no.1 Enrico Fermi
29.09, one hundred and twenty-one years ago, the nuclear physicist Enrico Fermi was born.
At the age of 27, Fermi became a member of the Royal Academy of Italy. At that time Mussolini ruled the country and all civil servants had to accept the Fascist ideology. At first, Fermi, like many others, agreed to this. However, after nine years of his life, he changed his attitude to this regime and began to oppose it. The consequence was the loss of his job.
He discovered the nuclear reactions occurring under the action of neutrons. For this, he soon received the Nobel Prize.
After leaving with his family for Stockholm to receive the prize, Fermi decided not to return to Fascist Italy. Instead, he moved to the United States and became a professor at Columbia University.
And at this time he was very puzzled by a question expressed by the famous Fermi paradox:
"On the one hand, numerous arguments are made for the fact that there must be a significant number of technologically advanced civilizations in the universe. On the other hand, there are no observations to support this. The situation is paradoxical and leads to the conclusion that either our observations are incomplete and erroneous. Well, where are they then?"

no.2 Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac
In 1802, a French scientist made an experiment. He took a flask filled with gas and plugged it with a drop of Mercury. He placed the flask in a tank of water which was uniformly heated. The water was heated up to 100 degrees Celsius and at the same time it heated the gas in the flask. After that, the scientist remarked that the drop of mercury went higher and higher as the temperature increased. He concluded that as the temperature increases, so does the volume of the gas. And he wrote it down as follows:
When the pressure on a sample of a dry gas is held constant, the Kelvin temperature and the volume will be in direct proportion
When the pressure on a sample of a dry gas is held constant, the Kelvin temperature and the volume will be in direct proportion
Although, in fact, this law is called the Gay-Lussac Law only in the Russian-speaking world. In the West, it is called Charles's law. All because they both worked in the field of thermodynamics and at about the same time independently of each other discovered this law. As well as the isochoric process, which in the Russian-speaking literature is called Charles's law, and in the English version it is the opposite of Gay-Lussac's law.

no.3 James Randi
In 1946, Randy began a career as a magician, an illusionist. He was mainly involved in escapes from prison cells and safes, and hosted all sorts of children's and entertainment shows on TV. He once escaped live from a straitjacket while hanging upside down over Niagara Falls. On the show, however, he was often confronted by people who believed in the paranormal or Jesus. Which he argued with them about and once even quit. He himself was often called a psychic or a telepath, to which James honestly replied that no, he was just a cheater. Eventually his life's work and endless arguments with believers led him to world fame, he founded the James Randy Foundation. The foundation offered $1 million to anyone who would come forward and, according to scientific test criteria, demonstrate supernatural abilities (between 1996 and 2015, no one ever did).
James Randy supported the legalization of drugs, was a proponent of social Darwinism, and was an atheist:
"...there are two types of atheists. One type claims that there is no god, the other claims that there is no evidence to support the existence of a god. I belong to the second group."

no.4 Ludwig Boltzmann
"A living being in a particular epoch will determine the direction of time as a direction from less likely states to more likely states. The former will be called the "past," the latter the "future".
Ludwig Boltzmann is the man who essentially explained the whole world by introducing the concept of entropy.

no.5 Isaac Newton
Isaac Newton was born on December 25, 1642. With his scientific work, he laid the foundation for classical mechanics-the science that studies the motion of bodies and its causes. He also introduced the famous equation of gravitation (the force of attraction), which says that this force depends on the masses attracted to each other and the distance between them.
