SCIENTISTS MEET
This is how your great Scientists responded to an invitation.
Pierre and Madame Curie were radiating enthusiasm.
Einstein thought it would be relatively easy to participate.
Volta was electrified and Archimedes buoyant at the thought.
Ampere was worried he wasn't up in his current research and may not be able to spare time.
Ohm resisted the idea at first.
Boyle said he was too much under pressure.
Edison thought it would be an illuminating experience.
Watt reckoned it would be a good way to let off steam.
Stephenson reacted saying that the whole idea was loco.
Wilbur Wright accepted with the proviso that he and Orville could get a flight.
Dr. Jekyll declined - he hadn't been feeling himself lately.
Morse's reply? I'll be there on the dot, can't stop now - must dash.
Graham Bell said he is undecided yet, will give a ring later.
Newton was apprehensive that the whole idea will fall down.
Ramanujan from India, said the time of 6 p.m. if converted
into minutes is a very interesting number. 360 is divisible
by 2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,12,15, 18,20,24,30,36,40,45,60,72,90,120 and 180.
Also if 5 is added to 360 we have 10^2+11^2+12^2 = 13^2+14^2 = 365,
which is the number of days in a normal year.
Milton Reynolds reply was illegible, his ball-point pen ink must have dried up.
Mrs. Rice Heart, special invitee, was keen to come provided there was to be a competition,
she was confident of being named the aviation queen.
Werner Heisenberg harped on uncertainty principle associated with all his programmes.
Dr. Alexander Lippisch was sure that even if he is held up at his prior engagement place
he will be able to reach at supersonic speed.
(Notice that the reply clearly gives out the invention for which the scientist was well known.)
