Quotes

“ALL THIS IS A DREAM. Still examine it by a few experiments. Nothing is too wonderful to be true, if it be consistent with the laws of nature; and in such things as these, experiment is the best test of such consistency.”
“It is the great beauty of our science, chemistry, that advancement in it, whether in a degree great or small, instead of exhausting the subjects of research, opens the doors to further and more abundant knowledge, overflowing with beauty and utility.”
“I have far more confidence in the one man who works mentally and bodily at a matter than in the six who merely talk about it — and I therefore hope and am fully persuaded that you are working. Nature is our kindest friend and best critic in experimental science if we only allow her intimations to fall unbiased on our minds. Nothing is so good as an experiment which, whilst it sets an error right, gives us (as a reward for our humility in being reproved) an absolute advancement in knowledge.”
“I was at first almost frightened when I saw such mathematical force made to bear upon the subject, and then wondered to see that the subject stood it so well.”
“But still try, for who knows what is possible...”
“If you would cause your view … to be acknowledged by scientific men; you would do a great service to science. If you would even get them to say yes or no to your conclusions it would help to clear the future progress. I believe some hesitate because they do not like their thoughts disturbed.”

Michael Faraday [ˈfærədeɪ] (* 22. September 1791 in Newington, Surrey; † 25. August 1867 in Hampton Court Green, Middlesex) war ein englischer Naturforscher, der als einer der bedeutendsten Experimentalphysiker gilt. Faradays Entdeckungen der „elektromagnetischen Rotation“ und der elektromagnetischen Induktion legten den Grundstein zur Herausbildung der Elektroindustrie. Seine anschaulichen Deutungen des magnetooptischen Effekts und des Diamagnetismus mittels Kraftlinien und Feldern führten zur Entwicklung der Theorie des Elektromagnetismus. Bereits um 1820 galt Faraday als führender chemischer Analytiker Großbritanniens. Er entdeckte eine Reihe von neuen Kohlenwasserstoffen, darunter Benzol und Buten, und formulierte die Grundgesetze der Elektrolyse. Aufgewachsen in einfachen Verhältnissen und ausgebildet als Buchbinder, fand der von der Naturforschung begeisterte Faraday eine Anstellung als Laborgehilfe von Humphry Davy an der Royal Institution, die zu seiner wichtigsten Wirkungsstätte wurde. Im Labor der Royal Institution führte er seine wegbereitenden elektromagnetischen Experimente durch, in ihrem Hörsaal trug er mit seinen Weihnachtsvorlesungen dazu bei, neue wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse zu verbreiten. 1833 wurde Faraday zum ersten Fuller-Professor für Chemie ernannt. Faraday führte etwa 30.000 Experimente durch und veröffentlichte 450 wissenschaftliche Artikel. Die wichtigsten seiner Publikationen zum Elektromagnetismus fasste er in seinen Experimental Researches in Electricity (Experimentaluntersuchungen über Elektrizität) zusammen. Sein populärstes Werk Chemical History of a Candle (Naturgeschichte einer Kerze) war die Mitschrift einer seiner Weihnachtsvorlesungen. Im Auftrag des britischen Staates bildete Faraday mehr als zwanzig Jahre lang die Kadetten der Royal Military Academy in Woolwich in Chemie aus. Er arbeitete für eine Vielzahl von Behörden und öffentlichen Einrichtungen, beispielsweise für die Schifffahrtsbehörde Trinity House, das British Museum, das Home Office und das Board of Trade. Faraday gehörte zu den Anhängern einer kleinen christlichen Minderheit, den Sandemanianern, an deren religiösem Leben er aktiv teilnahm.
