Inan's Pictures in Europe:

(Georg Simon Ohm was a German physicist who discovered Ohm's law in 1826. He was born in Erlangen, Germany, on March 16, 1789 and died at the age of 65 in Munich, Germany, on July 6, 1854. The cause of his death was a sudden attack of apoplexy. He was buried in Munich on the following Sunday.)

(Josef von Fraunhofer was a German physicist and an extremely skilled optician who designed achromatic objective lenses for telescopes. He also built the first diffraction grating, comprised of 260 close parallel wires. He was born in Straubing, Germany, on March 6, 1787 and died of tuberculosis before he was forty years old in Munich, Germany, on June 7, 1826.)





Inan visiting Christian Doppler Research Institute and Memorial located at Makartplatz 1, A-5020 Salzburg, Austria.

(Christian Andreas Doppler was an Austrian physicist who developed the theory of Doppler effect and presented it at the Royal Bohemian Society on May 25, 1842. Doppler was born in Salzburg, Austria, on November 29, 1803. While he was working as the Director of the Institute of Physics at Vienna University in Vienna, Austria, his health had so deteriorated with severe chest problems that in November 1852, he took a six-month leave and traveled to Venice, Italy, with the hope that the warmer climate would help to change the course of his tuberculosis. By March 1853, it was clear that his health condition was sinking fast and he died in Venice on March 17, 1853.)





Inan visiting Boltzmann's grave located at Zentral Friedhof (Central Cemetery), Plot: Group 14C, Number 1, in Vienna, Austria.

(Ludwig Edward Boltzmann was an Austrian physicist who was born in Vienna, Austria, on February 20, 1844. He studied under Josef Stefan and was awarded a doctorate degree from the University of Vienna in 1866. After he taught at the University of Graz, he moved to Heidelberg where he worked under Bunsen for several months in 1869 and then moved to Berlin where he worked under Kirchhoff and Helmholtz in 1871. In 1890, he was appointed to the Chair of the Theoretical Physics at the University of Munich. In 1893, Stefan died and Boltzmann succeeded his position at University of Vienna. Despite his defense of his theories, Boltzmann's work on atomic structure was strongly opposed and attacked by many European scientists, they misunderstood his ideas and did not fully grasp the statistical nature of his reasoning. Depressed and in bad health, while he was on holiday with his wife and daughter, Boltzmann committed suicide by hanging himself and died in Duino, near Trieste, Italy, on September 5, 1906. His equation S = k log W relating entropy and disorder was engraved on the headstone of his grave.)

Inan family (Cem, Belgin, Baris and Aziz) visiting St. Stephens Cathedral (Stephansdom) located in Stephansplatz 3, Vienna 1010, Austria.

(St. Stephen's Cathedral (more commonly known by its German title: Stephansdom) is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vienna and the seat of the Archbishop of Vienna, Christoph Cardinal Schönborn, OP. The current Romanesque and Gothic form of the cathedral, seen today in the Stephansplatz, was largely initiated by Duke Rudolf IV (1339–1365) and stands on the ruins of two earlier churches, the first a parish church consecrated in 1147. The most important religious building in Vienna, St. Stephen's Cathedral has borne witness to many important events in Habsburg and Austrian history and has, with its multi-coloured tile roof, become one of the city's most recognizable symbols.)
