Lavoisier, we owe him a lot to read his summary life:

English notice:

history:
http://wapedia.mobi/en/Timeline_of_hydr ... chnologies

The day after the execution of Lavoisier, the great scientist Louis Lagrange regretted the action of the revolutionary court saying these words: "It took them only a moment to bring down this head and a hundred years, perhaps, will not suffice not to reproduce a similar one. "
Lavoisier's work was based on Priestley's research. However, he tried to take credit for Priestley's discoveries. This tendency to use the results of others without acknowledgment, then draw conclusions of his own, is said [who?] To be characteristic of Lavoisier ...
However, it has been discovered that it is a new detergent, has not been discovered, nor has it been developed. He was essentially a theorist, and his great merit layed in the capacity of taking care of the world. explanation of the results. He completed the work of Black, Priestley and Cavendish, and gave a correct explanation of their experiments.

Overall, his contributions are considered the most important in advancing chemistry to the level of physics and mathematics during the 18th century. [8]


He did not discover everything experimentally, but he understood what no one had understood before him, like the alchemists, with a clear synthetic scientific view starting point of current chemistry.

Finally strange to read the reaction is done at ordinary T:

Certainly he is not the only intellectual to have borne the brunt of the French Revolution. André Chenier is the only one that comes to mind for the moment. But there is more.
Not to mention those who risked (or suffered) the pyre at other times ... for witchcraft, let's think about Galileo, of course.

Thank you deledeco for your very interesting research.

Oh yes, sad times for science ...

But I'm starting to believe that every great discovery must have its "martyrs" (s) ... (even if the term is a bit strong) ...
