio telescopes use antennas to collect electromagnetic radiation. The first telescope was invented in the Netherlands in 1608. Today, the largest optical telescope in the world is the Keck Observatory, while the largest radio telescope is the Arecibo Observatory. The Hubble Space Telescope, launched in 1990, has made some of the most iconic images of our universe.
Quantum computers are able to store and process information using quantum bits, or qubits. They are able to solve certain problems, such as factorization, much faster than classical computers. Quantum computers are still in their early stages of development and are not yet widely available.
Hundreds of new asteroids are discovered by astronomers every year. Most asteroids are found in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Some asteroids have their own moons. Asteroids come in a variety of sizes, with the largest ones being over 1000km in diameter. Impact craters on Earth, such as the famous one in Arizona, are thought to be the result of asteroid collisions. There is a small chance that an asteroid could one day collide with Earth, causing catastrophic damage.
