Episode #232: Henry Cavendish: Det Generte Geni
Forestil dig at revolutionere videnskaben - men være så genert, at du ikke fortæller det til nogen! 🫣
Henry Cavendish var en af 1700-tallets største vidensmænd. Som den første nogensinde formåede han at udregne vægten på Moder Jord. Derudover opdagede han brint og opfandt en old-school version af den dumme plastikfisk i sommerhuset, der kan synge "Åh, Susanne!".
Det var bare ærgerligt, at langt det meste gik i glemmebogen, fordi han var for angst til at fortælle nogen om det...
Tag med tilbage til videnskabens barndom, når vi besøger en af de mest akavede supergenier nogensinde. en alt for sky mand, der udelukkende kommunikerede med sine ansatte via brev. Og så forsøger vi som de første nogensinde at udregne Jordens BMI.
Det bliver nørdet. Det bliver mærkeligt. Det bliver sjovt!
