    I think you missed a critical fact. She was the first (not sure if the only) person, not man, person, to win Nobel prizes in two different disciplines of science, both physics and chemistry. I’m not sure if anybody has done that since. But it is a noteworthy fact of her achievements.
    Also, she was almost denied the prize because she was a woman and the committee was going to give it to her husband alone.
    I think that needs to be added to her bio. She was not only an extraordinary woman scientist, but extraordinary by any standard.

      @@claudemaassen2963 yes, but the 2 other people who won 2 Nobels have been in the same field (John Bardeen for Physics, twice; Fredrick Sanger for Chemistry, twice). The Nobel is considered being at the pinnacle of your field. Imagine mastering 2 to the same height, which is why her win in 2 different fields is even more remarkable. She's the only one along with Linus Pauling to have ever won 2 in 2 different fields in history (Pauling won for chemistry and then for something not really scientific, but mostly his activism during the cold war, which made him win one for peace). Marie Curie is the only one to have ever won in two entirely different fields of science. She's the boss of bosses! These four double Nobels are known as the Magnificent Four! :)

      In other words, the only way to prove your theory is to try find the errors (hopefully not finding it) in it.

      Truthsabre7 there is! Greer Garson made a hit film about her life in the 1940’s. It’s very good, too. I dare not think about how ridiculous they would make a biopic today. It would star someone who overuses the word ‘like’ constantly, and they would throw an affair or two in for good measure. All that science stuff would be glossed over too, because everything is now marketed towards morons who would undoubtedly find her true life story ‘boring’.
      Honestly it’s worth checking out ‘Marie Curie’ with Garson and Walter Pidgeon, if you’re interested.

    Madame Curie is probably one of the most remarkable persons in the history of mankind.
    I realize that the fact that she's simultaneously a female and a world class scientist would qualify her for that label nonetheless. Nowadays, her reputation is solidly established because of those two facts. She was a female. Se was a world class scientist.
    Nowadays, those two facts work together towards her reputation. Back in the early 20th century, those two facts worked *AGAINST* each other. It's sad, it's stupid and it probably says bad things about us as a species, but during Marie Curie's lifetime, her gender actually worked against her odds of having her achievements acknowledged during her own lifetime.
    Which just makes the fact that her achievements *WERE* acknowledged during her lifetime more impressive, if you ask me.
    As far as I know, this is the first time me - or anyone else, for that matter, have put this in writing - but "If Mrs Thatcher was the iron lady, Mrs Curie was the Lead Lady".

    She was a vtrue "feminist". The world thanks you Marie Curie. I wish my fellow girls & women would strive to be more like her than the Nicki Minaj, cardi B, Kardashians, Miley Cyrus and Lady Gaga's of the world. Thats my opinion. Like it or leave it.

    Incredible woman. i had no idea how dynamic she was. considering her work with radium and uranium, i'm amazed she had such a long life. it was wonderful that it didn't seem to effect her second daughter.
    Unfortunately, like many "inventors" (Tesla), businessmen made the fortune, not the Curies.
    but - two Nobel prizes - how many people have had that distinction?

    One thing you missed about her burial:
    Her tomb had to be lined with lead because her body was radioactive (and I believe still is).

    I used to work at a comic book shop, and we used to show promotional material. One was a trailer for a comic about a group of assassins called "The Family Trade".
    Why do I bring this up? Well, the song you used was also in the trailer for the comic. Now, I won't be able to think of Marie Curie without thinking of a comic book with a lot potential that was wasted on a lackluster character and story.
    Thanks for that!
    Joking aside: Great video

    You did an excellent job of explaining the importance of her/their work at the physics level. The recent movie “Radioactive” could have used your help. (a high energy physicist)
