1. Edison
Edison has been curious about many things since he was a child, and he likes to experiment with himself until he understands the truth. When he grew up, he devoted himself to research and invention based on his interests in this area. He established a laboratory in New Jersey and invented more than two thousand things in his lifetime, including the electric light, the telegraph, the phonograph, the movie player, the magnetic separator, the crusher, and so on. Edison's strong research spirit enabled him to make significant contributions to improving human life style.
2. Boyle
Boyle was not particularly smart in his childhood, and he had a stutter in his speech. He did not like lively games, but he was very studious and liked to play quietly. Read and think. He received a good education from an early age and traveled to Europe from 1639 to 1644. During this period, he read many natural science books, including the famous "Dialogue Concerning the Two World Systems" by the astronomer and physicist Galileo Galilei. This book made a deep impression on him. His later famous book "The Skeptical Chemist" was written in imitation of this book.
3. Marie Curie
Marie Curie was a French-Polish scientist who studied radioactive phenomena and won the Nobel Prize twice in her life. Mary has been very diligent and hard-working since she was a child. She has a strong interest and special hobby in learning. She never misses any learning opportunity easily and shows a tenacious and enterprising spirit everywhere. At the age of 15, he graduated from middle school with a gold medal for outstanding results.
At the age of 19, she began to work as a long-term tutor and also studied various subjects by herself; at the age of 24, she came to study at the Faculty of Science of the University of Paris. Two years after enrolling, she took the physics bachelor's degree exam with confidence and ranked first among 30 candidates. The next year, she obtained a bachelor's degree in mathematics with second place honors.
4. Watt
Watt was born in England. Due to his poor family, he had no chance to go to school. He first worked as an apprentice in a watch shop, and then worked as an instrument repairman at the University of Glasgow. In 1764, the University of Glasgow received a Newcomen steam engine that required repairs, and the task was assigned to Watt. After Watt repaired it, he felt that he was not satisfied with the working method of the steam engine. After unremitting efforts, he finally designed a condenser that was separate from the cylinder. This increased the thermal efficiency three times and used only a quarter of the original coal. one.
In 1784, Watt's steam engine was equipped with a crankshaft and flywheel. The piston could be continuously pushed by steam coming in from both sides. There was no need for manpower to adjust the valve. The world's first real steam engine was born.
5. Nobel
Nobel was influenced by his father and often went to experiment with explosives with his father. After many years of studying explosives with his father, his interest soon turned to applied chemistry. In the summer of 1862, he began research on nitroglycerin. Due to an accident, the government did not allow Nobel to conduct experiments in the city.
Nobel was unyielding and moved his laboratory to a boat in a lake on the outskirts of the city to continue his experiments. After long-term research, he finally discovered a substance that is very easy to cause explosions - mercury fulminate, and successfully solved the problem of detonating explosives. This was the invention of the detonator. It is a major breakthrough on the road to Nobel science. Nobel made many inventions in his life, and received 255 patents, including 129 types of explosives alone. Even when he was dying, he still couldn't forget his research on new explosives.
1. Newton
Sir Isaac Newton (January 4, 1643 - March 31, 1727), President of the Royal Society, and a famous British physicist He is an encyclopedic "all-rounder" and the author of "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" and "Optics".
In his paper "Laws of Nature" published in 1687, he described universal gravitation and the three laws of motion. These descriptions established the scientific view of the physical world for the next three centuries and became the basis of modern engineering.
By demonstrating the consistency between Kepler's laws of planetary motion and his theory of gravity, he showed that the motions of ground objects and celestial bodies follow the same natural laws; he provided strong theoretical support for the heliocentric theory and promoted the Scientific revolution.
Once, Newton was doing experiments in his studio. The meal time had long passed, but he hadn't eaten yet.
Newton's assistant, the person who helped Newton work, thought to himself: This Newton must have forgotten to eat. He took a few eggs, sent them to the studio, and said softly next to Newton's ear:
"Look, you haven't eaten yet. There are a few eggs here, cook them yourself." Boil it and eat it."
"Ah, thank you, please leave the eggs!" Newton was still doing experiments.
I don’t know how much time passed, but Newton felt his stomach growling, and then he remembered that he hadn’t eaten yet. He picked up a small stick and, um, boiled the eggs and ate them.
He tied the small pot to the stove, started doing the experiment again, and finished it.
"Well, it's time for the eggs to be cooked!" Newton opened the lid and took a look, oh, what's going on? There was not an egg in the pot, but a watch was boiling.
Is this a magic trick? no. Newton looked up and saw that the egg was placed on the table, but the watch he placed on the table was missing. Ah, ah, it turns out that Newton was concentrating on doing experiments, and he grabbed the watch as an egg and put it in a small pot to cook.
2. Edison
Thomas Alva Edison (February 11, 1847 - October 18, 1931), was born in Milan, Ohio, USA , died in West Orange, New Jersey, USA. Inventor, entrepreneur.
One day, when my mother was busy in the kitchen, Edison ran over as if he had made a surprising discovery. He opened his eyes and asked, "Mom, that hen in our house is really strange. It puts the eggs in Sitting under her butt, why?" Mom laughed. She put down what she was doing and said to Edison seriously: "The mother chicken is hatching babies! After she warms those eggs, there will be babies. The chicken crawled out. Look at our fluffy chicks. They were all warmed by the mother chicken. "Little Edison felt it was really amazing after hearing this. He thought seriously for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Is it possible to warm the chicks by putting the egg under your butt?" "Yes, that's what it is!" Mom smiled and nodded. When the meal was ready, the mother suddenly found that little Edison was missing and could not be found anywhere. The mother was anxious and shouted her son's name loudly. At this time, I heard his voice of agreement coming from the warehouse. My mother felt it was strange. When she went over to take a look, it turned out that Edison had made a "nest" there with many eggs in it. He was squatting above it solemnly. Mom was even more surprised and asked: "What are you doing?" Edison said: "Mom, don't you understand? I am hatching chicks!"
