More about Physicist

Isaac Newton said that he stood on the shoulders of giants. Scientist build upon the knowledge and work of other scientist.  Yesterday we searched for famous physicist other than Newton. Today look back at yesterday's post and find some facts about  one of the scientist mentioned in yesterdays blog.

Well some facts about Michael Faraday include: Because of lack of money, he had to drop out of school at the age of 13 and had to run errands to make money, he discovered a chemical called benzene, and he largely worked as a chemist until 1830.

Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany on March 14, 1879. As a child, Einstein revealed an extraordinary curiosity for understanding the mysteries of science (started only at age 10/11). A typical child (only to his socio-economic class — educated middle class), Einstein took music lessons, playing both the violin and piano — a passion that followed him into adulthood. Moving first to Italy and then to Switzerland, the young prodigy graduated from high-school in 1896.

Mary Anning was a paleontologist (which deals with fossils and stuff like that.) She was born in the late 1700's (1799) and lived until the mid 1800's (1847) She has been credited with finding the first ichthyosaur fossil. Ichthyosaur's Are a type of fish reptile that iek humans gave birth to life. They never have to leave the water, and they acted like the modern whales. Mary Anning wen ton to work with them probably until she died. Discovering many of the ichthyosaur family.

Einstein Failed his University Entrance Exam
In 1895, at the age of 17, Albert Einstein applied for early admission into the Swiss Federal Polytechnical School (Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule or ETH). He passed the math and science sections of the entrance exam, but failed the rest (history, languages, geography, etc.)! Einstein had to go to a trade school before he retook the exam and was finally admitted to ETH a year later.

Galileo was have said to drop two cannon balls of different masses from the leaning tower of Pisa to demonstrate that their speed of descent was independent of their mass. Many people believe this story to be untrue since its only source was Galileo’s secretary.

Galileo never married and had all his children out of wedlock with Marina Gambia, whom he met on a trip to Venice.

While many remember Galileo’s confrontation with the church, many forget that both his daughters joined the convent of San Matteo in Arcetri and remained there for the rest of their lives. Galileo even went as far as help out in the convent, repairing windows and making sure that the convent clock was in order.

Yesterday i chose Stephen Hawking. A cool fact about him is that he actually got mediocre scores in school, like C's and D's, sometimes a B. He was also guess to die at the age of 22-25, yet he is still living today. He also make children books to get kids amped up for school.

He was basically a Theoretical Physicist that won many awards.

24 May 1544 – 30 November 1603), also known as Gilberd, was an English physician, physicist and natural philosopher. He passionately rejected both the prevailing Aristotelian philosophy and the Scholastic method of university teaching. He is remembered today largely for his book De Magnete (1600), and is credited as one of the originators of the term "electricity". He is regarded by some as the father of electrical engineering or electricity and magnetism.[1] While today he is generally referred to as William Gilbert, he also went under the name of William Gilberd. The latter was used in his and his father's epitaph, the records of the town of Colchester, and in the Biographical Memoir in De Magnete, as well as in the name of The Gilberd School in Colchester.

A unit of magnetomotive force, also known as magnetic potential, was named the gilbert in his honour.
