They say that genius and madness go next. Presdavlyaem you ten sbrendivshih geniuses in the history of mankind
10. No beans
The great Greek mathematician Pythagoras theorem presented the science, which later became the basis of geometry. However, not all of his ideas have stood the test of time. Pythagoras strongly supported the idea of vegetarianism, and yet one of the aspects of this practice was a complete ban of legumes. According to legend, these seeds have been implicated in the death of mathematics. Fleeing from the robbers, he came across a field strewn with beans and decided it was better to die than to step on it. Then the attackers caught up with him and cut his throat.
9. I went to relieve himself
Tycho Brahe - Danish astronomer who lived in the sixteenth century, was known for his eccentric life and no less strange death. In college, he lost his nose in a duel, and since then wore a metal prosthesis. But Tycho was still the joker, which probably killed a scientist. During a banquet in Prague Quiet departed not out of the bathroom to the completion, as it was considered a breach of etiquette. He then earned an inflammation of the kidneys and his bladder burst 11 days later.
8. genius ahead of his time
Nikola Tesla was one of the greatest scientists of all time. He immigrated to the United States from Serbia in 1884, where he began to work for Thomas Edison, making stunning discoveries in radio construction, robotics and electricity. Some of them Edison usurped. By the way Tesla was impulsive, not only during the operation, he suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder - namely, very afraid of germs. In addition, he became obsessed with the number 3, bypassing the building three times before entering. During each meal, he enjoyed exactly 18 wipes to rub the polished cutlery.
7. The absent-minded professor
Werner Heisenberg probably one of the most brilliant theoretical physicists of cockroaches in my head. In 1927, he developed the famous quantum mechanics the uncertainty principle, which explains the behavior of subatomic particles. Despite this he nearly flunked doctoral examination because I had almost no practical knowledge. When the professor asked him how the battery - he had not the slightest idea.
6. genius workaholic
Physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer was an incredibly gifted man: fluent in eight languages, he has a wide knowledge of philosophy, linguistics, and even poetry. As a result, sometimes it was difficult to understand other people because of their lack of education. For example, in 1931 the great physicist asked his colleague at the University of California at Berkeley Leo Nedelsky prepare for a lecture, saying that it should be easy because all the necessary material has been in the book that gave him Oppenheimer. Soon puzzled Leo returned because the book was completely in Dutch. What genius said: "But it's such an easy language!».
5. Diary of a lifetime
The architect and scientist Richard Fuller, known for creating the geodesic dome (spatial steel mesh sheath straight bars), the future of urban development and the creation of the car under the name "Dymaxion". But beyond that Fuller was a little eccentric: he wore on his arm three hours, to always know the exact time of different time zones, several years slept only two hours a day (nicknamed it "sleep Dymaxion"), but soon gave up, that is. k. his colleagues could not keep up with his work. And the most interesting thing is that the scientist conducted a detailed diary of his life from 1915 to 1983 (in which the events were recorded every 15 minutes). In consequence of this log was called "The Chronicles of Dymaxion" (includes 82 meters in height), and he is now at Stanford University.
4. Homeless mathematician
Paul Erdős was so devoted to his work that he never married and lived out of a suitcase, often appearing on the verge of their friends with the words "my brain is open," and then went to the head of a day or two. In order not to waste a single minute to waste, he whipped coffee cups, took caffeine pills and amphetamines. The result: thousands of published works, and even brought the number of mathematics Erdös (in simple terms the length of the shortest path from man to the Erdos to work together).
3. Physicist Funny
Richard Feynman was one of the most prolific and well-known scientists of the 20th century. That only is his participation in the top-secret Manhattan Project. But Richard was quite a joker. For example, when he was bored on the Manhattan Project, he opened the locks and cracked safes, showing how easy it is to bypass the security system. Along with the development of the theory of quantum electrodynamics, Feynman was hanging with strippers, thoroughly I learned the language Maya, possessed of Tuvan throat singing, and was able to explain how the rubber O-rings caused the explosion of the spacecraft «Challenger» in 1986.
2. Granite instead furniture
British mathematician and electrical engineer Oliver Heaviside developed a set of methods for the analysis of electrical circuits and solutions of differential equations. However, he had his own cockroaches in my head. Oliver made the whole house of large granite blocks nakrasili nails in bright pink and all day could drink only milk. In addition, he suffered from the hypergraph (the state of the brain, which causes an irresistible urge to write).
1. Bone Wars
During the Jurassic fever (late 18th - early 19th centuries), a paleontologist at the Peabody Museum at Yale Othniel Charles Marsh and a member of the Academy of Natural Sciences scrambled to outdo each other, with the result that they became bitter enemies. Once Marsh bribed guards excavation to assign all of the finds themselves. During one of the expeditions he sent his men to monitor Cope. Rumor Mount spies blew each other for fear of exposure. For years, Marsh and Cope publicly humiliated each other in scientific articles alleging financial mismanagement and professional incompetence. And yet, they have made a huge contribution to paleontology: thanks to their efforts have been discovered such classic representatives of ancient times as the Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Diplodocus and Apatosaurus.
