The story of celebrities making friends 100 words

Joule, a famous British scientist, loved physics since he was a child. He often does some experiments about electricity and heat by himself.

One holiday, Joule and his brother traveled to the suburbs. Joule, who is clever and studious, never forgets to do his physics experiments even when he is playing.

He found a lame horse, led by his brother, and quietly hid behind him. He used a volt battery to electrify the horse, trying to see how the animals reacted after being stimulated by the current. As a result, the reaction he wanted to see appeared. The horse jumped wildly after being shocked and almost kicked its younger brother.

Although the danger has appeared, it has not affected the mood of little Joule who loves to do experiments. He rowed with giggle to the lake surrounded by mountains, where Joule wanted to try the echo. They filled the musket with gunpowder and then pulled the trigger. Who knows "bang", a long flame spouted from the muzzle and burned Joule's eyebrows, almost scaring my brother into the lake.

At this time, the sky was covered with thick clouds, lightning and thunder. Joule, who just wanted to go ashore to take shelter from the rain, found that it took a long time to hear the thunder after every lightning. What happened?

Joule didn't take shelter from the rain, dragging his brother up a hill and carefully recording the time of lightning and thunder with his pocket watch.

After school started, Joule almost wanted to tell the teacher all the experiments he had done and ask for advice from the teacher.

The teacher smiled at Joule, who was eager to learn and curious, and patiently explained to him: "The speed and harmony of light are different. The speed of light is fast and the speed of sound is slow, so people always want to see lightning before hearing thunder, but in fact lightning and thunder happen at the same time. "

Joule suddenly realized. Since then, he has been more fascinated by learning scientific knowledge. Through continuous study and careful observation and calculation, he finally discovered the mechanical equivalence of heat and the law of conservation of energy, and became an excellent scientist.

Vanity of powerful people

The famous Italian sculptor Michelangelo once carved a stone statue in Florence. Because the statue is huge and will be placed in a prominent position in the city, Michelangelo did his best in both conception and technology. After nearly two years of creation, Michelangelo finally finished his work. He was proud of himself when he saw this work that embodied all his skills. When the work was previewed, Florence was filled with people and marveled at his creation. Finally, even the mayor of Florence came to visit, and many dignitaries whispered around the statue, waiting for the mayor to express their opinions. The mayor looked at the statue haughtily and asked, "Is the author here?" Michelangelo was invited before the mayor. The mayor said, "Stone Carver, I think the nose of this stone statue is a little low, which affects the artistic atmosphere of the whole statue." Michelangelo listened and said, "Dear mayor, I will raise the nose of the stone statue according to your request." After that, Michelangelo asked his assistant to take out tools and carry stone powder to process the nose of the stone statue. Michelangelo rubbed stone powder on the nose of the stone statue. After a while, he came to the mayor and said, "dear mayor, I have raised the nose of the stone statue as you asked." Do you think it's ok now? " The mayor looked at it, nodded and said, "Masons are much better now. This is the perfect art ".

After the mayor left, Michelangelo's assistant asked inexplicably, "You just put three handfuls of stone powder on the nose of the stone statue, but the nose of the stone statue hasn't become bigger at all?" Michelangelo said: "However, the mayor thinks it is too high.

It is said that this stone statue still stands on the streets of Florence. Anyone who knows the origin of the stone statue knows this proverb: "The vanity of the powerful is the three handfuls of stone powder on the nose of the stone statue."
