April 8th: Superconductivity!

A new series of posts starts here. I'll be posting events important to atheists everyday hopefully with an attendant story or parable. Something interesting and thought provoking. Or at least a link to an interesting Wikipedia page.

Anyway, on April 8th, 1911 Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes discovered that a Mercury wire submerged in liquid helium lost all resistance to electricity, which he called superconductivity. He went on to win the Nobel prize in 1913.

    I actually dо have 2 questionѕ foг you if you tend not to mind.
    Ιs it only me or doeѕ it appеar like some οf thеse
    remarκs look liκe theу are cоming from brain dеad folκs?
