1932 - The first yellow fever vaccine was announced.
VACCINES WORK!! Just look at the pre-vaccine era data.
Unless you’d rather see millions of people afflicted with the many diseases currently protecting the 'human world' from the 'germ world'...Sure some people are killed and maimed by vaccines, but nowhere near as many as those who’ve been protected from the debilitating and deadly germs they defend against.
The question of 'vaccinating vs. not vaccinating' isn’t even a logical debate...And the idea they aren't needed anymore because the world has been eradicated of the horrors of vaccine preventable diseases is disproved anywhere vaccines have low rates.
What is a smart argument is: Can we continue to stay ahead of the germs or will they eventually claim their superiority over man and his magic - modern medicine?
I'm betting germs make a huge comeback at some point, because the germ world changes much faster than the human world...And the germ world doesn't have maniacs contesting its change.
585 B.C. - A war between Lydia and Media ended due to a solar eclipse.
Lydia and Media were in present day Turkey and Iran.
Both probably figured their gods were being overpowered by their opponents gods, and decided they better give up before they were destroyed by the same power which put the sun out.
1686 - The first volume of Isaac Newton's 'Principia Mathamatica' ('Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy') was published in Latin. His discovery of differential and integral calculus is presented here. Below are Newton’s Laws of Motion, which obliterated the Aristotelian concept of inertia.
1. Every physical body continues in its state of rest , unless it is compelled to change that state by a force or forces impressed upon it.
2. A change of motion is proportional to the force impressed upon the body and is made in the direction of the straight line in which the force is impressed.
3. To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction.
Book Three of the Principia opens with two pages headed 'Rules of Reasoning in Philosophy.' There are four rules as follows:
1. We are to admit no more causes of natural things than such as are both true and sufficient to explain the appearances. (A restatement of Ockham’s Razor: “What can be done with fewer is done in vain with more.”)
2. Therefore to the same natural effects we must, as far as possible, assign the same causes.
3. The qualities of bodies which are found to belong to all bodies within the reach of our experiments, are to be esteemed the universal qualities of bodies whatsoever.
4. In experimental philosophy we are to look upon propositions inferred by general induction from phenomena as accurately or very nearly true notwithstanding any contrary hypothesis that may be imagined, till such time as other phenomena occur, by which they may either be made more accurate, or liable to exceptions.
It’s a slow day, so why not...There are few things as impressive as the mind of this 'Genius of all Geniuses.'
1902 (at exactly 10:40 AM) - The one billionth second since January 1, Year Zero.
As counted on the Gregorian Calendar.
Just an interesting stat, and a great example of how large a billion of anything is.
1914 - W.H. Carrier patented the air conditioner.
I live in Phoenix (Land of the 120 Degree Summer Day), so in my mind this is by far one of the greatest inventions in the history of mankind.
1939 - Hitler proclaimed the German-Polish non-aggression pact was still in effect: WWII.
HAHAHAHAHAHA! Not in a funny way, but in an absolutely ridiculous and sad way.
1945 - Italian dictator Benito Mussolini and his mistress, Clara Petacci, were executed by Italian partisans as they attempted to flee the country: WWII.
(By the way, many texts list him as killed on April 29, but the real date was the 28th).
YES!!! Justice was served, and the Italian people were completely justified in stringing Il Duce up and beating his dead corpse to a pulp.
It’s too bad his buddy, Hitler, escaped the Russian mob, which would have made Mussolini’s departure look like playtime compared to what they would have done to ‘The Madman.'
1952 - The Japanese Peace Treaty was signed, formally ending WWII in the Pacific.
Seven years after the war ended...Such is the case when the victors are decent enough to rebuild a country and a nation.
No country in the history of the world had ever done such a thing, which is one of the many things separating the U.S. from any other country in history.
