迈克尔法拉第于1791年9月22日出生在英国伦敦的一个贫穷家庭,家庭条件十分有限。法拉第从小就对科学产生了浓厚的兴趣,但由于家庭经济拮据,他没有接受正规的教育。尽管如此,他通过自学和阅读积累了丰富的知识。法拉第在14岁时成为了伦敦一位书籍装订匠的学徒,在这段时间里,他利用工作之余的时间自学科学。他特别对电学和磁学感兴趣,并开始参加一些科学讲座。1812年,他有机会听到著名的化学家汉弗里戴维的讲座,这次经历深深启发了他。1821年,法拉第被聘为戴维的助手,正式进入科学界。在接下来的几年中,他发表了一系列重要的研究成果,包括电解现象、电磁感应等。他最著名的成就是发现了电磁感应定律,这是现代电动机和发电机工作的基础。法拉第还提出了厂的概念,开创了电磁场理论。他的实验和理论工作为后来的物理学家奠定了基础,尤其是在电磁学领域。尽管法拉第的科学成就卓著,但他始终保持谦逊的态度,他热衷于科普工作,努力让普通大众了解科学知识。他主持了皇家学院的多场公开讲座,吸引了大量观众。法拉第还关注教育,尤其是儿童的科学教育。他认为科学应该向所有人开放,尽可能普及。他自己也在晚年设立了奖学金,以帮助有潜力的年轻科学家。法拉第在1867年退休之后,过着相对平静的生活。尽管健康状况逐渐恶化,法拉第依旧积极参与科学讨论,直到他于1867年去世。迈克尔法拉第不仅是一位杰出的科学家,还是科学传播的先驱,他的研究极大地推动了电气工程和物理学的发展,对现代科技产生了深远的影响。他的名字永载史册,成为科学史上的一座丰碑。

$司马迁,字子长,生于公元前145年或135年,生于龙门,西汉夏阳,籍今陕西省韩城市。另说今山西省和今世西汉史学家、文学家、思想家司马谈之子,任太史令,被后世尊称为史迁、太史公、历史之父。他创作了中国第一部纪传体通史的时机,原名太史公书,前后经历了14年才得以完成,被公认为是中国史书的典范。该书记载了从上古传说中的黄帝时期到汉武帝太初四年长达三千多年的历史,是二十四史之首,被鲁迅誉为史家之绝唱,无韵之离骚,与汉书、后汉书、三国志合称前四史,与资治通鉴并称为史学双璧。司马迁少年时随父司马谈读书,并从董仲舒入学春秋向孔安国问一尚书,十岁时已能阅读诵习、古文、尚书、左传、国语、戏本等书。20岁出游,考察各地名胜古迹,访问历史一事,调查社会风俗,后为郎中。曾随汉武帝出巡西北诸侯郡县。公元前104年,汉武帝命令公孙卿壶遂司马迁侍郎尊大典姓氏姓等人讨论定制焊立。后来司马迁以欲绝二师,不以零游说,被定为巫王罪名案例。当然,司马迁毅然选择了以腐刑赎身死。公元前91年,史记全书完成。全书130篇,526500余字,包括12本纪、30世家、七十列传、十表八书。司马迁死后是机藏于家,至汉宣帝时,始由其外孙杨恽公布于世。另有报仁安书、诉王庙论杯是不遇赋等著作。
他曾经做过。这样一个梦。水稻比高粱还高,籽粒比花生还大。他就那样坐在稻穗下乘凉。1964年,袁隆平开始研究杂交水稻,从书本到田野,从梦境到现实。1973年,杂交水稻成功问世,让粮食亩产量开始了质的飞跃。2000年亩产700公斤,2004年亩产800公斤,2014年亩产1000公斤。今天,杂交水稻在全国累计推广面积超过90亿亩,增产稻谷8.5亿吨。每年因种植杂交水稻而增产的粮食,可以多养活约8000万人口。历经半个世纪水稻研究,袁隆平将梦的种子撒向了更远的地方。如果全世界有一半稻田种上了我们的杂交稻,每年可以增产稻谷1亿6000万吨,可以多养活5亿人口。人家都叫我说90后,虽然到了90后,但是生前可以做研究。一位老者,一颗赤子的心,一个童真的梦,这是稻田里的中国梦,也是历史长河里的世界梦。
居里夫人名叫玛丽居里,1867年出生于波兰,虽然最终声名鹊起,但实际上他的求学生涯并不顺利,高中毕业后因为是女性而被波兰、俄国的大学先后拒之门外。对于当时的观念而言,女性还很难和男性获得同等的权利与尊重。然而,所有人都低估了居里夫人对科学的热忱,即使被反复拒绝,也丝毫没有气馁的意思。为了能够完成自己求学的梦想,他毅然决定先去别人家里当家庭教师,为自己留学巴黎积攒学费。因为在那个粗暴的年代,或许只有开放的巴黎才能接纳他。结果他这一干就是整整八年的时间。不过事实也证明他的选择是对的,巴黎成就了他后来的伟大。传其历经磨难的他终于如愿以偿,完全靠自学进入了旧巴黎大学所属的索邦大学,学习数学和物理,最后取得这两个专业的硕士学位。在巴黎,居里夫人不仅完成了自己的梦想,更是邂逅了她美丽的爱情,和同样对科学充满热情的皮埃尔居里结为连理,从此开始了他近40年的科学探索之路。玛丽结婚后,人们都尊敬地称呼她居里夫人。他们两个经常在一起进行放射性物质的研究。在研究中,居里夫人发现可能还有一种未被发掘的新元素,能够放射光线。这种元素是极少量的,存在于矿物质中,它把它定名为雷。1898年12月26日,法国科学院人声鼎沸,居里夫人在这里宣布了他最惊人的发现,天然放射性元素镭。这位美丽端庄的年轻女性让法国乃至世界科学界无比震惊,他的发现标志着物理学进入了一个全新的时代,而且在此之前,还没有一个女子登上过法国科学院的讲台。按理来说,这些成就和发现足以让他名留青史了,但执着的他仍不满足,他更想将这种神奇的元素提炼出来。为了得到镭,居里夫人开始了他漫长而艰苦的提炼工作。一间四处透风的木棚就是他的实验室。夫妻俩把上千公斤的沥青矿残渣一锅锅的煮沸,不断的翻搅过滤。就这样,经过三年09个月的艰苦工作,居里夫人终于从矿渣中提炼出0.1克镭盐,它在容器里散发着幽蓝色的光芒。这是居里夫人天才、智慧和非凡毅力的竞争,也像是这对令人敬佩的夫妻爱情的结晶。如果不出意外,这对志趣相投的夫妇本该是让人羡慕的神仙眷侣,在科学的道路上相互扶持。但谁又能想到上天竟如此残忍,就在他们提炼出镭元素四年后,他们的事业生活正在渐入佳境之时,丈夫皮埃尔竟然惨遭车祸身亡了。这对居里夫人来说无疑是个巨大的打击。挚爱之人突然离世,灵魂伴侣从此阴阳两隔,在他的世界里,再也没有一个懂自己爱自己,能够和自己共同进退、荣辱与共的那个人呢。在很长的一段时间里,居里夫人都沉浸在这种悲痛之中,难以自拔,但居里夫人毕竟是居里夫人,这个在男性主导的科学世界里巾帼不让须眉的伟大女性,留给别人的从来不是软弱的形象。丈夫走了,看着曾经两人朝夕共处度过一个个艰苦日夜的实验室,望着没有做完的实验和一堆爱人留下的计算公式,居里夫人不得不振作起来,下定决心将夫妻俩的研究进行到底。这位坚强的女性从此以后更加投入,将他的余生都奉献给了科学事业。1910年,居里夫人成功的分离出金属雷,分析出镭元素的各种性质,精确地测定了它的原子量。同年出版论放射性。在国际放射学理事会上,人们制定了以居里名字命名的放射性单位,同时采用了居里夫人提出了雷的国际标准。居里夫人的事业再次达到了顶峰。面对漫天的美誉与无上的荣耀,居里夫人出奇的淡定从容。爱因斯坦曾说过,他是唯一没有被名誉所毁的人,虽说成就惊人,但他却从不计较名利,也不注重金钱,一生都过得极为艰苦。在研究所提炼出来后,更是毫不犹豫的放弃了炼制的专利权,他认为那是违背科学经典的。他说,雷应该属于全世界。他不仅把自己和丈夫几年艰苦提炼了价值百万法郎的雷无偿送给了巴黎大学实验室,还将两次获得的诺贝尔奖奖金全部捐出,平淡的继续从事枯燥的研究。他的行为感动了当时的人们,也让后世的我们肃然起敬。真正的崇高并非喊着奉献的口号,非要证明自己的高尚,而是像他这样认为这一切本该如此,自己只是做了应该做的事。他从未觉得自己有多么伟大,从未觉得自己取得的成就有多么光荣,他的无数奖牌成了小女儿的玩具,名与利对他而言完全没有意义。正是这样的不自知,成就了他的伟大。他的人格魅力照耀着我们长达百年之久,并且越来越散发出耀眼的光芒。他把他的一生完全献给了他所挚爱的科学事业,直至最后一刻。这是怎样的一种无私和无畏的精神呢?
