1785. Coulomb hangs a needle from a silver wire so fine that one degree of twist measures a force of a few billionths of a newton, and finds that the force between charges falls with the square of the distance. Franklin's rod came first.

1746. Pieter van Musschenbroek charges the water in a glass jar and touches the wire. The shock is so violent he writes that he would not take it again for the kingdom of France. The Leyden jar: the first device to store electricity.

1600. William Gilbert carves a lodestone into a sphere, moves a small needle over it and watches it dip exactly as compass needles dip at sea. The Earth is a magnet. Six hundred pages of experiments: De Magnete, the first modern book of physics.

1861. Maxwell works out how fast a disturbance travels through his model of empty space: 310,740 km/s, a number two Germans had measured five years earlier with a Leyden jar and a magnetic needle. Fizeau's speed of light: 314,858 km/s.

He threw the gold sovereigns into the snow and kept the twelve-pound banjo. He crossed 800 miles of ocean in a 22-foot boat, then climbed uncharted mountains with screws in his boots. The station manager asked who he was. His name was Shackleton.

Happy birthday Canadian scientist/writer Ursula Franklin (1921 – 2016), thinker on role of tech in society, advocate for women in STEM, peace & social justice. Her research interests were guided by her principles, including gathering evidence of the harmful health effects of radiation from atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons or her work on political & societal impacts of support of tech & its use.

My dear buddy Ricardo Padrón's (@[email protected]) first book (he also has a second one! More in thread) makes a great pet toy - and more!
Also, feel free to comment and share if you'd like Ricardo to hang out here more. #Renaissance scholars who know him know...

She was invited to preach at nearby cathedrals including at Cologne, Mainz & Worms. She was so respected & renown that at age 80 she was able to simply defy the pope & he had to retract his instruction to excommunicate a man in her community.

Day 17 of #SciArtSeptember shape prompt is eyelet, so I thought of lace collars & chose to share astrophysicist Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin (1900-1979), who discovered that hydrogen and helium are the most common elements in the universe.
Born England, she won a scholarship to Newnham College at Cambridge in 1919 where she heard a lecture which changed her life. She wrote, “My world had been so shaken that I 🧵
