Today is National Dolphin Day! Find a joke about it!
Why don't dolphins play basketball?
Because they're afraid of the net!
What is a dolphin’s favourite TV programme?
Whale of fortune!
What does a dolphin ask when he doesn't understand?
Can you be more Pacific?!
How do dolphins make a decision?
They flipper coin!

Lars OnsagerDied 5 Oct 1976 at age 72 (born 27 Nov 1903).Norwegian-born American chemist whose development of a general theory of irreversible chemical processes gained him the 1968 Nobel Prize for Chemistry. These Onsager reciprocal relations have importance in a wide range of applications. Throughout his career, he studied the thermodynamics and kinetics of electrolytes. In 1944 he derived the exact solution of the two-dimensional Ising model, a model of a ferromagnet. This virtuosic mathematical feat led to a deeper understanding of phase transitions and critical points. From about 1940 Onsager investigated low-temperature physics. He suggested the quantization of vortices in liquid helium, and in 1952 extracted information about the distribution of electrons from the de Haas-van Alphen effect. |
