Madame curie. Einstein.

On Christmas Eve 1642, Newton was born in a peasant family in Walthorpe, Lincolnshire, England. Newton was a premature baby, weighing only 3 pounds at birth. Both the midwife and his parents were worried about whether he would survive.
No one could have imagined that this seemingly insignificant little thing would become a giant of science that would rise to the age of 85.
Newton's father died three months before he was born. When he was two years old, his mother remarried. Newton was raised by his maternal grandmother.
When he was 11 years old, his mother's step-husband died, and Newton returned to his mother. Beginning at about the age of 5, Newton was sent to public school and entered secondary school at the age of 12. As a teenager, Newton was not a child prodigy, he had average qualifications and grades, but he loved to read, and he liked to read books that introduced various simple mechanical model making methods, and was inspired to make his own strange gadgets, such as windmills, wooden clocks, folding lanterns, and so on.
A windmill was being built near the apothecary's house, and Newton Jr. built a small windmill himself after understanding the mechanics of the windmill. It is not the wind that drives his windmill, but the animals. He tied the mouse to a treadmill with wheels, and placed a grain of corn in front of the wheel, just in a place where the mouse could not reach.
The rat wanted to eat the corn, so it kept running, so the wheel kept turning. He also made a small water clock. Every morning, the little water will automatically drip water onto his face, urging him to get out of bed.
Later, forced to live, his mother suspended Newton from school to work in the family farm. But Newton was not interested in farming, and buried himself in books whenever he had the opportunity. Every time his mother asked him to go to the market with her servant to familiarize himself with the trade, he begged the servant to go out into the street alone while he hid behind a bush and read.
Once, when Newton's uncle became suspicious, he followed Newton to the town, and found his nephew lying on the grass with his legs outstretched, concentrating on a mathematical problem. Newton's studious spirit moved his uncle, who persuaded his mother to let Newton return to school. Newton went back to school, hungry for the nourishment of his books.

1. Nie Li discovered that bees do not make sounds by vibrating their wings.
The bee pronunciation relies on the vibration of the wings This biological "common sense", which is included in China's primary school textbooks, was overturned by an experiment by a 12-year-old elementary school student named Nie Li. Nie Li's ** "Bees Don't Rely on Wing Vibrating to Make Sounds" won the silver medal of the National Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition and the Coats Science Popularization Special Award.
This scientific discovery was made by a 12-year-old elementary school student, and it is truly commendable! The mysteries of nature that countless biologists have not discovered, little Nie Li has discovered. The "verdict" from the book, which was not doubted by adults, was overturned by Nie Li.
According to the People** report, Nie Li's discovery process was not complicated: she first stumbled upon bees with non-vibrating wings (or with their wings cut off) still buzzing, then observed them with a magnifying glass for more than a month, and finally found the bee's vocal organs.
As with many major scientific discoveries, the discovery process itself may not be tortuous, but the key is whether the discoverer has the courage to question the "conclusive" and challenge the authority of science. The deviant and skeptical spirit embodied in Nie Li is more valuable than the discovery of "the vocal organ of the bee" itself.
2. Fresnel was awarded the prize by the French Academy of Sciences.
Fresnel, as an unknown little person in the scientific community, dared to challenge and finally won the award from the French Academy of Sciences. His award is of course based on his achievements, but without the scientific spirit of questioning, even if he makes a discovery, he may be obliterated in the countryside and lose his name for a lifetime.
From this point of view, only with the courage to question can we make great achievements in our own research fields and contribute to the progress of human society.

The story of Newton and Apple.
For a long time, Newton believed that there must be a mysterious force that pulls the planets in the solar system around the sun. But what kind of force is this?
Until one day, when Newton was thinking under an apple tree in the garden, and an apple fell at his feet, Newton finally had an epiphany, and his problem was gradually solved.
Legend has it that in the autumn of 1665, Newton sat under an apple tree in his yard and pondered the reason for the planet's motion around the sun. At this moment, an apple happened to fall, and it landed at Newton's feet. This return to the core was a moment of discovery, and this time the Apple's whereabouts were different from countless previous Apple drops, and the state caught Newton's attention for it.
Newton found the reason for the fall of the apple from the natural phenomenon of the apple falling to the ground - the effect of gravity, this invisible force from the earth pulls the apple down, just as the earth pulls the moon and makes the moon move around the earth.
Albert Einstein (March 14, 1879 – April 18, 1955), a world-famous American scientist, was a Jew, the founder and founder of modern physics, the proposer of the theory of relativity - the "mass-energy relation", the defender of the "deterministic quantum mechanical interpretation" (vibrating particles) - God who does not roll dice. On December 26, 1999, Albert Einstein was selected as a "Great Man of the Century" by Time magazine in the United States. Newton, (25 December 1642 – 20 March 1727 in the Julian calendar, 4 January 1643 – 31 March 1727) was a great English mathematician, physicist, astronomer, and natural philosopher. >>>More
