Atmospheritrons?
Jokes on you. The man that introduced atmospheric electricity to the world won the Noble Peace Prize with this discovery. Sure, I oversimplified it. But, wish to keep it simple and talk to you about it. Apparently, you never heard of it before either! We should all seek to understand the natural world we live in. I think this subject, and many others, is important to understand so that we don't become stagnate with yesterdays science.
Indeed, all peace prizes are noble. But exactly which one did Benjamin Franklin win?
Also, did atmospheric electricity bow or curtesy when introduced?
Ok, I will go away now.
I always knew Dr. Franklin was a genius of the first water, now I understand he was more clever than I had imagined. Not only did he win a peace prize for his work in physics, he managed to do so a century and a half before the Nobel Prizes were established.
It would not surprise me to learn that he also won an Oscar for 'Best Supporting Actor In A Revolution' and an Olympic gold medal for placing first in the Bifocalathon.
