There are many legends about outstanding scientists and inventors, emphasizing their eccentricity, unusual discoveries and unexpected twists and turns of fate. Below, in chronological order, are 10 of the lives of prominent scientists who, thanks to their discoveries and scientific achievements, have received worldwide fame.

The most interesting facts, legends, speculation and gossip

According to information recently "declassified" on the Christian Internet resource "Megaportal", a British scientist, the founder of the mathematical foundations of natural philosophy Isaac Newton(Isaac Newton) being deep a religious person devoted most of his life to the rational interpretation of the Bible. In the records relating to 1700, he gives a transcript of " Revelations of John the Evangelist”, from which it is clear that the date of the beginning of the Apocalypse is 2060. Having studied the Old Testament, the scientist restored the exact dimensions of the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem.

Around the same time, the German alchemist Hennig Brand(Hennig Brand), like most of his "colleagues in the shop", was looking for philosopher's stone. He used human urine as the starting material. After numerous chemical experiments and physical effects in the form of evaporation, calcination and grinding, the scientist obtained a white powder that glows in the dark, which today is explained by the content of phosphorus in it, the concentration of which was significantly increased during chemical transformations. Brand dubbed him "the light-bearer" and, deciding that the powder belongs to the primary matter, he tried to transform it into gold. After nothing came of this idea, the scientist began to trade in the powder itself, selling the luminous substance at a much higher price than the gold-bearing one. An equally interesting story is connected with phosphorus, which happened to the Soviet chemist, academician Semyon Isaakovich Vol'fkovich. Creating phosphate mineral fertilizers, the scientist in his laboratory was exposed to phosphorus fumes, which soaked his clothes, raincoat and hat. When he returned home on foot, taking exercise through the dark streets, a glow emanated from his robes, which gave rise to rumors among Muscovites about the appearance of a "luminous monk."

Russian academician Mikhailo Vasilievich Lomonosov, who came from Pomor fishermen, was distinguished by fair health and physical strength. Already in adulthood, being in high academic ranks, he, in a good drink, walked around Vasilyevsky Island. He met three sailors who, seeing a drunken man, decided to rob him. However, this attempt ended tragicomically - the first sailor was beaten unconscious, the second ran away, and the third pundit himself decided to rob. He took off the sailor's ports, jacket and camisole, and then, tying all this ammunition into a bundle, he took it to his home. After the death of Mikhail Lomonosov, all his lifetime notes, sketches and drawings mysteriously disappeared from the library of the former favorite of Catherine the Great, Grigory Orlov, where they were kept by the highest command.

Few people know that the English traveler, ornithologist and naturalist Charles Darwin(Charles Darwin) one of the methods of studying birds considered them to be tasted. Joining the London gourmet club, Darwin ate dishes prepared from the great marsh bittern, sparrowhawk and other inedible and inedible birds, as a result of which the ornithologist came to the conclusion that Robinson Crusoe was not afraid of starvation. However, after the guests were treated to a roast of an old owl in the club, the scientist vomited for a long time, and he ceased his membership in the gourmet society. But C. Darwin did not lose his addiction to exotic dishes and described in great detail the taste sensations when eating dishes from rare animals that the ship's cook prepared for him while sailing on the Beagle brig. He not only ate variously prepared dishes of agouti, Galapagos tortoise and rhea ostrich, but also ventured to taste a roast of armadillo and South American mountain lion - cougar. Summarizing his gourmet experience, Charles Darwin noted that the variety of meat dishes prepared from the most unusual animals and birds awakened in him the instincts of a predator.

The world's first female professor of mathematics Sofia Vasilievna Kovalevskaya dreamed of getting higher education, but the Bestuzhev courses that existed in Russia in those years did not provide such an opportunity, and to study abroad at universities in Europe, written permission from the father or husband was required. Her father, lieutenant general of artillery, considered higher education "not a woman's business" and was categorically against her daughter's foreign voyage. Sophia Korvin-Krukovskaya was forced to enter into a fictitious marriage with a young geologist, the founder of the school of evolutionary paleontology, Vladimir Onufrievich Kovalevsky. The husband graciously gave permission to study. However, the fictitiousness of marriage did not prevent the birth and development of tender feelings, and the couple had a daughter, Sophia.

Receiving primary education, deeply religious Albert Einstein(Albert Einstein) became famous among teachers and classmates as a loser who was not given the exact sciences. However, after entering the gymnasium, he rethought his views by reading Euclidean's Elements and Kant's Critique pure mind". Unfortunately, this did not help him get a certificate of completion of six classes of the gymnasium and enter the Zurich Polytechnic School. Since then, Albert has treated any cramming with contempt, believing that knowledge is rethought and fixed in the brain with the help of some kind of “insight”. Apparently, these factors affected the attitude of the discoverer of the theory of relativity to teaching. As the scientist himself recalls with humor, by the end of his first lecture there were only three people left in the audience.

Professor at the University of Queensland (Brisbane, Australia) Thomas Parnell(Thomas Parnell) became widely known for staging the longest experiment in the history of physical chemistry. After repeated disputes about what bitumen is - a liquid or a solid, in 1927 the professor sealed a measured dose of coal tar pitch in a funnel. The first drop at room temperature fell after 8 years. The experiment continues to the present - in 2000, the eighth drop formed and fell, after which Parnell's experiment was entered in the Guinness Book of Records as the longest experiment in the history of physics, and the professor himself in 2005, posthumously, was awarded the Ig Nobel Prize. Contemporary scientists joked about T. Parnell that he, following in the footsteps of Isaac Newton, studying the Bible, determined the ambient temperature in hell, which is + 718 ° С.

Interesting facts from the life of physicists

Physicists became famous for the most interesting facts, statements and incidents in their lives.

After the discovery by the German physicist Wilhelm Roentgen(Wilhelm Röntgen) "X"-rays, later named after the inventor, Germany was filled with rumors about their healing and power. At that time W. Roentgen taught at the University of Vienna, and one day he received an order from the Austrian police with a prohibition "up to a special order" to deal with "X"-rays. Later, the scientist received a request to send several rays by mail and instructions on how to use them to illuminate the chest. Referring to the bulkiness of the equipment, Roentgen came out with a counter proposal - to send a chest for lung diagnostics.

British physicist Ernest Reserford(Ernest Rutherford) answered one of his envious, who reproached the scientist that the latter is always on the crest of a physical wave - "... how could it be otherwise, if I raised this wave."

Soviet physicist Lev Davidovich Landau He was known among his contemporaries not so much for his theoretical calculations in the field of quantum physics, but for the "theory of happiness" developed by him with his own hand. Marriage, he considered a cooperative, very far from true, sublime love, in which everything should be common and accessible to outsiders. True, the physicist extended this accessibility not so much to his wives and lovers, but to himself. The main postulate of this theory was the "non-aggression pact", which prohibited the jealousy of one of the spouses for the betrayal of the other.

These are 10 from the life of outstanding scientists who became famous not only for their eccentricities, outrageousness and originality of thinking, but also made a huge contribution to the development of science.

Man has been living on earth for so long that in the entire history of his existence, coincidences have become an integral part of the life of our family and they occur with enviable regularity. Most often, people take them for a divine plan, sometimes they simply do not pay attention. One way or another, but even scientists who are well versed in the theory of probability are surprised at the accidents that occur in our lives.

the site also admires some coincidences, for which you don’t want to look for explanations, so as not to spoil your impressions of interesting facts.

Coincidentally, the story greatest empire in the history of mankind began and ended thanks to people named Romulus.

2. Girl from Petrovka

In 1974, when the film "The Girl from Petrovka" was filmed, Anthony Hopkins, who played one of the main roles in this film, wanted to read the original book by George Feifer in order to form his idea of ​​​​the image of the hero. But it so happened that there was no book in any bookstore. Already desperate, Hopkins suddenly found a forgotten volume of the novel by someone right on a bench in the subway. The actor could not believe his luck.

Later, when the shooting of the film began, Hopkins met George Feifer, and the writer complained in a conversation that he himself did not have a copy of his own book. All because he lent it to his friend, and he lost it somewhere in the subway.

3. The curse of the family?

In Bermuda, in 1975, an incident occurred that still remains an example of a terrible coincidence, for which no one dares to explain. A young guy named Erskine Lawrence Abbin was driving down the road on his moped, but he was unexpectedly killed by a taxi. By itself, the accident would have come out quite ordinary, if not for one "but". About a year ago, in 1974, the guy's brother died on the same road. Moreover, he was hit on the same moped, by the same taxi driver, and according to rumors, the same passenger was sitting in the taxi.

4. Edgar Allan Poe and time travel

Edgar Allan Poe is considered one of the most mysterious writers. And some of the facts associated with it, really raise questions. For example, in one of his books called "The Tale of the Adventures of Arthur Gordon Pym" tells the story of four sailors who survived a shipwreck. The victims tried to survive at all costs, so they had to eat their cabin boy, whose name was Richard Parker. Moreover, Poe himself actively claimed that the book was based on real events.

The coincidence is that after as many as 46 years since the publication of the novel, a ship really sank on the high seas, part of the crew of which escaped. To survive, the sailors had to eat their young comrade, whose name was Richard Parker.

5. The first and last victims

By pure chance, these graves are located nearby, at a distance of only a few meters. In one of them is buried the first British soldier who died during the First World War, and in the other - the last. It wasn't planned.

6. Two presidents and many coincidences

As often happens, after the death of a celebrity in her life, they begin to look for all sorts of matches with others. historical events. US history buffs have found a few fun facts, which coincided in the biographies of two presidents: Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy.

For example, both presidents were shot in the back of the head on Friday, and both had their wives by their side at the time of their death. Also, each of the presidents had a friend, whose name was Bill Graham. Each had four children. On purpose or not, Kennedy hired a secretary into his administration whose last name was Lincoln, while Abraham Lincoln had a secretary named John.

7. Incredible accident

Car accidents are not uncommon these days. However, at the end of the 19th century, when almost no one had cars, no one could even think about collisions. However, in 1895 there was a car accident in America, which is due to one fact: at that time in Ohio, in which the cars collided, there were only two cars, and they somehow managed to find each other.

8 The Hoover Dam Curse

The Hoover Dam in the United States is world famous. This ingenious building has become one of the symbols of the fact that a person can somehow cope with nature. But few people know an interesting fact about this dam.
People died during the construction of the dam, and one of the first was a man named George Tierney, who died during construction work on December 20, 1922. The public was stirred up by the fact that the last person to die at the Hoover Dam was George's son Patrick Tierney, who also died on December 20.

9. The death of the Titanic was predicted in advance

Sometimes the coincidences are so frightening that superstitious people goosebumps run down the skin. This is what happened with the sinking of the Titanic. The fact is that in 1898 the writer Morgan Robertson released a work called "Futility", in which he described the death of a huge ship called "Titan". The coincidence would seem more accidental if not for other facts.

So, the writer described in detail the technical characteristics of his ship, and they miraculously turned out to be similar to the characteristics of the Titanic. The developers of both ships considered their ships unsinkable. Both ships collided with an iceberg in the northern part Atlantic Ocean. And on both ships, the passengers did not have enough boats to save them. The Titanic sank 14 years after the novel was published.
