- ... In these statues, 'St. Mark' and 'St. George', for the first time since Roman classicism, the human body was shown as a functioning figure with a human personality--in sharp contrast with medieval art. Donatello's well-known statue 'Zuccone' ("pumpkin" because of its bald head) of 1425 for the campanile, or bell tower, of the cathedral is a further development of the style. For the base of 'St. George' Donatello ... and twin bronze pulpits for the Medici church of San Lorenzo in Florence, just before his death there on Dec. 13, 1466.

- ... many confusing ideas about the concept of nuclear power. First of all he shoots down the government for giving money to nuclear industries and claims that doing this is "totally inappropriate for government."

He goes through a x-ray radiation experiment where he finds the data of the BEIR committee to be off, but still doesn't prove that their data on radiation deaths is wrong.

- 27476: Albert Einstein
- ... E. L. Planck had proposed that the radiation of light occurred in packets of energy, called quanta. Einstein extended this idea by arguing that light itself consisted of quanta, which were later called photons. Einstein's relativity theory changed scientific thought with new idea of time, space, mass, motion, and gravitation. He treated matter and energy as exchangeable, not distinct. In doing, he laid the basis for controlling the release of energy from the atom. Einstein was one of the fathers of the nuclear age. Einstein's famous equation, E equals m times c-squared (energy equals mass times the velocity of light squared), became a foundation in the development of nuclear energy. Einstein developed his theory through philosophical thought and through ...
