The process of human struggle with lightning made human civilization enter the "electric age" in the late 19th century. People not only use electricity in their daily lives, but some high-tech fans also "play" with electricity. Among these "Thunderbolt Babes", there are witty and humorous world literary heroes, There are Nobel Prize winners who sing folk songs, and there are rock and roll cannons that are popular, which can be called the cross-border version of "the strongest brain". Let's take a look at what these celebrities have made the video game famous.
Tesla put the ball lightning into Mark Twain's hand
The American literary master Mark Twain is no stranger to everyone. His Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Hulk Bailey-Finn accompanied our childhoods; his Campaign for Governor and Million Pounds made us laugh and fall into deep thought. However, the following example may subvert everyone's impression of the world's great writer.
Mark twain
Mark Twain, a high-tech enthusiast, went bankrupt after funding an automatic typesetter. After Bell invented the telephone, he was one of the first users. Mark Twain had a good friend named Nikola Tesla, the inventor of the same name as Edison, the designer of the "alternating current" system, and the Tesla electric car was named after him.
In 1886, Tesla "made" ball lightning in the laboratory, which could float around indoors and play with it in his hand, and Mark Twain was deeply attracted when he learned about it, so he often found various excuses to go in and out of his laboratory, just to get over the addiction of playing "ball".
On another occasion, Tesla took a picture of Mark Twain with a cathode ray tube, and the negatives were accidentally exposed, almost becoming the world's first X-ray photo.
Bob Dylan uses electricity to "weld" ideas

Bob dylan
On November 16, 2013, Bob Dylan opened a personal wrought-iron sculpture exhibition called "Mood Swings" to the world, showcasing his "welder" abilities.
Dylan, who has been living in seclusion for a long time, usually likes to use electric welding wrought iron products, and he has been preparing for this solo exhibition for three years. Exhibits include seven iron gates, some small sculptures such as fences and window parapets. Dylan personally selected materials, sets, and welded. Dylan would weld the decoration of iron doors with some vintage, eco-friendly objects: horseshoes, calipers, anvils, pulleys, chains, shovels, wrenches, pliers, wheels and oil pumps...
"Iron gates attract me because they allow for some negative space." The poet, who wrote the famous song "Knocking on the Gates of Heaven", said: "Iron doors can be closed, but at the same time they are a mixture of the flow of seasons and breezes, which can both close you and release you." ”
Looking at the above three celebrity "Thunderbolt Babe" deeds, will it subvert your cognition? The highly professional science of electricity, in the hands of masters outside the field, is still tamed and obedient, and the creativity of tricks is flourishing. Of course, the dangerous operation inside, it is not recommended that everyone imitate. But what this article wants to say is that having a curious heart for everything is not only the driving force for the progress of science and technology, culture and art, but also the wonderful "electric shock" that every person who loves life brings to life.
