Einstein Died

[Pinemarten]

I guess today is the anniversity of his death.

Please go way off topic; because anything on topic has been discussed many times.

Why doesn't anyone else adopt Einstein's hair style?

I tried, but my hair just wouldn't do that. Maybe if I tried increasing the voltage ...

No, I think it was three days ago.

What about Doc in Back To the Future?

[mugaliens]

Out of deference to the man himself.

Except Yahoo Serious, of course, who played Young Einstein, the discoverer of the beer molecule...

um... it was the beer atom... and Marie Curie was a BABE

and y'all haven't seen *my* hair in the morning.

Remember, Einstein died for your sins!

No, I think it was three days ago.What about Doc in Back To the Future?

Sorry, I got my paper 2 days late.
I share the cost with a neighbour, and we take turns getting the 'fresh' one.
I thought it was the 'fresh' one, but she didn't have time to read it so I got it in mint shape and assumed it was yesterday's.

[JohnD]

PM,
Try ironing the paper!
Old butler's trick - makes yesterday's paper feel new again.
John

[Pinemarten]

Sure, rub it in!

Could someone please post a link to the thread that should have started on the actual date so I can pay my respects?

« La journée des femmes »

Marie Curiehttp://www.chrvs.be/chrvs/Actualités...mme/Curie1.jpg
A Nobel Prize Pioneer at the Panthéon

To the fatherland's great men, in gratitude." Prior to April 21, 1995, the famous inscription on the Panthéon's ornamental front really had to be taken literally. Indeed, the crypt, where some of the nation's most distinguished personalities lay buried, did not include a single woman, that is to say a woman honoured on her own merits*. It is an injustice which President François Mitterrand sought to put right by transferring to the Panthéon the ashes of the physicist and chemist Marie Curie, and those of her husband. Besides conferring the added value of "beings" to the term "men", this gesture enabled the nation to honour a foreigner for her contribution to the prestige of French scientific research.

From the scientific dream...

In her pioneering way, Marie Curie decided, in 1897, to take a physics doctorate. Henri Becquerel, who was studying X-rays, had recently observed that uranium salt left an impression on a photographic plate in spite of its protective envelope. What better subject could there have been for Marie than to try and understand the effect, the energy of these uranic rays? Pierre consented. And so his frail wife set about her work, handling tons of minerals; she noted that another substance, thorium, was "radioactive", a term she herself had coined. Together, they demonstrated in a major discovery that radioactivity was not the result of a chemical reaction but a property of the element or, more specifically, of the atom. Marie then studied pitchblende, a uranic mineral in which she measured a much more intense activity than is present in uranium alone. She deduced that there were other substances besides uranium that were very radioactive, such as polonium and radium, which she discovered in 1898.

In their experiments, Pierre observed the properties of the radiation while Marie, for her part, purified the radioactive elements. Both shared the same, uncanny tenacity, which was all the more admirable given their deplorable living conditions. Their laboratory was nothing more than a miserable hangar, where in winter the temperature dropped to around six degrees. One chemist commented that "it looked more like a stable or a potato cellar". And yet, Marie admitted that "one of our pleasures was to enter our workshop at night; then, all around us, we would see the luminous silhouettes of the beakers and capsules that contained our products". Despite their difficulty at obtaining any advances or loans, Marie and Pierre Curie refused to file a patent application that would have secured them financially; in their eyes, enabling any scientist, French or foreign, to find applications for radioactivity took priority.

"it looked more like a stable or a potato cellar". And yet, Marie admitted that "one of our pleasures was to enter our workshop at night; then, all around us, we would see the luminous silhouettes of the beakers and capsules .." Wow!! .. The magic silhouettes ..the elements ..It must have been beautiful to see them dance ..as this dance <<..super beautiful modern dance >>

Einstein is DEAD? Why doesn't anybody ever tell me these things?

Sounds like a good thread for South East, then.

[mugaliens]

um... it was the beer atom... and Marie Curie was a BABE!

Ok, so she was a babe. It was probably that glow she had about her...

Being French helped too, I'm sure.

[snowcelt]

If Einstein had a time machine he would have come back and stopped it. Then he would have come back and made it. Then he would have come back; and, after some review, invented Bohr.

[Maksutov]

He did?

I could have sworn I heard about that back in 1955.

YES! but only in THIS universe......

Polish. Although for some strange reason she had a French accent in the movie. Although maybe she learned English from a French speaker and so ended up speaking English with a French accent and French with a Polish accent and Polish with a Polish accent.

[JohnD]

Mugaliens,
Marie Curie was POLISH.
Born Maria Skłodowska, married Pierre Curie after moving to France to pursue her studies, as females were unwelcome in Polish universities. Poland's loss - she was the first woman in France to achieve a doctorate, first female Nobellian. Why she is not a feminist icon I don't know, but they ignore her.

[HenrikOlsen]

From what I remember, French was the second language to learn in Poland at the time, so if she had a French accent it would be because she learned French first, and possibly didn't learn English until after moving to France.

Well, stepping up on the political soap box - sticking my neck out... it's because she was smart and not interested in man-bashing.

[Gillianren]

Oh, for heaven's sake. It's because she wasn't terribly interested in improving conditions for all women, just in doing her own work. Not that there's anything wrong with putting science before politics; not everyone has to. But the other issue you get into is the divide between feminism and the anti-nuke crowd, and you must admit, Marie Curie had a lot to do with eventual nuclear proliferation, if not directly.

Isn't that what I said?

and there's a divide between Feminism and the women who are actually working to make improvements in the environment for women (it's a differentiation my mother taught me. go figure) That's to what I was alluding.

I disagree. I think instead that there are several varieties of feminism, just as there are in any movement.

Is there a variety that is completely mute, and can't type either?

[hhEb09'1]

Several types, but at this point I think that is moot

[Ronald Brak]

In many parts of the Middle-East and Africa where violence is used to silence people who fight for equal rights, for example.

He is ???

When did he died?



Im soo late for this news.

[NEOWatcher]

Why doesn't anyone else adopt Einstein's hair style?

I don't think it's one that really gets adopted, it just happens... My ancestry has that kind of hair. In old age, it's still thick, not straight, hard to manage, and takes a light breeze to destroy any advances made by a brush.

Doc in Back To the Future?

Sorry; but Hollywood making the appearence of a scientist doesn't count since Einstein is the model.

And; this thread title reminds me to practice on my "I" before "E" rules.
My Neighbor Einstein the Scientist Died.
