Have you ever been inspired? WHO has inspired you the most? This was a hard question for me to ponder, and then decide upon. I have been inspired by alot of people: Yuri Gagarin, Michael Faraday, Malcom X, Galileo Galilei, Enrico Fermi, Bruce Lee, Florence Nightingale, Robert Oppenheimer, Madonna, David Bowie etc.
If I had to choose one person who inspired me the most in my life, it would be Alessandro Volta. Imagine 200 years ago - people didn't have a clue about the human body - stuff we take for granded bigtime today. No one could even tell you what makes a human move. But then came Volta. On one afternoon, during a thunderstorm, he noticed that frogs legs that were hanging on a metal wire moved during the lightning. Volta took that observation at face value and now we know that nerve impulses are electrical and chemical, and not mystical. Volta also took it a step further and proved that electricity can be stored in chemicals, and he invented "the battery" which changed life on earth just a little.
