it was Galileo who observed that the earth orbit the sun and not the other way

Actually, Aristachus (if i got his name correctly...) Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo were all on the same page, Galileo was just fortunate enough to own a Telescope.

theunnamed:
Op, this story's Galileo's
hr was even placed under house arrest for the rest of his life.

which of them?

Nneperp:
Biko Are they humans?

lol, yes...why do you ask?

paranorman:
IGNAZ almost made me cry..!

yea..i know that feeling...

Tedpgrass:
Good work Hez...

Thank you Lala for putting this on FP

Much more educative than those other non-salubrious topics!!


.

thank you bro.

beey2:
Nice n inspiring info. Thanks @op

You welcome, don't forget to visit www.edscienceblog.com for more...
Your comments on the articles there would go a long way in my heart.

Ekakamba:
[size=15pt]Good one OP but must you guys beg before making FP? Mtcheeeew. .[/size]

From the science section? Yes..

gurunlocker:
Before opening the thread, I knew it will be ROBINHEZ

LOL... Really?

Geofavor:
I had already bought a new scratch card at the auditorium -- 1k . When I got into the screening hall, however, they told us to scratch it ourselves. They collected from the guys before me, checked their results, and returned back their cards. So, I just pocketed my fresh scratchcard and brought out my paper result-checker. The screening official collected it, checked it ONCE (just as I had rigorously calculated ), noded okay and returned it to me.

So, now I have a new scratchcard at my disposal.

This is new development o, you guys weren't harassed during clearance.. Like you guys didn't have to stand in a queue for 4 hours straight...

God is wonderful to you guys.

*modified *


Wait, u said screening officers... You guys didn't by any chance see any professor?

kaayposh:
Thanks for the info op. At least I have learnt something meaningful today

Cc lalasticlala fp

Khd95:
That avogrado head tho

e be like arsenal logo

Hahaha... Wait to be gunned down.

You welcome bro.

Geofavor:
Thank you.

I have just done mine. Robinhez and venus007, ifa hear sey I no use that plain paper containing pin and serial number.

This is really the end times..

Rhukie:
@robinhez, please can fairly used items such as clothing be sold on this platforms

No ma'am

They look so cute together... Right from their youth.


Michelle's future has always been bright...

Lalasticlala help move this to the promised land... Thanks.

They say you know a person's worth when he's gone, this statement applies to the men in the article, their works were only appreciated, years after they died.

1. GREGOR JOHAN MENDEL
[img]http://3.bp..com/-TV-fSjSJ7Ys/V9uqwr3gKzI/AAAAAAAABV0/xtq84hKInxoa9lULNuFi9HRRsewmar52QCLcB/s1600/118096-004-547374A3.jpg[/img]

An austrian-born scientist whose experiments gave birth to the laws of inheritance as we know it. Growing up, Johan struggled with his education due to illness and financial constraints. He became a Friar and took on the name Gregor so he wouldn't have to pay for his education.
while serving as a monk, Mendel started conducting experiments with pea plants to study seven major traits of plants.
From the results of his experiment, he proposed the Law of Segregation and the Law of Independent Assortment
A study that took 7 years and about 28,000 plants was criticized greatly as biologists at that time held on to the theories of blending inheritance which is now obsolete.
well, it wasn't until 1900, 16 years after his death that three different researchers, each from a different county, published their work which proved that Mendel was right after-all.

2. IGNAZ PHILIPP SEMMELWEIS

An hungarian Doctor, pioneer of Antiseptic procedures, ''savior of mothers'' . . . sadly, these titles were attributed to him, after his death.
Semmelweis worked in a clinic were the mortality rate was high in comparison to a second clinic in the area due to puerperal fever that was rampant at that time.
Comparing the working conditions of the two hospitals, Semmelweis discovered that the difference between the two clinic was that, while the hospital he worked in involved doctors carrying out Autopsy, the other clinic was for midwives only. And due to the death of his friend who was accidentally poked with a student's scalpel, Semmelweis was able to conclude that the high mortality rate was due to Contaminations from the doctors.
He then made a policy that student doctors wash their hand with chlorinated lime after autopsy work and before examination of patients. The result was a 90% drop in the mortality rate in the clinic.
Unfortunatey, Semmelweis's hypothesis that the only cause of the puerperal fever was uncleanliness on the part of the medical practitioners was both rejected and ridiculed at the same time. Infact, some doctors took offence at the suggestion to wash their hands and Semmelweis was consequently dismissed from the hospital for political reasons, and with harrassment from the medical community in Vienna he was forced to move out to Budapest.
Semmelweis began to write open letters against the doctors of his time, calling them 'irresponsible murderers'. His wife and other friends thought he was running mad and so they took him to Assylum where he died 14 days later (possibly as a result of severe beating from the guards)
Semmelweis's findings where later accepted after Louis Pasteur developed the germ theory of disease which explained all Semmelweis had been saying.

3. JOHANNES KEPLER

[img]http://2.bp..com/-GGpF0Zndb3Y/V9vUdB3oFZI/AAAAAAAABWU/pAPy8-et1SUwW8mijTp3nyNQTsjD82RxgCLcB/s1600/Nikolaus_Kopernikus.jpg[/img]

A mathematician and Astronomer, he proposed an heliocentric solar system. Kepler found it difficult to convince people in his era that the sun, and not the earth, was at the centre of the solar system.
This rejection was due to religious beliefs by the Church at that time, and also, partly due to common sense- the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, surely, it goes round the earth.
well, Kepler made further progress on Copernicus's work, but it wasn't until decades after his death that his work formed part of the bases on which Sir Isaac Newton proposed his laws of gravitation.



4. AMEDEO AVOGADRO

We all probably know Avogadro's law which states that equal volumes of different gases contain an equal number of molecules, provided temperature and pressure are kept constant.
This observation was published by Avogadro while he was working as a physics teacher at the college of Vercelli. As a result, he became the first scientist to realize that elements could exist as molecules.
Avogadro's work, unfortunately, was ignored until 4 years after his death when another Scientist Stanislao Cannizarro presented them at a conference which was called to look into some scientific confusion at that time.
Even after the presentation, it took a decade for scientists to totally agree with it. Now Avogadro is a force to be reckoned with in Chemistry.

... sure I will, after I have rearranged her Dental formula.

neoapocalypse:
Your chart says the fastest route and not the only route , even in your map it can be seen that one can cross from Egypt to Turkey by land and then on to other countries.

you mean he rode a bicycle through Syria?


dude, google is not a fool.

saintruky:
I've had to lose and saw te fan isnt there. I was there when the engineer opened the laptop. The engineer is my childhood friend and he too bought same laptop from jumia

I'm so sorry about that. But there's nothing jumia can do as its no longer under warranty.

Buy a fan to put in.

Walahai they have lock dah one brain inside bottle...

Zuckerberg is long gone... But the jealousy he planted lives on.

The other day, it was Omotola angry cuz Zuckerberg didn't meet her...

kayo80:
How did his bicycle cross over water?

That's why I showed the chart... It clearly states "you need a ferry"

Why all these superficial talk... Just tell the world what went down! Or keep bloggers busy with speculations...

Geofavor:
Boybreezy, have you been screened?

So, uniben are just attending to those scheduled for twelve noon, yesterday.


Who else is scheduled for 12 noon today?

LOL... It has begun.

Thisis2raw:
mark Zuckerberg really mean business. I pray to God for this own type of intelligence

It's in you.

Just set your priorities.

I plotted the chart using google maps...

Google specifically states he needed a ferry for the journey.

how does this change the fact that Uniben is resuming on the 7th of October and not on the 26th of this month

smh...

looks like a Geyser to me...
and op, the soundtrack of that video was totally unecessary

anybody can have these traits...it doesn't have to be geeks.
