Queen Victoria offered him a knighthood; Westminster Abbey begged to bury him. Michael Faraday refused them all to lie under a plain stone in Highgate. The bookbinder who gave humanity electricity owned nothing but his integrity. #Faraday #STEM #HistoryOfScience #Ethics
@goldenarchivepress.bsky.socialSpontaneous generation removes parents, language, doctrine, and society. An obsolete theory asks what knowledge could arise without cultural transmission.

@leontessar.bsky.socialThe word most people use for this field was coined in 1957 by psychiatrist Humphry Osmond, writing to Aldous Huxley: Greek psyche, mind, and deloun, to make visible. Their letters appeared in 2018 as Psychedelic Prophets, a primary source.

@cronologia.bsky.socialAbout three times in every billion—that's the decay rate the Standard Model predicts. Franco Bedeschi, an Italian physicist from Pisa, appears among the authors who confirmed it. #HistoryOfScience #ParticlePhysics #CERN
@darrenpalmerauthor.bsky.socialOver 2,000 years ago, the Greek astronomer Hipparchus estimated the distance to the Moon using observations of a solar eclipse from different locations.
No telescopes. No spacecraft.
Just geometry, observation and mathematics.

@ioppublishing.bsky.socialToday we wish a Happy Birthday to Meghnad Saha, an Indian astrophysicist and politician who helped devise the theory of thermal ionization. Explore some of Saha's groundbreaking research from our historic archive 🔗: https://ow.ly/532r50ZTgr8 #OnThisDay #HistoryofScience #Astrophysics
@commonplacefacts.bsky.socialIn 1850, Jacques-Toussaint Benoît tried to invent wireless communication using paired snails, animal magnetism, and copper sulfate. The science was nonsense. The ambition was oddly prophetic. #WeirdHistory #HistoryOfScience
@matildaslab.bsky.socialIt's time for a shiny new instalment of the History of Science.
Today, we are introduced to the remarkable, yet enigmatic, Indus Valley Civilisation.
@hydezero-message.bsky.socialHow did potentials change status after Maxwell? This technical guide separates historical interpretation from gauge freedom and the Aharonov–Bohm phase. Changing the basic equations' form does not remove a physical force.

@hydezero-message.bsky.socialWhy did a discussion with young ’t Hooft last for hours? Iliopoulos’s recollection explores the gap between hearing a result and learning to use it, with an introduction to renormalization and gauge fixing.

@sheriffof0.bsky.socialA car-boot box held 204 Palomar sky-survey prints: a continuous run of 102 fields, 1950s exposures on c.1980 Kodak paper. One field holds the Galactic Centre, here only because the survey grid reached it.

@hydezero-message.bsky.socialPaid guide: calculate hydrogen spectra with Bohr's model and compare letters, memoirs and poems. Explore Bohr and Frost's 1923 meeting through Kragh's history study; a major impact on their work remains unproven.
