Strange Brains and Genius The Secret Lives of Eccentric Scientists and Madmen By Clifford A. Pickover Learn about the obsessive and bizarre personalities of some of the greatest geniuses of our time: Tesla, Einstein, Bentham, Kirwan, Heaviside, Johnson, Galton, Pyke, and so many more. Is there a link between genius and madness? What role does the brain play in alien abduction, religious experience, UFOs, and cryonics? Where is Einstein's brain?

Publisher's Weekly Review Publisher's Weekly , May 25, 1998 New Scientist Review "Clifford Pickover in Strange Brains and Genius provides more than enough evidence to show that an astounding intellect can be a passport to insanity. Pickover has gone deep to uncover the sordid, and frequently tragicomic, lives of some of history's most notorious eggheads.... Nikola Tesla is merely the tip of the iceberg. Electrical engineer Oliver Heaviside replaced his conventional furniture with granite blocks and insulated his loft with vast swathes of unpublished, yet brilliant papers. His low self-esteem manifested itself in his idiosyncratic signature: WORM. Pickover has sympathetically exposed the mental weaknesses which may accompany many of these people's amazing intellectual strengths. We see that most of these people contributed more in an afternoon than us dunces achieve in a lifetime. For that, we should be thankful." - NEW SCIENTIST , May 1998

Contacts Archives Oliver Heaviside (1850-1925) Oliver Heaviside was born in Camden Town, London on 18 May 1850, the youngest of four sons born to Thomas Heaviside and his wife Rachel West, whose sister Emma had married Sir Charles Wheatstone in 1847. Thomas Heaviside was a wood engraver and his wife was a governess and had taught the Spottiswoode family, including Sir William Spottiswoode who became President of the Royal Society. However, the family were very poor and the poverty of those early years had a lasting influence on Oliver. His education began at a girls' school run by his mother, but when this failed he was taught by Mr F R Cheshire at the Camden House School. He did not go to university but became a telegraph clerk for the Anglo Danish Telegraph Company, later the Great Northern Telegraph Company, in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1868. In 1874 he retired from work due to increasing deafness. He then began work on a series of problems in telegraphy and signal transmission using experimentation, mathematics and vector analysis. He worked on Maxwell's equations concerning the electromagnetic theory of light. He predicted the existence of an ionised relfective layer in the atmosphere which would bounce radio signals back to earth - the ionosphere - which is known as the Heaviside layer in his honour, and also predicted the existence of sub-atomic particles and the idea that the mass of an electric charge increases with its velocity.

Ayrton, W E (1847-1908) An outstanding teacher of electrical subjects, often using apparatus he had made himself. Appointed the first Professor of Natural Philosophy and Telegraphy at the Imperial College of Engineering, Tokyo in 1873. He became Professor of Electrical Engineering at Finsbury Technical College in 1879 and in 1884 became Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Central Technical College, eventually becoming Dean in 1904. In Tokyo, Ayrton, with John Perry, worked on dialectic constants of gases; viscosities of dialectics and at Finsbury they invented many electrical measuring instruments, including a spiral-spring ammeter and wattmeter. They also worked on railway electrification and produced a dynometer, and in 1882 the first electric tricycle. He was President of the IEE in 1892.

History Pre-History of Radio Astronomy The prediction of electromagnetic waves by Maxwell and the demonstration of their existence by Hertz led several scientists to speculate that celestial objects, such as the Sun and stars, might generate radio waves. The following scientists set the groundwork for the later discovery of radio astronomy. Click on each one for a summary of his contibutions. James Clerk Maxwell (1870s) Heinrich Hertz (1888) Thomas Edison (1890) Sir Oliver Lodge (1894) ... Guglielmo Marconi (1900-1910) James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879) In the 1860s and 1870s, James Clerk Maxwell developed the theory of electric and magnetic forces, summarized in his famous four equations. These equations encapsulated all that had been discovered about electricity and magnetism in the experiments done over the previous few hundred years by Faraday, Volta, and many others. They showed that electricity and magnetism were two aspects of the same force. The equations also predicted that there should be a form of radiation, which came to be known as electromagnetic radiation. Maxwell realized that light was a form of electromagnetic radiation. Around 1862 he wrote, "We can scarcely avoid the conclusion that light consists in the transverse undulations of the same medium which is the cause of electric and magnetic phenomena."

The Tom Bearden Website Help support the research Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2001 17:08:46 -0600 Dear (correspondent): To give you an update: We already had the first action with the U.S. patent office on our first patent for the Motionless Electromagnetic Generator. Many of our claims were recognized. We then entered a strong refutation of the stated reasons for declining the other claims. That refutation has been upheld, and now we have received notification from the patent office that our first MEG patent will be issued with all 30 claims recognized. In addition, a second patent application has been filed, on other aspects of the MEG device, which in the latest embodiment variation is called the TGEN (transformer-generator). Also, we have now secured an agreement with the National Materials Science Laboratory of the National Academy of Science in a friendly foreign country, to do the necessary advanced research to finish the MEG for scale-up and commercial production. The first commercial units should be rolling off the production lines in about one year, and we expect them to be closed-loop self-powering systems of about 2.5 KW output, but modular. So say four of them can be arrayed with a synchronization unit (under development simultaneously) to produce a 10 KW output.

70. Source Of Oliver Heaviside Quote oliver heaviside. On operators in physical mathematics, part II, Proceedingsof the Royal Society of London, Vol. 54, 1893, p. 121. http://www.math.uiowa.edu/~jorgen/heavisidequotesource.html

Mathematics is an experimental science, and definitions do not come first, but later on. -Oliver Heaviside On operators in physical mathematics, part II, Proceedings of the Royal Society of London , Vol. 54, 1893, p. 121. There is nothing by Heaviside in "Bartlett's Familiar Quotations," but the first phrase of Heaviside's aphorism, "Mathematics is an experimental science," is widely quoted. A web search can find it in dozens of places, but only one of the ones found by Google, for example, continues the quotation to the end of the sentence! Here is a larger piece of the section in which the saying appears: "In the preceding, I have purposely avoided giving any definition of 'equivalence.' Believing in example rather than precept, I have preferred to let the formulae, and the method of obtaining them, speak for themselves. Besides that, I could not give a satisfactory definition which I could feel sure would not require subsequent revision. Mathematics is an experimental science, and definitions do not come first, but later on. They make themselves, when the nature of the subject has developed itself. It would be absurd to lay down the law beforehand. Perhaps, therefore, the best thing I can do is to describe briefly several successive stages of knowledge related to equivalent and divergent series, being approximately representative of personal experience. (a). Complete ignorance. (b)...." The epigraph in Operator Commutation Relations by Palle E. T. Jorgensen and Robert T. Moore, D. Reidel, Dordrecht / Boston / Lancaster, 1984, p. 56, incorporates the single sentence at the top of the page as a quotation. That epigraph is taken from a discussion of Heaviside's approach in

Ambos cien­tíficos desarrollaron el método de emanación para el estudio de las su­perficies, además de mejorar la técni­ca de los marcadores radiactivos. En 1938 consiguió llevar a cabo, en cola­boración con Friedrich Strassmann, la primera desintegración nuclear (de átomos de uranio) mediante bombar­deo con neutrones. De este modo es­tableció los fundamentos para el aprovechamiento pacifico y militar de la energía nuclear. Sus trabajos le valie­ron la concesión del premio Nobel de química en el año 1945.

Inicio Buscador Las figuras clave de la historia Reportajes Los protagonistas de la actualidad Heaviside, Oliver (1850-1925) Físico inglés, n. en Londres y m. en Torquay. Bajo el influjo de su tío, sir Charles Wheatstone, decidió dedicarse a la telegrafía, y durante años trabajó con la Great Northern Telegraph Company de Newcastle-on-Tyne. A partir de 1874 una sordera creciente le obligó a dedicarse a estudios matemáticos, de electromagnetismo y de propagación de ondas inalámbricas. Su fama se fundamentó en su teoría del circuito sin distorsión, que apuntó el camino a seguir para el desarrollo, por Michael Pupin, de la telefonía a larga distancia. También sugirió la existencia de la región ionizada extendida entre 90 y 320 km por encima de la Tierra, conocida hoy con el nombre de «capa de Kenelly-Heaviside»; el hecho de que esta capa pueda reflejar las ondas radiofónicas permite la difusión de emisiones de onda corta por toda la Tierra.
