Title: Who am I?
Post by: Don_1 on 19/05/2009 09:25:42
Following on from the 'Can you guess what this is' thread, I thought perhaps we could try a 'Who am I?' thread.

So here goes with the first candidate.

Who am I?

I was born in Germany in the mid 19th. century and trained as a military physician at the Kaiser Wilhelm Akademie. I invented a piece of equipment which bears my name and remains in use to this day.

Who am I?

I am an Italian who studied the chemistry of gases. Although I discovered a gas, it is not for this discovery that I am best remembered.

I was a well known astronomer and alchemist working for the Czech King and my assistant went on to become famous in his own right.
Title: Who am I?
Post by: Don_1 on 19/05/2009 20:33:53
Still no takers eh! Perhaps I have not really given enough of the right clues.

I am credited with the most accurate astronomical observations of my time, and the data will used by my assistant to derive the laws of planetary motion. I catalogued the planets and stars with enough accuracy to determine whether the Ptolemaic or the Copernican system described the heavens more accurately.

Who am I?

I am the son of a wood-carver who became a Knight of the realm and a Fellow of the Royal Society.

Although I am a chemist responsible for the discovery of a number of elements, my name is, perhaps, better known for my invention which is named after me.

William Ramsay?
Humphry Davy?
Title: Who am I?
Post by: Don_1 on 21/05/2009 08:05:07
One of them, yes.

I was born in Cornwall, England in the later part of the 18th. century.

My work on electrolysis lead me to the discovery of Na, Ca and K. I also discovered a few other elements and my invention could have been described as 'a glimmer of hope' in the safety of miners, which earned me the Rumford medal in 1816.

Who am I?

I was born in the American state of Maine in the dying years of the 19th century. I did not graduate. I began as an apprentice in a mill at the age of 12, then joined the US Navy in 1912, where I learned wireless telegraphy.

In 1945 a chance happening lead me to an invention which is now in common use in homes all over the world.
Title: Who am I?
Post by: Don_1 on 21/05/2009 13:44:22
Next clue:

The chance happening lead to a rather messy pocket when I was working with a magnetron.
Title: Who am I?
Post by: Don_1 on 21/05/2009 16:07:41
Another clue:

The first of these *************** now in use around the world, was 5' 6" high and weighed in at over 1/3rd of a ton. So they were the preserve of commercial establishments. Today they are small enough to fit into any kitchen, where they belong!
Title: Who am I?

Who am I?

I was born in England in the very early 20th century. I tried to join the RAF in 1923, but they wouldn't have me because I was too small. I tried again after a spot of bodybuilding, but was told I could not have a second chance. So I tried again under an assumed name and got in!

I reached the rank of Air Commodore.

I and a German engineer worked independently on the same idea. But I'm the 'Daddy'.

I was born in Poland in 1945. As a child I was very ill, and nearly died.
In 1965, I enrolled in the University of Jenna, but after a few years I was imprisoned due to my political beliefs.
One of my trademarks is a direct reference to an oil painting by Rembrandt. I am flamboyant, and known for creating controversy wherever  I go.
I am best known for being able to ‘halt time’.

Nope not an architect. I am not quite as famous or well-known as the other scientists who have been on here,but nevertheless my contribution to science is very notable, especially the teaching of anatomy. I am problably better known for my controversy than my contibution to science.
I am still alive, and I have had several TV shows centered around my work.

           Who am I?????????

                     was born in Mymensingh (which is now in Bangladesh), began his studies in London as a medical student. He then won a scholarship to Cambridge University, from where he graduated in natural sciences in 1884. He was appointed professor of physical science at Presidency College, Calcutta, in 1885 and retained this post until 1915.Indian plant physiologist and physicist His most famous work concerned his investigations into plant physiology and the similarities between the behavioral response of plant and animal tissue. By devising extremely sensitive instruments he was able to demonstrate the minute movements of plants to external stimuli and to measure their rate of growth. While his experimental skill was widely admired, this work did not at the time gain universal acceptance

I was born in Madison County, Georgia, in the early 19th. C. and studied at the University of Pennsylvania where I gained my degree as an MD.

I made a discovery which I first put to use in the mid 19th. C. However, I did not publish a paper on this and was subsequently usurped by some upstart from Massachusetts.

I published the first American textbook on chemistry.  I pioneered education for women by helping to found women’s colleges, and I had no fear of speaking boldly about abolishing slavery.  Professionally, I was a doctor, and I provided Lewis & Clark with a medical kit and taught them about frontier illnesses.  I significantly improved the lives of those unfortunate souls sent to asylums.  Perhaps my most interesting achievement is that I discovered addition!  My contemporaries merely wagged their fingers at drunkards and told them they should drink less.  However, I actually sat down and listened to these unfortunates fellows, and I realized that, somehow, something in the drink caused them to lose control of their senses and that their only hope was to abstain completely.  If you care to see a likeness of me, then look to the logo of the American Psychiatric Association. 



Dr Rush perhaps?

Yay sweet I get to ask now =D

I am a man of both science and religion. I am highly interesting in the study of electricity. I also invented something called an electroscope. More Importantly... I was most famous for zapping electricity through 200 monks from a monastery tied together in a row using copper wire.

AHHH I SCREWED UP! I mixed up the guy i was thinking of and William Gilbert haha. So I'll just Give out the answer. I was Thinking of Jean-Antoine Nollet or Abbe Nollet. so Points to Chemistry4me and Mr. Scientist

Abbe Nollet was a French clergyman and scientist who made his own version of the electroscope. His version i believe used a piece of paper instead of a pithball which Gilbert used. But his most interesting "experiment/show" was to test that current can travel through a mile almost instantaneously. He got 200 monks to hold hands and tied them together with wire then shocked them. All the monks jumped up and twitched in unison

Get this one guys........
  Who am I???                       
                            1804-1851, I was a Prussian mathematician, widely considered to be the most inspiring teacher of my time and one of the greatest mathematicians of all time.

        My greatest work was my investigation of elliptic functions, particularly my development of the theta function. Second in importance are my researches in differential equations and rational mechanics......... [O8)] [O8)] [O8)]

I was a vulcanologist who had a front row seat to this eruption. Unfortunately I never got to publish my findings as I died an instant after broadcasting "Vancouver, Vancouver! This is it!" via my radio. My body was never found. Who knows maybe I'll be fossilized!

A Vulcanologist eh?

Mr Spock!

I'd say good guess but it's not! Here's a further hint. I don't know if I died before or after Harry Truman. It doesn't matter because we surely died within seconds of each other.

I don't think you have quite grasped my meaning.

Vulcanologist - Mr Spock

Volcanologist - David Johnston. Died in the Mt. St. Helen's eruption of 1980.

OK, so it can be spelled either way, but I think since we have 'volcanos' and not 'vulcanos' it really ought to be spelled 'volcanologist'

Hmmm! Now should I have spelled 'spelled' or 'spelt'. Although 'spelled' is the accepted norm, it seems 'spelt' is also acceptable. Sorry, I'm waffling now.


Harry S Truman, incidentally, died in 1972.

Ok I just read this story. Here's a tough one, maybe.
I am an Astronomer who was married to a geologist who worked on the moon rocks in the 1970's. My husband brought home a tiny sample of moon dust for me, which I ate. Thus I'm likely the only astronomer in the world to have eaten part of the moon. To help you guess: I discovered one of the most famous comets of the 20th Century, along with my husband and our friend armature astronomer ________. I am still alive, but sadly my husband is not. The moon dust gift was VERY romantic. Bonus points if you can guess why I ate it.

Some possibilities:-

You had indigestion and thought it might bring some tranquility to your upset stomach.
You are a gastronome who wanted a meal which was 'out of this world'.
You are an alcoholic and thought it was 'moonshine'.
You are just plain loony 'Lunar'.

If you read the book then you'd know that people thought exposure to moonlight would help get you pregnant. Shoemaker was her last name.
