optics and electricity, gravity and heat, metallurgy and meteorology, geography, art, literature, history, philosophy and chemistry, astronomy and geology.We are all familiar with these teachings, but not everyone knows that Mikhail made a significant contribution in these areas.
most important discoveries of Lomonosov for physics, chemistry and astronomy.These great achievements have surpassed scientific works of Western scientists for decades.
At the beginning of the eighth thousand seven hundred forty year Mikhail insisted on the construction and equipment according to the drawings of his chemical laboratory at the Academy of Sciences, where he was to conduct analyzes of samples of various minerals and ores.These instances are extracted from the Lomonosov mountain plants all over Russia.
chemical and physical experiments conducted by Lomonosov in his personal laboratory, always unparalleled accuracy.One day, in the eighth thousand seven hundred forty year Mikhail spent such an experiment: weighing the sealed vessel made of glass with lead plates, he ignited it, and then determine the mass again.The plates thus covered with the oxide, however, the total weight of the vessel after the experiment remained unchanged.As a result, it opened one of the most important laws of nature - the conservation of matter.The printed publication of the law there was only twelve years old, in a scientific thesis "Discourse on the fluid and the hardness of bodies."This discovery Lomonosov considered the most significant in the aforementioned law.
Mikhail was the first who formulated the basic provisions of the theory of gases related to the kinetic section.Lomonosov believed that any body is composed of microscopic particles moving - atoms and molecules moving faster when heated object, and as it cools - much slower.
University Scientific discoveries are constantly concerned most unpredictable areas and thus, Mikhail Vasilyevich led the sphere of fine arts.In the fifties of the 18th century, scientists began to show a special interest in the bead and glass factories.It is thanks to this technique appeared Lomonosov facing as Russian mosaic.
In seven hundred and sixty-first tysyacha year Mikhail watched the passage of Venus between the Sun and Earth.This was a very rare occurrence followed scientists from many countries, to create for this long expedition.But only the genius of Lomonosov, being at home in St. Petersburg and watched the chimney, made the greatest discovery that the atmosphere exists on Venus, but more dense than our planet.One of the opening of the University would be enough, that his name be remembered distant descendants.
without a trace invention University astronomers would have been extremely difficult to penetrate deep into the universe, because Mikhail has created powerful at that time, the type of reflecting telescope.The reflector was only one mirror, which is arranged in an inclined.This made it possible to observe a brighter image of the object, because in this case the light is not lost.
Ahead of modern science at the time, Lomonosov the very first of the scientists realized that the star's surface, called the Sun is a fire raging ocean, because it even "stone boiling water."
Discovery University also touched upon building scientific Russian language.He began to appear only during the reign of Peter I and consisted entirely of borrowed foreign words.To identify any technical stuff, all the experts used in Latin, Dutch, German and Polish words, and they, unfortunately, were incomprehensible to others.
University Achievements marked streamlining terminology and limit the number of foreign expressions that filled him literary and scientific Russian language in the early eighteenth century.
