If you cant go outside :Go inside

 



Being confined to home with family is mostly the best thing that can happen. It generally helps one to come out with a better version of self. Evidently, most revolutionary scientific ideas have come from isolation. Sharing with you a few of these.

1.Issac Newton in 1665 was confined to his family estate in Lincolnshire with his mother when Cambridge closed down due to a plague epidemic. Newton would sit with prisms in the darkroom allowing the light to enter through a tiny hole made in the shutter, his studies lead to some of the remarkable explanations of optical phenomena at that time. In isolation observing a falling apple in his garden made him understand that it is the same gravitation force that pulls the apple is also responsible for lunar orbit. The mathematical model to solve the problem of the distribution of mass led to the development of whole calculus.
2.Werner Heisenberg in June of 1925 had a severe attack of hay fever because of allergies to pollen. For a change of climate, he decided to go to the Baltic coast. While he was musing on rocks overlooking the Baltic Sea, it led to a revelation that many of the quantities he was struggling to describe within the Bohr-Sommerfeld model were not things any physicist could ever hope to measure directly which led to his famous 'uncertainty principle.
3.In December 1925 another great Erwin Schrödinger struggling to find answers to quantum problems within the domain of relativity put aside his work, and went off to a remote mountain cabin on a ski holiday with one of his many mistresses, spending days skiing, and staying up late nights working on physics and by the time he returned to Vienna he had a non-relativistic wave equation, now known as the Schrödinger equation, that allowed him to correctly describe the states of electrons.
It seems, Our imagination functions much better when we don't have to speak to people.ao let's use the opportunity.
