It was a self -educated genius, as she made pioneering discoveries in the fields of physics and chemistry by breaking the world of science and laying the foundations for Albert Einstein Theory of relativity Almost a century.
Now, unknown laptops from Victorian scientist Michael Faradai It was discovered from the archive of the Royal Institution and is numbered and accessible permanently over the Internet for the first time.
The notebooks include handwritten notes from Faradai on a series of lectures given by the electrochemical pioneer. Sidi Humphrey Devi In the Royal Corporation in 1812. “None of these notebooks were seen or analyzed at any great depth,” said Charlotte New, head of the heritage of the Royal Foundation. “They are unknown to the public.”
Faradai, the son of Ahad Al -Haddada, left the school at the age of thirteen and was working as a parents ’priority for the trained book when he attended the lectures. He formulated very accurate notes and presented one of his books to Devi, hoping to get a job in Royal Foundation Despite its background of the working class and primitive education.
The notebooks shed light on the works of Faradai’s mind and revealed that he had made complex drawings to visualize the scientific experiences and principles that he was learning in the lectures. “It takes enough time to prepare his post and establish what is taught to him in his own understanding.” “He strongly clarifies his observations to understand the principle he has been taught to.” He even wrote an index for each notebook, as she said, only for his use and personal research. “This is at a time when taxes are imposed on paper. It shows how he really tries to understand science inside.”
When Faradai Davi gave the notebook, he expressed “his desire to escape trade, which I believed was selfish and selfish, and entered the service of science.”
Although Devi initially refused to help him, notes books – and Faraday himself – seemed to have left a good impression. Davi briefly wrote to Faradai to say that he is “far from frustration with the evidence that I provided to me about your confidence, which offers great enthusiasm and the strength of memory and attention.”
When a laboratory assistant entered the Foundation in a fight and was separated in February 1813, Davi Faradai, who was 22 years old and offered him a job-which included a wage reduction, but he gave the young man access to the laboratory, free coal, candles and two attic rooms.
Faradai later gave a description of this work offer: “At the same time he is [Davy] He highlighted me with scientific employment, as he advised me to stay from books books, and he told me that science was a harsh mistress … a bad reward for those who devoted themselves to serving them. “
Despite the advice of Devi, before Faraday, the job. It was a decision that might prove that he was semi -science. Over the next 55 years, while working in the Royal Institution, Faradai has discovered many basic laws of physics and chemistry – including Electromagnetic induction Law in 1831That illuminates the relative movement of charged molecules.
Thanks to Faradai’s experiments in the institution, the electromagnetic rotation was discovered in 1821, a penetration that led to the development of the electric motor and gasoline, a hydrocarbon derived from benzoic acid, in 1825. He became the first gases scientist in 1823, calling for an interest in 1831 and discovered in laws. Currency terms such as electrodes, cathode and ion. In 1845, after finding the first experimental evidence that the magnetic field could affect the polarized light – a phenomenon that has become known for the effect of Faradai – proved that the light and electromagnetic are interconnected.
Today, it is widely attributed that the Faraday Law in the introduction enables Einstein, who has maintained a framed image of Faraday on his wall, to develop his relative theory.
Throughout his career, Faradai continued to draw his devices in his books when making these pioneering discoveries. “It is something you start here, with these illustrations, and it will continue.”
A selection of the main pages of notebooks will be launched for the first time on the Royal Institute on the Internet on March 24, to distinguish 200 years since the annual Faraday founded Royal Foundation Christmas lectures.
Inspired by Davi’s conversations to practice a profession in science, Faradai created these lectures in 1825 in the hope of encouraging others in the same way. “He was very strong in educating yourself, but also to educate everyone,” said New. “This principle is still essential for everything that the royal establishment does today – we still hope to inspire the next generation of scientists from all aspects of life and backgrounds.”
She added that each of the laptops in Faradai will be numbered and made online.
