Sejarah Face Book

Mark Zuckerberg memulai Facebook pada dari ruang kamarnya di Harvard. Setelah berhenti sekolah dan pindah ke Silicon Valley, penemu Facebook ini mulai memantapkan langkahnya di bisnis situs jejaring social. Saat ini Zurkerberg merupakan milyuner terkaya di dunia sepanjang sejarah yang menghasilkan kekayaan sepenuhnya dari usaha sendiri.

Facebook adalah website jaringan sosial dimana para pengguna dapat bergabung dalam komunitas seperti kota, kerja, sekolah, dan daerah untuk melakukan koneksi dan berinteraksi dengan orang lain. Orang juga dapat menambahkan teman-teman mereka, mengirim pesan, dan memperbarui profil pribadi agar orang lain dapat melihat tentang dirinya.

Hebohnya, dalam waktu dua minggu setelah diluncurkan, separuh dari semua mahasiswa Harvard telah mendaftar dan memiliki account di Facebook. Tak hanya itu, beberapa kampus lain di sekitar Harvard pun meminta untuk dimasukkan dalam jaringan Facebook. Zuckerberg pun akhirnya meminta bantuan dua temannya untuk membantu mengembangkan Facebook dan memenuhi permintaan kampus-kampus lain untuk bergabung dalam jaringannya. Dalam waktu 4 bulan semenjak diluncurkan, Facebook telah memiliki 30 kampus dalam jaringannya.

Dengan kesuksesannya tersebut, Zuckerberg beserta dua orang temannya memutuskan untuk pindah ke Palo Alto dan menyewa apartemen di sana. Setelah beberapa minggu di Palo Alto. Zuckerberg berhasil bertemu dengan Sean Parker (cofounder Napster), dan dari hasil pertemuan tersebut Parker pun setuju pindah ke apartemen Facebook untuk bekerja sama mengembangkan Facebook. Tidak lama setelah itu, Parker berhasil mendapatkan Peter Thiel (cofounder Paypal) sebagai investor pertamanya. Thiel menginvestasikan 500 ribu US Dollar untuk pengembangan Facebook.

Pada September 2005 Facebook tidak lagi membatasi jaringannya hanya untuk mahasiswa., Facebook pun membuka jaringannya untuk para siswa SMU. Beberapa waktu kemudian Facebook juga membuka jaringannya untuk para pekerja kantoran. Dan akhirnya pada September 2006 Facebook membuka pendaftaran untuk siapa saja yang memiliki alamat e-mail.

Tidak ada situs jejaring sosial lain yang mampu menandingi daya tarik Facebook terhadap user. Hingga Juli 2007, situs ini memiliki jumlah pengguna terdaftar paling besar di antara situs-situs yang berfokus pada sekolah dengan lebih dari 34 juta anggota aktif yang dimilikinya dari seluruh dunia. Terdapat penambahan 200 ribu account baru perharinya Lebih dari 25 juta user aktif menggunakan Facebook setiap harinya. Rata-rata user menghabiskan waktu sekitar 19 menit perhari untuk melakukan berbagai aktifitas di Facebook.

Melihat perkembangan yang begitu signifikan tersebut sang pendahulunya Friendster bermaksud untuk membeli facebook seharga 10 juta US Dollar, namun ditolak oleh Zuckerberg. Ia juga pernah menolak tawaran dari Viacom yang ingin membeli facebook seharga 750 juta US Dollar, dan terakhir tawaran dari Yahoo yang ingin membeli facebook seharga 1 milyar US Dollar.

Pada usia 23 tahun, penemu situs jejaring social Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg adalah milyuner termuda sepanjang sejarah yang menghasilkan kekayaan dengan usahanya sendiri. Seperti diumumkan oleh majalah Forbes, Zurkerberg ada pada urutan 785 dalam daftar orang – orang terkaya dunia.

Matthew Miller, Forbes Associate Editor mengatakan, “Ia adalah milyader termuda di dunia, dan ia menghasilkan kekayaan dengan usahanya sendiri.” Mark Zurkerberg memiliki nilai kekayaan sebesar $1.5 milyar kira-kira sama dengan kekayaan yang dimiliki Oprah Winfrey.

Satu pertanyaan muncul tentang bagaimana mengkalkulasi kekayaan tersebut. Beberapa orang berargumen bahwa ia memiliki kekayaan lebih dari $1.5 milyar karena ia menginvestasikan $240 juta dollar saat Microsoft membeli 1.6% saham Facebook pada tahun 2007. Dengan investasi Microsoft, kapitalisasi pasar Facebook kira-kira $15 milyar. Mark memiliki 30% saham perusahaan, yang membuatnya seharusnya memiliki tidak kurang dari $5 milyar secara nilai.

Valuasi Facebook dicerminkan oleh penjualan tahunan-nya yang mencapai $150 juta. Penjualan tersebut sebagaian besar berkat kontribusi dari kesepakatan penerimaan iklan oleh Microsoft.

Mark Zuckerberg memulai Facebook pada February 2004 dari ruang kamarnya di Harvard. Setelah berhenti sekolah dan pindah ke Silicon Valley, penemu Facebook ini mulai memantapkan langkahnya di bisnis situs jejaring social. Saat ini Zurkerberg merupakan milyuner terkaya di dunia sepanjang sejarah yang menghasilkan kekayaan sepenuhnya dari usaha sendiri.

MARIE CURIE's Biography

Nama asalnya: Maria Sklodowska. Marie Curie lebih masyhur dari banyak ilmuwan yang saya masukkan dalam daftar seratus tokoh buku ini. Tetapi, tampak oleh saya, kemasyhurannya tidaklah bertolak dari arti penting ilmiah yang sudah diperbuatnya, tetapi lebih banyak disebabkan karena dia seorang wanita. Kariernya menunjukkan, dalam jenis jenis pekerjaan yang mungkin, seorang wanita sanggup melakukan penyelidikan ilmiah yang punya kualitas tinggi. Atas dasar ini dia menjadi amat gemerlapan, sehingga banyak orang yang punya kesan bahwa dialah orang yang menemukan radioaktif. Tetapi nyatanya radioaktif diketemukan oleh Antoine Henri Becquerel. Tak perlu dipersoalkan lagi bahwa prioritas jatuh pada Becquerel, karena baru sesudah Marie Curie membaca laporan penemuan Becquerel barulah dia dan lakinya, Pierre, yang juga sama-sama ilmuwan berbakat mulai penyelidikan masalah itu.

Yang sesungguhnya hasil karya Marie Curie yang mengesankan adalah penemuan dan pemisahan elemen kimia radium. Sebelum ini, dia sudah menemukan elemen radioaktif lain yang dijulukinya "polonium," diambil dari nama negeri asalnya, Polandia. Ini memang betul-betul karya yang mengagumkan, tetapi tidaklah mempunyai arti penting yang menonjol dalam teori ilmiah.

Tahun 1903, Marie Curie, Pierre Curie dan Antoine Henri Becquerel secara bersama-sama peroleh Hadiah Nobel untuk bidang fisika. Dan tahun 1911 Marie Curie dapat lagi Hadiah Nobel, kali ini untuk bidang kimia. Ini membuatnya orang pertama yang peroleh Hadiah Nobel dua kali.

Menarik untuk dicatat bahwa Marie Curie punya anak-anak kecil tatkala dia menyelesaikan penyelidikan ilmiah paling pentingnya. Puteri tertuanya, Irene, juga menjadi ilmuwan yang berhasil gemilang. Irene kawin dengan pria yang juga ilmuwan berbakat, Jean Frederic Joliot. Sepasang suami istri itu bersama-sama menemukan radioaktif buatan (artifisial). Untuk penemuan ini (yang bisa dianggap "keturunan" dari penemuan radio-aktif alamiah!) menyebabkan Joliot dan Curie membagi Hadiah Nobel tahun 1935. Puteri kedua Marie Curie, Eve, menjadi musikus terkenal dan pengarang. Betul-betul sebuah keluarga luar biasa!

Nonya Marie Curie meninggal dunia tahun 1934, kena leukemia. Besar kemungkinan akibat berulang kali berhadapan dengan benda-benda yang mengandung radioaktif.

Biography Albert Einsten

Albert Einstein was born at Ulm, in Württemberg, Germany, on March 14, 1879. Six weeks later the family moved to Munich, where he later on began his schooling at the Luitpold Gymnasium. Later, they moved to Italy and Albert continued his education at Aarau, Switzerland and in 1896 he entered the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich to be trained as a teacher in physics and mathematics. In 1901, the year he gained his diploma, he acquired Swiss citizenship and, as he was unable to find a teaching post, he accepted a position as technical assistant in the Swiss Patent Office. In 1905 he obtained his doctor's degree.

During his stay at the Patent Office, and in his spare time, he produced much of his remarkable work and in 1908 he was appointed Privatdozent in Berne. In 1909 he became Professor Extraordinary at Zurich, in 1911 Professor of Theoretical Physics at Prague, returning to Zurich in the following year to fill a similar post. In 1914 he was appointed Director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Physical Institute and Professor in the University of Berlin. He became a German citizen in 1914 and remained in Berlin until 1933 when he renounced his citizenship for political reasons and emigrated to America to take the position of Professor of Theoretical Physics at Princeton*. He became a United States citizen in 1940 and retired from his post in 1945.

After World War II, Einstein was a leading figure in the World Government Movement, he was offered the Presidency of the State of Israel, which he declined, and he collaborated with Dr. Chaim Weizmann in establishing the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Einstein always appeared to have a clear view of the problems of physics and the determination to solve them. He had a strategy of his own and was able to visualize the main stages on the way to his goal. He regarded his major achievements as mere stepping-stones for the next advance.

At the start of his scientific work, Einstein realized the inadequacies of Newtonian mechanics and his special theory of relativity stemmed from an attempt to reconcile the laws of mechanics with the laws of the electromagnetic field. He dealt with classical problems of statistical mechanics and problems in which they were merged with quantum theory: this led to an explanation of the Brownian movement of molecules. He investigated the thermal properties of light with a low radiation density and his observations laid the foundation of the photon theory of light.

In his early days in Berlin, Einstein postulated that the correct interpretation of the special theory of relativity must also furnish a theory of gravitation and in 1916 he published his paper on the general theory of relativity. During this time he also contributed to the problems of the theory of radiation and statistical mechanics.

In the 1920's, Einstein embarked on the construction of unified field theories, although he continued to work on the probabilistic interpretation of quantum theory, and he persevered with this work in America. He contributed to statistical mechanics by his development of the quantum theory of a monatomic gas and he has also accomplished valuable work in connection with atomic transition probabilities and relativistic cosmology.

After his retirement he continued to work towards the unification of the basic concepts of physics, taking the opposite approach, geometrisation, to the majority of physicists.

Einstein's researches are, of course, well chronicled and his more important works include Special Theory of Relativity (1905), Relativity (English translations, 1920 and 1950), General Theory of Relativity (1916), Investigations on Theory of Brownian Movement (1926), and The Evolution of Physics (1938). Among his non-scientific works, About Zionism (1930), Why War? (1933), My Philosophy (1934), and Out of My Later Years (1950) are perhaps the most important.

Albert Einstein received honorary doctorate degrees in science, medicine and philosophy from many European and American universities. During the 1920's he lectured in Europe, America and the Far East and he was awarded Fellowships or Memberships of all the leading scientific academies throughout the world. He gained numerous awards in recognition of his work, including the Copley Medal of the Royal Society of London in 1925, and the Franklin Medal of the Franklin Institute in 1935.

Einstein's gifts inevitably resulted in his dwelling much in intellectual solitude and, for relaxation, music played an important part in his life. He married Mileva Maric in 1903 and they had a daughter and two sons; their marriage was dissolved in 1919 and in the same year he married his cousin, Elsa Löwenthal, who died in 1936. He died on April 18, 1955 at Princeton, New Jersey.

Bathara Ghana utawa Ganesa iku putrane Bathara Guru lan Dewi Uma Parwati. Bathara Ghana arupa gajah raseksa. Nalika Sanghyang Manikmaya mbangun tapa utawa mesubrata, tapane cabar amarga dipanah dening Bathara Kamajaya nggunakake panah kembang Pancawisaya, panah pralambang asmara.

Bathara Guru banjur bali menyang kayangane. Sanghyang Manikmaya mbangun tapa amarga prihatin mikirake Suralaya kang ana ing bebaya amarga dirabasa dening raja raseksa jejuluk Prabu Nilarudraka saka nagara Glugutinatar. Sedyane Nilarudraka kepengin nglamar widadari Suralaya, Dewi Gagarmayang.

Sejatine wus akeh dewa lan pehak liya kang aweh pepeling lan pituduh marang Nilarudraka, ananging dheweke tetep ora gelem murungake sedyane nglamar Dewi Gagarmayang. Dheweke terus ngrabasa, ngrusak lan gawe dredah ing Suralaya nganti pepenginane bisa kasembadan.

Sanghyang Manikmaya banjur mbangun tapa supaya bisa peputra maneh, putra kang nimpuna babagan aweh wewulang. Nalika ngrabasa Suralaya, Prabu Nilarudraka ngepyakake kabeh wadya balane kang numpak gajah.

Kanggo nandhingi, Bathara Guru mrentahake para senapati perang kadewatan supaya mbangun kekuwatan kanthi wadyabala kang uga numpak gajah. Sawise kabeh sumadya, Bathara Guru sedya nitipriksa barisane wadyabala Suralaya kang numpak gajah sing ditindhihi dening Bathara Indra lan Dewi Uma.

Bathara Indra nyaket marang Bathara Guru lan prameswarine kanthi numpak gajah Erawana. Bathara Indra siyaga nampa dhawuh pungkasan saka Sanghyang Manikmaya. Erawana iku gajah kang beda dhewe wujud lan rupane, sarta duwe perbawa kang nggegirisi lan medeni tumrap sapa wae kang mindeng.
Dewi Uma dhewe sawise weruh wujude gajah Erawana dadi keweden lan mlayu lumebu ing Panariwawarna. Nalika iku Dewi Uma nembe ngandhut jabang bayi. Dayane rasa kaweden iku kawujud nalika nglairake jabang bayi. Jabang bayi kang lair saka guwa garbane pranyata bayi kang praupane awujud gajah. Bayi kasebut banjur dijenengi Ganesa.

Miturut andharan ing buku Ensiklopedi Wayang Purwa, weton Balai Pustaka, Ganesa sabanjure digawa menyang glanggang paprangan lan diadhepake marang Prabu Nilarudraka.

Pranyata Ganesa kasil merjaya lan nyirnakake raja Glugutinatar kasebut. Ewadene wadyabalane bisa ditumpes dening barisan prajurit kadewatan numpak gajah kang ditindhihi dening Bathara Indra minangka senapati perang.

Crita mangkono iku diandharake ing Purwacarita kang njupuk saka Serat Smaradahana anggitane Empu Dharmaja. Sajrone uripe, Bathara Ganesa duwe jejibahan aweh wewulang sakehing ngelmu marang umat Tribuwana.

Pawadan iku, Bathara Ganesha pinundhi-pundhi minangka pralambang sumber sakabehing ngelmu. Bathara Ganesa mujudake dewane ngelmu. Sawise kasil numpes Prabu Nilarudraka, negara Glugutinatar diparingake marang Bathara Ghana.

Sawijining dina Bathara Ghana mbangun tapa kang salah siji panjaluke supaya dheweke diruwat murih praupane dadi bagus. Upayane Bathara Ghana kasil sawise dheweke bisa nyirnakake mungsuhe dewa yaiku raja raseksa Gilingaya, Prabu Kala Iramba.

Saka titahe Bathara Guru, Bathara Ghana malih dadi dewa kang bagus praupane lan banjur diparingi asma Bathara Mahadewa. Dheweke antuk kuwajiban njaga panti pustaka kayangan. Lan amarga kapinterane, Bathara Mahadewa sinengkakake minangka dewane ngelmu. Sedulure Bathara Ghana kang lair tunggal ibu yaiku Bathara Cakra lan Bathara Asmara.
