    Marie Skłodowska Curie’s revolutionary research laid the groundwork for our understanding of physics and chemistry, blazing trails in oncology, technology, medicine, and nuclear physics, to name a few. But what did she actually do? Shohini Ghose expounds on some of Marie Skłodowska Curie’s most revolutionary discoveries.
    Lesson by Shohini Ghose, animation by Anna Nowakowska.

      No, not the best.
      I'm not sure what you based that on, I know it's definitely not based on any quantitative comparison (e.g. we could consider the total bits of information as possessed by the potential author's papers, or, the total bits of information of papers of which cites the original, for example etc.).
      There are much, much bigger giants in the history of scientists and mathematicians, including John von Neumann, Einstein and Gottfried, considering we are blind to sex.
      Of course, the sex inequality may change in the future, and I'm sure many of the more liberal, secular historical figures may welcome sex equality in such fields.
      However, what you state is absolutely, completely not true, and does not respect the true geniuses of the mentioned few respectively.

    • @zizo0ditto1989
      @zizo0ditto1989 7 років тому +176

      theorist199729 Alright since we're doing this, I must first start by saying that if you take everything everyone says on the internet to the letter, you're gonna have a bad time. On another note though, the geniuses you mentioned though gargantuan in their fields, were not made to endure as many troubles as she has. Of course, there are better scientists out there, I don't deny it but her will and courage inspire more than any other, hence the "perseverance" in my comment. Makes sense?

    • @scahsaint6249
      @scahsaint6249 7 років тому +3

      Abdel aziz habiba So, perseverance is the reason why she is the "best." If that's the case, then anyone who perservered can be the "best." Clearly, that would qualify anyone even outside of science because those qualities can be applied in any facet of life.
      So, in essence the only "best" out there is entirely in the realm of subjectivity for each person. Of course, one must not take your comment too literally.

    • @FreestateofOkondor
      @FreestateofOkondor 7 років тому +134

      And we shouldn't be blind to sex. Especially not when comparing historical figures. Neither Einstein, nor von Neumann nor (I think you meant) Leibniz had to endure as much as Marie Curie. All of them were highly respected in their fields while Curie had to listen to scores of men talking about how she was unfit to do science because she was a woman (despite her two nobel prizes). Interestingly, Einstein took her side and defended her. Abdel aziz habiba was talking about good role models. Von Neumann is estimated to have had an IQ of 250, clearly not so much a "role model" as a "guy you could never hope to be". Curie showed perseverance and a strong will to achieve despite all odds, despite the fact that society conspired against her. In that sense, she definitely is a better role model even if you could agree on who was more important than her. Btw: The only one in your list that is arguably "greater" is Einstein. Curie's discoveries have proven to be more important for the 20th century than von Neumann's or even Leibniz's.

    • @theorist-xq6re
      @theorist-xq6re 7 років тому +38

      That's because the unit of measurement for radiation count is defined by Becquerel, hence the unit of which was named after him.
      As you go deeper in physics, functions become much more complex into probability density functions. I'm not sure which level you are at, but the simplest would consider the exponential function of which relates radiation activity to a constant as derived from calculus.
      Marie Curie does not have a degree in mathematics, it is highly reasonable to assume her mathematics is not strong. Mathematics is usually the limiting factor, strong mathematics is usually required in order to establish predictable relationships between variables and constants as defined.
      You'd find that it is the people with mathematics that contribute the most in science.

      almost 2 centuries has passed, and your family tree has sprouted renowned geniuses of the world. your great great great grandparents, their children, their children's children and so on have won nobel piece prizes of their own. then your parents had you. you must continue to carry the honour of your heritage, you're the last branch of the tree they have worked so hard on keeping alive. the whole world has its eyes on you. your heart palpitates faster, your lungs start running out of air, your chest feels tight and your head alarmingly light. you're having a panic attack. _'I messed up.'_ you thought, as you clutch the piece of paper that contain the big bold letters,
      *[REJECTED]*
      you look down below you, eyes losing focus on the vehicles that pass by and people that seem like ants from your view. up on the 40th floor, there you stand. counting your last seconds and breathing your last breath.
      is this how it's going to end?

    Few mistakes.
    0:35 Marie couldn't study because she couldn't afford it in first place. She worked in occupied Poland to pay for her sister education in Paris. Even wealthy Poles didn't want to study at Russian Imperial University (Russian language, Russian professors and students). This was due to boycott of the university by Polish students
    Why you didn't mention that part of her life? - "She taught country children to read, write and count; This activity was forbidden and severely punished by the Russian authorities."
    0:45 Flying University - The purpose of this was to provide Polish youth with an opportunity for an education within the framework of traditional Polish scholarship, when that collided with the ideology of the Russian authorities.
    It means that it was the only higher educational institution that provided education in Polish language by Polish professors in Poland occupied by Russia.
    01:19 She returned to Warsaw to visit her family but she was denied a place at Jagiellonian University in Kraków occupied by Austria. And Warsaw is not Kraków ;)
    Despite these few minor mistakes you did great job!

    It's a pity I have to explain it every time that Maria Curie was a Polish woman, that was just working and living in France because of the difficulties, lack of opportunities in Poland of her time and Russian occupation. Especially because she was the best woman scientist ever.
    It's similar with the pianist and composer Fryderyk Chopin, but he had at least a French father so it doesn't hurt that much.

    I recently watched NatGeo's documentary on Einstein called "Genius". It had a scene which so abstractly contrasted the relation between Marie and Pierre Curie with Albert Einstein and his wife Mileva Marich. Where on one side Pierre protested when the Nobel Committee did not acknowlege his wife's work with him and rejected to accept the Nobel, on the other side Einstein who got so much help with Maths for his paper on Special Relativity, did not even think to put his wife's name as an acknowledgement, who just lost all her opportunities to become a physicist because of their child and housework. She later got into depression and became so angsty. The series truly changed my perspective towards the scientific era of 20th century.
