He was a polymath. He was a painter, anatomist, architect, paleontologist, botanical, writer, sculptor, philosopher, engineer, inventor, musician, poet and urban planner. He was very advanced for the technology and science that existed in his era.

He was born in Anchiano, Italia, in april 15 in 1452, he was the 'result' of an extra-matrimonial relationship, his father was a Florentian landlord and his mother was a young woman that later married an artisan. Andrea del Verrocchio was his mentor, she increased his knowledge and creativity to develop some works of art, just like the Vitruvian Man.

He is considered the man of the Renaissance. He discovered and studied a lot stuff, for example he invented the parachute, this is a very important invent in the actuality. He also did the bases of the helicopter, armored cars for the war, the use of the solar energy and the calculator. He also painted The Gioconda, The Last Supper, Salvator Mundi and the vitruvian man. 

He died at the age of 67 in 2 may 1519, possibly of a stroke. 

I consider that he is a genious because he knew a lot of things and found the bases of a lot of stuff that is very important and very useful in our society, he guided a lot of cultural stuff and I consider that mans like him, that are very into the studying of things that could benefit the society, are very rare to find nowadays, because this society is very lazy and we want everything immediately, instead of that we should deepen our knowledge.]]> 2023-08-14 16:10:35 UTC https://padlet.com/laurastefann/s1n4h5coi0mihi4s/wish/2661624224 Jeronimo Gutierez Gutierez https://padlet.com/laurastefann/s1n4h5coi0mihi4s/wish/2661631016 Mozart the genius


Mozart as you well know was the most important character in the renacentist times, even now his music is still present as an influence to contemporanean music.

Mozart did great pieces as the composer he was , but apart from that he changed the art as we know it in the clacissim times, the impact of his music went beyond the music community and impacted on the royal, poor and medium class of society, changing the formats of the operas and making the music a way to express emotions and feelings through Melodies and not music background music as it was used to be.

Mozart change the clacisim era and started the romanticism era, no it wasn’t Beethoven, it was Mozart with his last piece, lacrimosa, the end of a genius and the start of the most beautiful era of the music.

Lamar's music is rhythmically sophisticated and filled with coloristic allusions to the past.
He is the first rapper in history to win the Pulitzer Prize, which says a lot about how his lyrics touch social issues so well.

Lamar's thought-provoking content and lyrical ability became evident as he dove into subjects such as racial inequality, self-discovery, and American hunger. One of the best examples of this is To Pimp A Butterfly, released in 2015, and often regarded as his magnum opus and one of if not the best music album of all time. Through this album, he expresses his discomfort with US politics, racist issues, and him leaving his home, compton.

Kendrick's skill in combining searing rap and harmonic melody has seen his songs resonate in other communities different than his.

Overall, Lamar's unique style, powerful messages, and ability to connect with people have earned him the name of one of the if not the greatest musical artist of our time.

Marie curie did fundamental research on radioactivity and discovered the chemical elements polonium and radium. Her research helped stabish foundations or radion therapy in cancer treatment and also worked on methods to isolate radioactive elements.
She shared the nobel prize in physics with pierre curie(her husband) for research on radioactivity.

Talking about her personality, she was extremely analytical, objective, and logical. Marie used to approach interactions with others in a logical way, rather than relying on emotion
 Marie Curie's life as a scientist was one which flourished because of her ability to observe, deduce and predict She was also arguably the first woman to make such a significant contribution to science.

 Marie left a profound impact on the history of science due to her preservance,dedication,and achiviements at a time when woman had a limited access to education and scientific opportunities.Her work not only contributed to the understanding of radioactivity but also paved the way fot future research in nuclear physics and chemistry.

Marilyn Monroe or Normal Jeane was born at june 1 of 1926 in los Angeles, California, she was a model, actress and singer. Mostly known for her influence as a sex simbol and her role as the dumb blonde. 

She was raised in los angeles visiting a total of 12 foster families and an orphanage before getting married at sixteen. She was working on a factory for world war ll when she was discovered by a photographer from the fist Motion Picture Unit beginning a succesful modeling career that put her into the spotlight and got her secondary roles in movies. 

She rose to fame thanks to movies such as Clash by Night or Monkey Business. It was believed and said by many who have known her that she isn't the dumb blonde that many labeled her as. Diferent friends and coworkers have remarked her intelligence and thoughness when navigating the hardships of life and even I, believe this is true. 

In my opinion, Marilyn was a very intelligent individual, she has made impact until these days even, and I believe that her intelligence was overshadowed by her beauty and the stereotypes that were putten on her, but even with that, she managed to use those judgements to her advantage and make a longlasting legacy with it.]]> 2023-08-14 16:24:39 UTC https://padlet.com/laurastefann/s1n4h5coi0mihi4s/wish/2661633909 Samuel Rojas https://padlet.com/laurastefann/s1n4h5coi0mihi4s/wish/2661634269 Nicola Tesla
He was born in 10 july of 1856 and he had multiple nationalities(Austrian) and after normalized as American.
Nicola was a physicist, mathematician, electrical and mechanical engineer. All this dedications and jobs makes Tesla a smart person and a genius, why? Because Tesla's brain worked differtent as the other ones.
Tesla can't finish he's carrer as electrical engineer but that didn't stop his initiative, Tesla in a part of his life worked for Thomas Edison and he learned a lot of things there, but he left his job for bad work statement and therms that contradicted he's thoughts.
At this point maybe you think that all the time that Tesla worked with Thomas was for anything. But if we see Tesla started his AC electrical project with Thomas, they help each other for make one of the most important investigations and succes of the world and history.
Thanks to Tesla we can create things that we never imagine, for example the internet, the cars and a lot of incredible inventions. And if Tesla never discovered this way to make electricity maybe the human and our civilization...as we know it, would never search a form to create it.
In conclusion Tesla is one of the biggest genius of the human history...and we can do some actions and investigations with Ac electric project...
With that method we can do all we want, Tesla is only special.

His revolutionary contributions to theoretical physics reshaped our understanding of the universe and continue to shape scientific inquiry. His development of the theory of relativity challenged established paradigms, revolutionizing concepts of space, time, and gravity. Einstein's insights led to the advancement of technologies like GPS and medical imaging, impacting our daily lives.

However, this brilliance coexisted with a complex personal duality. While his scientific genius is celebrated, his treatment of his first wife, Mileva Marić, reflects a troubling aspect of his character. Their relationship endured difficulties, and Einstein's letters often revealed demeaning comments toward her. This dichotomy raises questions about the ethical considerations surrounding great minds and their interpersonal behavior.

In summary, Albert Einstein undeniably remains an incredible genius whose theories have transformed humanity's understanding of the universe. His contributions continue to reverberate in scientific progress. Nevertheless, his dual nature highlights the importance of critically examining the personal lives of influential figures, acknowledging both their brilliance and flaws. This nuanced perspective on Einstein's legacy reminds us that human excellence can be marred by imperfections, urging us to approach history with a balanced view.]]> 2023-08-14 16:25:33 UTC https://padlet.com/laurastefann/s1n4h5coi0mihi4s/wish/2661634468 Stephen Hawking - Santiago Zuluaga https://padlet.com/laurastefann/s1n4h5coi0mihi4s/wish/2661637649 Stephen Hawking was born on January 8, 1942 in Oxford, England, and if his name is known to us it is because Stephen Hawking was a great and renowned theoretical physicist in the second half of the twentieth century who throughout his life managed to have a great impact in the areas of physics, cosmology and astrology, but this will be dealt with later, we must first focus on how were the early stages of his life and his hard process of survival but admirable fight for his life.

Stephen from a very early age was fascinated by the fact of being able to discover what is beyond us, what is the origin of everything we know and what is the meaning of everything that has been and will be, all these incredible questions led Stephen to study cosmology at the University of Cambridge in England. While studying at Cambridge University, Stephen was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) at the age of 21, just as he was about to get married. The doctors gave him a maximum of two years to live, but this did not matter to Stephen since this warrior lived another 55 years in which he made the most of his life while he was losing his abilities to walk, speak, breathe and manage his hands, during these years Stephen was working on his theories and studies, including the best known "Theory of Everything" which tells us that our universe originated as a result of a cosmic explosion known as the "Big Bang" that occurred billions of years, and in this theory it also tells us that the universe is constantly expanding at all times following a natural order.

In 1988 Stephen Hawking published a book called “A Brief History ” aimed to teach basic concepts at non-scientists an to explain fundamental questions of the universe.

Stephen Hawking passed away on March 14, 2018, leaving behind a monumental legacy in the realm of science.]]> 2023-08-14 16:30:52 UTC https://padlet.com/laurastefann/s1n4h5coi0mihi4s/wish/2661637649 Gabriel García Márquez or the loneliness of the existence (Pablo José Rivas Soto) https://padlet.com/laurastefann/s1n4h5coi0mihi4s/wish/2661639502 Gabriel García Márquez was a very interesting Colombian writer borned in the town of Aracataca (Atlántico)  winner of the Nobel Prize of Literature in 1982 for the magical narrative on his novels like "Cien Años de Soledad". García Márquez's first years of life was full of fantastic histories that tell him his grandparents, his grandfather, the ex coronel Nicolas Ricardo Márquez, a liberal military, tell him about the war, the government and the communist ideas, and his grandmother, Tranquilina Iguaran, tell him about the strange world of the dreams, the familiar spirits, the death and a big and fantastic world of mythos and legends of the coast of Colombia.

Before his childhood, García Márquez went to life with his parents and brothers at the province of Sucre. Thanks to the obligation of his parents, went to study Laws in the cities of Bogota and Zipaquira. In Bogota, he meets Fidel Castro and starts a friendly that remains for a lot of years. The dark days after the murder of the Presidential candidate Jorge Eliécer Gaitán, with the starts of the age named "The Violence", García Márquez started to wrote like a journalist in the newspaper of "El Espectador" in the city of Barranquilla. In this newspaper, he published his first short tales aftering published in a anthology named "Ojos de Perro Azul". A interesting narrative where the magic, the dreams and the thoughts of his characters lived in strange histories, doesn't loved by the critics in a first impression.

Like a correspondent of "El Espectador" in Paris, Gabriel García Márquez knews the most important figures of the world of Latin America literature. Although the economic problems in his stay in Paris, García Márquez, started in this pretty town his successful career like writer.

In his years like a homeless journalist, García Márquez wrotes novels like "La Hojarasca", "El coronel no tiene quién le escriba" or "Relato de un náufrago". Like his first short tales, his first novels didn't had a good reception by the critics. For example, the brother in law of Borges, one of the most important influences of Gabo, gave him a really bad critic about "La Hojarasca" where the man said him that he must dedicated to another thing. Although the career like writer was not working well, and his job like journalist didn't gave him and his family a good life, García Márquez went to Mexico with his wife, Mercedes, and his children, Rodrigo and Gonzalo. Its in Mexico where, in a familiar travel whit his family to the city of Acapulco, García Márquez received the idea of the novel that he want to write all his life. 

"Muchos años después frente al pelotón de fusilamiento, el coronel Aureliano Buendía, habría de recordar aquellas tarde remota en que su padre lo llevo a conocer el hielo" these are the first word of the Gabo's masterpiece, a large novel that he named "Cien Años de Soledad", where the fantasy, the reality, the history of Latin America and the history of his own family live together in the fictitious town of Macondo and its representing with the history of the Buendía family. Along to seven generations, the repetition of names and experiences of the members of the Buendía family, tell us about the eternal cycle of the history of Colombia and Latin America.

This novel gave to García Márquez the international recognition and the possibility to live with the income of the literature. In the future, novels like "El amor en los tiempos del colera", "El otoño del patriarca", "Noticia de un secuestro", "El general en su laberinto" or "Doce cuentos peregrinos", only increments the reputation of García Márquez like one of the most important writers in the history of Latin America and, even, in the history of the world. Throughout his novels, García Márquez give us the most beautiful reflection of the loneliness of our souls, the deep sadness wich common to all men of the earth and the history.
