Everyone knows that cats play by their own rules, even when it comes to science. Are they solid? Yes. Liquid? Yes, too. Here are 19 examples of how cats can take the shape they want, regardless of physical rules. Bemorepanda collected some funny pictures for you.

 

The most real liquid cat

 

"My cat leaked to the floor"

 

"I have 5 liters of a cat"

 

Catte latte

 

Slice of Processed Cat Cheese

 

"My cat's mood is to melt while lying on the carpet."

 

This is some otherworldly creature

 

Maybe not quite liquid yet, but definitely melting

 

"Yes, it is busy here, put the spice in another jar."

 

Cats

  

Once it fits, it means it's convenient

 

"My mom and her melted cat"

 

"Today she decided to be an egg."

 

"Something is leaking from my sink"

 

"I had to look at my couch twice before I figured it out."

 

As it gets warmer, watch your cats and make sure they don't melt!

 

It fits perfectly there

 

"The dough seems to have risen enough and will soon run away."

 

He overfilled this bowl with himself

Marie Curie (1876-1934), a Polish-French experimental scientist, became known worldwide for her scientific discoveries in the field of physics and chemistry, which played an essential role in the scientific revolution. And her merits did not go unnoticed by the scientific community - Marie Curie became the first woman to receive the Nobel Prize (for research on radioactivity), and the first person in history to receive the Nobel Prize twice. In addition, Maria was the first female professor at the University of Paris. From the above, it is easy to understand that she had extraordinary talent and thinking. And this at a time when the opinion of women was not listened to, which made her career even more impressive.

14. “My husband and I were so closely connected by our affection and common work that we spent almost all the time together.”

22. “During 1894, Pierre Curie wrote letters to me that seem to me admirable in their form. None of them were very long, as he was in the habit of expressing himself briefly, but they were all written in a spirit of sincerity and with an obvious desire to make the one whom he wanted to have as a companion know him for who he is.

 

 

23. “Sometimes I had to stir the boiling mass for days on end with a heavy iron rod almost the same size as myself. By the end of the day, I was exhausted. On other days, on the contrary, the work consisted in the smallest and most delicate fractional crystallization in an attempt to concentrate the radium.

30. “In 1903, I defended my doctoral dissertation and received a degree. At the end of the same year, Becquerel, my husband and I were awarded the Nobel Prize for the discovery of radioactivity and new radioactive elements.

 

 

31. "In the course of my research, I had to investigate not only simple compounds, salts and oxides, but also a huge number of minerals."

 

32. "The death of my husband, which came immediately after the discoveries with which his name is associated, was perceived by the public, and especially by scientific circles, as a national misfortune."

 

33. “I don’t have a dress other than the one I wear every day. If you'd be so kind as to give it to me, please keep it practical and dark so that I can wear it later to go to the lab."

 

34. "The first experiments on the biological properties of radium were successfully carried out in France with samples from our laboratory, while my husband was still alive."

 

35. "My experiments have proved that the radiation of uranium compounds can be measured with accuracy under certain conditions, and that this radiation is an atomic property of the element uranium."

 

36. “If I see something vital around me, it is precisely that spirit of adventurism that seems indestructible and akin to curiosity.”

40. “In the study of highly radioactive substances, special precautions must be taken if you want to make accurate measurements. Various items that are used in the chemical laboratory and those used for experiments in physics become radioactive in a short time and act on photographic plates through black paper. Dust, the air in the room, and clothes, everything becomes radioactive.”

 

41. "After all, science is essentially international, and it is only because of the lack of historical meaning that national qualities are attributed to it."

 

42. “We must not allow ourselves to believe that all scientific progress can be reduced to mechanisms, machines, gears, although these mechanisms have their own beauty. I also don't believe that the spirit of adventurism is in danger of disappearing from our world."

 

43. “Unfamiliar with Paris, I was lost in the big city, but the feeling that I live there alone, taking care of myself without anyone's help, did not depress me at all. If sometimes I felt lonely, then my usual state of mind was peace and great moral satisfaction.

45. “I have often been asked, especially by women, how I can combine family life with a scientific career. Well, it wasn't easy."

 

 

46. ​​“When radium was discovered, no one knew that it would be useful in hospitals. The work was purely scientific. And this is proof that scientific work should not be considered in terms of its direct usefulness.

 

47. “In 1906, just at the moment when we finally abandoned the old laboratory in the barn where we were so happy, there was a terrible catastrophe that took my husband from me and left me alone to raise our children and at the same time continue our research work.

 

48. "Stability can only be achieved with inactive matter."

 

49. “Pierre Curie voluntarily exposed his hand to radium for several hours. This resulted in a burn-like injury that developed gradually and took several months to heal. Henri Becquerel accidentally received a similar burn as a result of carrying a glass tube containing radium salt in his vest pocket. He came to tell us about this pernicious effect of radium, exclaiming both admiringly and annoyedly: "I love him, but I have a complaint about him."

 

50. “We believe that the substance that we have extracted from pitchblende contains a metal that has not yet been discovered, related to bismuth in its analytical properties. If the existence of this new metal is confirmed, we propose to call it polonium, after the name of the country of origin of one of us."

 

51. “Chemically, radium differs little from barium; the salts of these two elements are isomorphic, while the radium salts are usually less soluble than the barium salts.

 

52. “All my thoughts were focused on my studies, which, especially at the beginning, was difficult. In fact, I was not sufficiently prepared to take the course in physical sciences at the Sorbonne, because, despite my best efforts, I did not manage to get in Poland the same complete training as the French students attending the same course.

55. “If it takes a hundred years, it would be a pity, but I will not stop working for this as long as I live.”

 

56. "I will devote only a few lines to expressing my belief in the importance of science - it is through this daily pursuit of knowledge that man has risen to the unique position that he occupies on Earth, and his strength and well-being are constantly increasing."

 

57. “Certain bodies ... become luminous when heated. Their luminosity disappears after a while, but the ability to glow again under the influence of heat returns to them under the influence of a spark, and also under the influence of radium.

 

58. "The various reasons we have listed lead us to believe that the new radioactive substance contains a new element, which we propose to call radium."

 

59. "This means that we have here a completely separate kind of chemistry, for which at present we use an electrometer, and not a balance, and which we may well call the chemistry of the imponderable."

 

60. "A sensitive plate, an ionized gas, a fluorescent screen are actually receivers of another kind of energy, chemical energy, ionic energy ... light energy."
