Science blog returns

Saturday, March 3, 2012

Yeah, this blog just got its 10 000th hit!! Question of week for Monday, March 5


Each is worth a point.
NOTE; There won’t be a question next week; I’ll be at MUN in Brussels.

1.       What two scientists whose last name begins with a B, were born on this day.
2.       The more famous of the two scientists had a biography published about him in 1997. Who were the two authors?
3.       One of these two authors was related to this scientist, how?
4.       The other scientist born today later had his work questioned and was found to be wrong. What study of his was later found to be incorrect?
5.       What other person born today was an American industrialist and inventor of a sleeping car for use on railroads that was named after him?
Good luck
Mr A
