Christopher M. Langan Interview

Christopher M. Langan Interview

superscholar.org

Christopher Michael Langan lays legitimate claim to having the highest IQ of anyone in the United States. He is a scholar in the original sense of the word. Scholar in its Greek root refers to leisure for reflection, and Langan has devoted his spare time to intellectual pursuits. That said, Langan is an unconventional scholar. Most scholars are associated with universities or think-tanks; they are paid to think. Langan’s day jobs, by contrast, have tended to be in the blue collar world — most colorfully as a bouncer. And yet he continues to read, research, and write. In addition, through hi...

The collaboration of Antoine and Marie-Anne Lavoisier and the first measurements of human oxygen consumption

journals.physiology.org

In addition he was a major figure in respiratory physiology, being the first person to recognize the true nature of oxygen, elucidating the similarities between respiration and combustion, and making the first measurements of human oxygen consumption under various conditions. Less well known are the contributions made by his wife, Marie-Anne Lavoisier. However, she was responsible for ...

Baron Justus von Liebig was born on May 12, 1803, in Darmstadt in southern Germany.

Because his interest in chemistry was much greater than his interest in other school subjects, young Justus was apprenticed to an apothecary. However, he left his apprenticeship after less than a year and returned home to continue his chemical experiments.At the age of 17 years, Liebig went to the University of Bonn (Germany) to study c...

A key, a casket and the hunt for Spanish dramatist Pedro Calderón's bones

theguardian.com

The death of Pedro Calderón de la Barca – soldier, priest and one of the finest dramatists Spain has produced – continues to prove almost as turbulent and unpredictable as his long and improbable life.Four centuries after Calderón died in Madrid aged 81, researchers believe they could be close to finding his remains, thanks to the deathbed testament of a priest, a key long guarded by the playwright’s family and the latest in ground-penetrating radar.Calderón, whose most famous play, La vida es sueño (Life is a Dream) is a violent examination of fate, free will and the nature o...
