7 scientists who had hobbies that you could not imagine
Generally we know the discoveries, theoretical contributions and the thought of the great scientists. Without detracting from his valuable contribution to the world of science and to humanity in general, we are also interested in some things about his private life, hobbies and hobbies. So we know some of the hobbies to which they devoted their free time 7 of the most famous scientists in history.
Max Born
As a good German, the pioneer of quantum physics, creator of theory on the electronic mechanism of chemical affinity and Nobel Prize in Physics 1954, was a great music fan. Unfortunately, his life was not enough to see him succeed as a singer and actress to his granddaughter, Olivia Newton-John.
When Born died in 1970, Olivia was already 21 years old but had not yet recorded her first album.
Nikola Tesla
The inventor of the alternating current system fed daily to the pigeons that frequented a park located near his laboratory. It is said that he spent two thousand dollars on a device to help move one of these birds with one leg and one of its wings broken, while the bones healed.
Towards the end of her life she became so obsessed with a dove that she slept with her, even saying "I loved her as a man loves a woman and she loved me too".
Albert Einstein (and Max Planck)
The author of the theory of Relativity and most famous brain in the history of science, he also had musical talent and learned to play the violin himself. He performed duets with his friend Max Planck, author of the quantum theory and Nobel Prize in Physics 1918, who was an accomplished pianist.
Richard Feynman
The American physicist and 1965 Nobel Prize for his research on the transformation of a photon into an electron and a positron, was a remarkable and semi-known painter who used the pseudonym "Ofey". Ofey's paintings received good reviews in an exhibition.
###Enrico Fermi
The Italian-American scientist who built the first nuclear reactor and won the 1938 Nobel Prize in Physics was a competitive tennis player. With his Latin temperament, the tennis player Fermi seems to have sent serves, setbacks and volleys with particular ferocity.
###Erwin Schrödinger
This Austrian physicist, author of the famous mental experiment called Schrödinger's Cat and 1933 Nobel Prize for the formulation of the equation that bears his name, the quantum equivalent to Newton's laws in classical mechanics, had a rare hobby. In his spare time, Schrödinger manufactured miniature doll furniture.
###Marie and Pierre Curie
The first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and first person to obtain it in two different specialties, was fond of long distance cycling. When she married Pierre Curie in the summer of 1895, the couple's honeymoon trip was a bike ride through northern France. By then they were very short of money and bought the bicycles with the money they gave them as wedding gifts.
