Enrico Fermi's 125th Birth Anniversary Marked Worldwide
Original: Enrico Fermi Was Born 125 Years Ago: What Is He Known For?
Anniversaries are being marked for Enrico Fermi, the Italian-American physicist born 125 years ago, best known for creating the world's first nuclear reactor, the Chicago Pile-1, and for his work on radioactivity and quantum theory. Fermi won the 1938 Nobel Prize in Physics and helped develop the first atomic bomb as part of the Manhattan Project. The Fermi paradox, questioning why humanity has not detected alien life, also bears his name.
Why now: The 125th anniversary of Fermi's birth has prompted reflections on his lasting contributions to physics.
