Message: [QUOTE="Rotwang, post: 3615776"] Where did you learn this crap, the back of a cereal box? This is nonsense. On my shelf at home, for example, I have a copy of /Priestly on Electricity/ (4th ed., 1775) in which the author discusses at length many experiments with electrostatics which were carried out before the time of Newton. Like you did, right? Have you ever considered that the time you spent reading about great discoverers might have been better spent learning about their actual work, rather than just learning about their personalities so that you could attempt to imitate their behaviour (except for the bit where they actually, y'know, *learnt something* about the fields they went on to revolutionise)?
