For a person to discover fruitful truths, it takes millions of people to destroy their lives through failed explorations and tragic mistakes.
A person's life can be as colorful as summer flowers, or as plain as a stream. In the course of life, it's just that each of us pursues differently. Some people can ignore them for their interests, while others rush through the winter and heat for life.
In the eyes of most people, most outstanding scientists are people who do not care about their interests, and their actions are even more incredible. Just like the opening sentence, truth always has to be tested by life before it can become true truth.
Lavoisier , known as the father of modern chemistry, is such a person.
A talented scientist with a well-earned family background
The world has lost the mood of ordinary people, but we can't always capture the hearts of those outstanding scientists. In the eyes of ordinary people like me, there are only two types of scientists who can truly change the world. Strong9strong is a lunatic and the other is a neuropathy.
Because of 's behavior and principles, I can't learn it, and I can't understand it . So they succeeded after all, and I am a layman who lives in a world where I dress and eat.
A solid family environment may not be a prerequisite for a person's success, but some vulgar things can always be avoided, and you can do something you like a little willful. Lavoisier is a genius who has grown up in this environment.
Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, lawyers have been a noble profession in the Western world. Since noble can obtain more material.
Lavoisier was born in a family full of lawyers. His childhood may be unfortunate, because his mother died when was five years old , but he seems to be lucky again, and his mother left him a large legacy.
The family originally hoped that he could inherit the mantle of his ancestors and become an excellent lawyer, but Kravoisier prefers natural science.
Of course, he still respects his family's expectations and arrangements for his future. When Lavoisier was 18 years old, he was admitted to the law school of the University of Paris, , and he was qualified as a lawyer with his clever mind.
Even so, he still failed to let go of the science he loved, and began to study chemistry systematically in his spare time, taking elective courses as his main major.
Chemistry seems to be a subject that is particularly troublesome and troublesome to many people. But people who like this subject are crazy about it. When enjoys the various surprises brought by the experiment, it can also trigger incredible fun.
I am immersed in this, perhaps only the four words Lebusishu can describe its charm. Lavoisier is such a person, and he is also a genius in the discipline of chemistry . During his studies, he questioned the recognized " phlogiston theory ".
After graduation, Lavoisier did not become a well-dressed lawyer as his family thought.Instead, went to work as an assistant to the geographer Getta, and assisted Getta in drawing the map of France. At the same time, he followed Guetta to various places in France, collecting various ores for geographical research.
But at this time, Lavoisier still did not give up his love for chemistry research. In 1768, Lavoisier, who had just turned 25, became an academician of the French Academy of Sciences , which officially kicked off his numerous achievements in modern chemistry.
Political mediocre chemistry expert
This young academician of the Academy of Sciences not only has outstanding talents, but also has a relatively solid family environment. He has become a star of France at the time.
A lot of people began to come to ask for a kiss, and in the end he also fell in love with a beautiful girl who speaks multiple languages, and the two soon entered the marriage hall. At the same time, Lavoisier also spent a lot of money, became the tax package officer at the time, and began to enter the political field.
This should be the happiest time in Lavoisier's life. During this period, he buried himself in the laboratory, did a lot of chemical research, and left a lot of great works.
The concept of " oxygen" was put forward by Lavoisier during this period. Through a lot of experiments, he discovered the combustion accelerator in the air and named it "oxygen" .
However, his achievements are more than that. In several experiments, he verified a law that was not recognized in Europe at the time, that is, the law of conservation of mass . The law of
was proved in Lavoisier's experiment. In order to be able to leave more doctrines for future generations, Lavoisier also published a lot of theoretical books for later chemical research.
This period was the most glorious period in his life. He was recognized by more and more people in his research field, and became one of the most famous scientists in Europe at the time . In politics, he also reached the peak of his life, became a member of Congress .
However, this also brought him a burden. The heavy political work had to make him stop his experiments and travel around to make political speeches or debates.
However, he does not have any political minds and often offends people. Strong9strong wants to return to the laboratory. is at ease to do something he likes.
But is in the rivers and lakes, involuntary , he has to face the status quo and do some things he doesn't like, and this will also pave the way for future stories.
The final madness
1789 The French Revolution broke out, Lavoisier, as one of the tax package officers of the Bourbon dynasty, soon became the target of French people's attack .
What's more, the people he once offended by began to fall into trouble ,Even if a just scientist intercedes for him, it doesn't help.
Strong9strong Lavoisier was pushed to the guillotine shortly after . Scientists always act so crazy that they are incomprehensible.
Even if he is pushed to the guillotine, he is not worried about his fate, but an other scientific question that pops up in his mind. Does the soul really exist ? Does quality also exist? He wanted to use his own death to solve this mystery.
Before the execution, he found the executioner and told the executioner an idea, hoping that after the executioner cut off his head, would check if he blinked .
If you blink, please record the number of blinks. If blinks represent the real existence of the soul, can verify the law of conservation of mass, because there is always a slight change in weight after death.
After the execution, he saw Lavoisier blinking and clearly called out the number of times he blinked. Strong9strong clearly saw him blinking 11 times. There is no way to verify the authenticity of this story now. Although many people in the Western world are telling this story, it has not appeared in the formal.
As Lavoisier himself said, the truth of needs to be verified by scientists at the expense of blood and life. and he also verified the answer he wanted at the last moment of his life, but he could not hear it anymore. That's it.
In 1794, 51-year-old Lavoisier died on the guillotine, which became the most painful thing in the scientific community at that time.
At the best age of a scientist, was brutally persecuted because of political struggles. This is undoubtedly a great loss for the chemical industry.
However, after all, his work laid the foundation for the development of modern chemistry, which is a good thing.
