Marie Curie was a well-known scientific giant, having won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903 and the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1911.
She is the first woman in history to win the Nobel Prize and the only scientist to have won the Nobel Prize twice. However, such an outstanding woman was maliciously attacked by the French, the windows were smashed, and some even threatened to let her leave France.
Why is that?
Marie Słodowska Curie, daughter of a Polish-born intellectual family, was born in 1867. Her father was a middle school physics and math teacher, and her mother was the principal of a girls' school.
However, despite this, the family is still living on a tight foot. When she grew up, she and her sister both wanted to study in France, but they didn't have enough money. Before her sister was given the opportunity to go to school, 16-year-old Mary worked as a tutor for eight years to earn money for her sister's education.
It wasn't until her sister found a job after graduation that Marie was able to study at the University of Paris. At the University of Paris, she graduated first in physics and second in mathematics.
Pierre: Marie met an equally remarkable man in her life – the French physicist Pierre Curie. Their first encounter struck a chord with them: "He stood in the recess of a French window facing the balcony, like a painting embedded in a glass window.
He was slender, with russet hair and bright eyes that were deep and calm. His demeanor is elegant, his expression is deep and gentle, and the first time you see him, you will feel as if he is a dreamer immersed in his own thoughts.
His simple and sincere attitude seemed to be a deep liking for me. "Because of their like-mindedness, they quickly became friends.
Soon after, Pierre expressed to Marie his desire to live with her and pursue scientific ideals together. Mary agreed. In 1895, at the age of 28, Marie tied the knot with Pierre, 36, and since then she has changed her name to Marie Curie, and is known as "Marie Curie".
The Curie couple were sweet and happy after their marriage, and they used the red envelopes after their marriage to buy two bicycles. In their spare time, they often ride their bikes to the countryside, bringing back a few bouquets of fragrant flowers and plants.
Sometimes, they get so busy playing that they lose track of time and don't think about going home until late at night. And during the holidays, they rode their bicycles to many places in Auvergne, the mountains of Séfanna and the seaside.
A few years later, the Curies were happy with their two bright and lovely daughters, who brought sweet troubles to their lives. In order to better take care of her children, Marie Curie at one point considered whether to put aside scientific research for a while.
However, her husband, Pierre, told her firmly: "You shouldn't give up research. God tailors it for you and me so that you can share everything with me. So, they came up with a plan and asked Pierre's father to come and help.
Pierre's father was very happy to help take care of his granddaughter, which gave Marie Curie more time to focus on her research. "It is this peaceful, heartfelt life that allows us to accomplish the great things of our lives. ”
The Curies spent more than 1,300 days and nights in a humble shack when they discovered new chemical elements – polonium and radium – a discovery that made them famous.
In 1903, they were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics with Becquerel, making Marie Curie the first woman to win the Nobel Prize. However, because of the daily asphalt torture, her weight has dropped so much and her health has been impaired that she does not have enough strength to accept the award in person.
03 When the two scientists became famous, Pierre was in a car accident and unfortunately passed away! On April 19, 1906, Pierre died at the age of 47 when he was hit by a galloping carriage while crossing the road while walking across the road after attending a gathering of scientists.
This devastated Marie Curie, who lost her partner and mentor who was a perfect fit for her in science and life. However, Marie Curie did not let this discourage, and she resolutely took over her husband's teaching position at the University of Paris, teaching physics.
This is the first time that a woman has been appointed as a professor at the University of Paris, and it has attracted a lot of attention from the academic community. At the same time, in order to fulfill her husband's scientific wishes, Marie Curie continued her research alone, so that the scientific achievements created by the couple could shine.
In 1906, when we were about to say goodbye to the wooden shed that had been with us for many years and brought us countless joys, a catastrophe struck suddenly. The disaster took my Pierre, leaving me alone to raise the children and continue our business.
This heavy blow made me almost break down mentally and felt unable to face the future. However, Pierre's words have always haunted my ears and I can't forget them: even if I am gone, you must keep working! ”
In 1911, Marie Curie was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for her successful extraction of radium, becoming the first scientist to win two Nobel Prizes. However, she gave the patent to others for the extraction of radium, on the grounds that "radium is a chemical element, belonging to all mankind, and should not be appropriated by anyone for profit." ”
Albert Einstein once spoke highly of him: "Of all the world's celebrities, Marie Curie is the only one who has not been burdened by fame." She was also the only one who had not been crushed by notoriety.
So, why is that?
Mr. and Mrs. Curie 04 Marie Curie, a female scientist, has won endless praise for her achievements; However, her love life is full of twists and turns and misfortunes, which is sympathetic.
Although she was Pierre's widow and a highly respected scientist, it was widely believed that she should have worked hard and died alone, as everyone expected.
However, Marie Curie was not without emotional needs, she was a flesh-and-blood person. So she found love and was with Paul Langevine.
In the former Radium Research Institute, the relationship between the two great scientists, Madame Curry and Langevin, transcended the boundaries between teacher and student. However, this relationship was not acceptable in French society at the time.
What's worse is that Lang Zhiwan is a married man, and his "extramarital affair" is unacceptable. Langevine's wife was an ignorant and rude woman who always put pressure on Langevin's work.
During an altercation, Langevin's wife even hit him on the head with a vase. Marie Curie was very sympathetic to Langevin and she tried to help him. However, Langevin's wife intercepted the letters she had written to friends and sold them to journalists.
The ending of this relationship is deeply regrettable.
Title: Exposing the truth of "Love Story: Marie Curie and Professor Lang Zhiwan" Text: In the voice of ** support, Marie Curie was labeled as "little three" and "**, and people seem to have forgotten those scientists who have worked hard for the cause of science.
And today, we're going to reveal the truth behind this love story. The article ** fragments of Marie Curie's letter to Lang Zhiwan, the discovery of radium ignited the fire in the hearts of scientists, but also caused misunderstanding and prejudice in society.
Marie Curie is not a "junior" or "she is just a tenacious woman on the road of scientific research, and her dedication and sacrifice deserve our respect and admiration."
Let's revisit this love story together, respecting the spirit of science and respecting the tenacity and bravery of women.
Albert Einstein stood up for Marie Curie and his remarks raised eyebrows, saying that "if they love each other, it's their business, and no one else has the right to interfere."
When Marie Curie was under great pressure, Einstein wrote to comfort her. However, Lang Zhiwan chose to return to his family and chose to escape. This move turned people's anger on Marie Curie, who vandalized her home and even wrote a joint letter demanding that she leave France.
Marie Curie endured tremendous mental stress and physical exhaustion, and eventually suffered from depression and had to go to a friend's house in England for a year to recuperate.
In 06, Marie Curie persevered, and despite the vilification, she did not lose herself, but devoted herself more diligently to scientific research and strive to climb to the top of her career.
Next, she devoted herself wholeheartedly to scientific research, saying: "If you look mediocre at the age of 17, you can blame your mother for not giving you good genes; But if you are still ordinary at the age of 30, you can only blame yourself, because you did not breathe new vitality and color into your life during those long years. ”
Although love used to be as hot as radium, its toxicity almost destroyed my life, but I have no regrets. In 1934, Marie Curie died of pernicious anemia at the age of 66.
Joliot-Curie, the eldest daughter of Ilena and her mother Marie Curie, was Marie Curie's assistant and son-in-law of the Curies, for whom she inherited her parents' scientific interests and scientific spirit, for which she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
