Cumulative General Science/Technology Quiz

[LAnkou]

nope and nope...

Little help: the fact you get quite far in the past prove that the works of the guy was very important and getting the nobel alone was a real achievement. Really, it's much closer than that.

The question seems very hard, so maybe people want me to give the answer and get a more accessible question, even if the 72h hasn't passed...

 

[peter grimes]

Mendeleev? - or was that chemistry again?

 

[LAnkou]

Nope, but you gave me an idea for my next question...

 

[brennan]

Quick, everyone research Mendeleev!

If you give the date, someone might know the name...

 

[nonconformist]

Enrico Fermi?

 

[Mise]

Rutherford?

 

[LAnkou]

nope and nope...

Hey, I find a very hard question!!! I hope people still find it in the spirit of the Quizz...

 

[Mise]

Alfred Nobel?

 

[brennan]

Name more recent people ferchrissakes or we'll be here till 2009.

 

[peter grimes]

Hawking?

 

[Mise]

Name more recent people ferchrissakes or we'll be here till 2009.

Lets hope whoever wins that one does it solo.

 

[nonconformist]

Sagan ?

 

[Rik Meleet]

Kamerlingh Onnes ?

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

Feynman ?

 

[LAnkou]

nope...

Allright, it's already been 48H...
I think I'm gonna give the answer and the new question this afternoon (Paris time) since tomorrow, i will have my bachelor party...

 

[LAnkou]

OK guys, it was definitely too hard...

Pierre-gilles de Genes in 1991 (for discovering that methods developed for studying order phenomena in simple systems can be generalized to more complex forms of matter, in particular to liquid crystals and polymers) and Georges Charpak in 1992 (for his invention and development of particle detectors, in particular the multiwire proportional chamber) were the two french (yay!! Go France!!) physician i was waiting for...

Pierre-Gilles de Genes was awarded of the title of "Isaac Newton of our time" by the Science Royal Academy of Sweden... His work is now used in so many applications it would be too long to make the list (among others: plasma television...)

Next Question, easier:

All scientist are playing tag in the scientist paradise and it's Einstein turn to catch the others. While Einstein count, every others run except Newton who is tracing something on the floor. When Einstein stopped counting, he goes to Newton, standing on a 1 meterside square. Einstein easily touch Newton: "you're tag". "Nope" answer Isaac "I'm a Newton on 1 meter square"

Who's the tag?

If it isn't a valid question, i may reformulate it into another form, but i find it funnier in this way!!!

 

[Catharsis]

Pascal has been tagged.

 

[Brighteye]

Nice. I like.

 

[peter grimes]

Joule, i think

 

[LAnkou]

Pascal indeed...
because 1 Pa = 1 N/m²...

Thanks to the humour subforum!!!

Catharsis is up!!!
