  Oliver Heaviside - Wikipedia Mirror   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Heaviside showed mathematically that uniformly distributed inductance in a telegraph line would diminish both attenuation and distortion, and that, if the inductance were great enough and the insulation resistance not too high, the circuit would be distortionless while currents of all frequencies would be equally attenuated.
Michael Idvorsky Pupin later devised a means of extending the range of long-distance telephone communication, by placing loading coils (of wire) at intervals along the transmitting wire, which followed up on the ideas of Heaviside's research.
Heaviside died at Torquay in Devon, and is buried in Paignton cemetery.

Heaviside suffered from scarlet fever during his youth (and had a lasting impact on him; leaving him partly deaf).
In 1902, Heaviside proposed the existence of the Kennelly-Heaviside Layer of the ionosphere which bears his name (which was originally researched by Nikola Tesla around July 3, 1899).
Heaviside's proposal, coupled with Planck's law of fl body radiation, may have hampered the growth of radio astronomy for the detections of electromagnetic waves from celestial bodies till 1932 (and the development of high frequency radio transceivers).

 Michael Heaviside
Michael Wilson Heaviside, however, was not a native of Craghead.
Michael Heaviside gave the soldier water, dressed his wounds and then promised that he would return with help.
A few days later, on 21st July 1917, Private Michael Heaviside travelled by train to London and, in the forecourt of Buckingham Palace, was presented with his Victoria Cross by King George V. After the war, Michael Heaviside VC returned to work as a miner at Craghead.

 Heaviside   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
In 1902 Heaviside correctly predicted the existence of the ionosphere, an electrically conducting layer in the atmosphere, by means of which radio signals are transmitted around the earth's curvature.
Oliver W. Heaviside was born on May 18, 1850 in Camden Town, London, England, the youngest of four sons of Thomas Heaviside, an engraver and watercolorist, and Rachel Elizabeth West, a sister-in-law of the famous physicist Sir Charles Wheatstone.
In 1902, Oliver Heaviside and the American electrical engineer Arthur Edwin Kennelly independently and almost simultaneously, announced the probable existence of a layer of ionized gas high in the atmosphere that affects the propagation of radio waves.

 MICHAEL HEAVISIDE VC
Private Michael Heaviside was an experienced soldier when he won his Victoria Cross, having served with the Durham Light Infantry during the Boer War gaining the QSA (3 clasps) and KSA (2 clasps).
Michael Heaviside survived the war and died, aged 58, at Craghead, Co. Durham following a long illness owing to the effects of gas poisoning from the war.
He was buried in an unmarked grave in St. Thomas's Churchyard, Craghead, the family being unable to afford a headstone and because of the imminent beginning of WWII, the erection of a stone was forgotten.

 Heaviside (print-only)
Heaviside results on electromagnetism, impressive as they were, were overshadowed by the important methods in vector analysis which he developed in his investigations.
Heaviside was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1891, perhaps the greatest honour he received.
In 1902 Heaviside predicted that there was an conducting layer in the atmosphere which allowed radio waves to follow the Earth's curvature.

 Heaviside biography
Heaviside became increasingly deaf but he worked on his own researches into electricity.
Maxwell's treatise fascinated Heaviside and he gave up his job as a telegrapher and devoted his time to the study of the work.
Despite this hatred of rigour, Heaviside was able to greatly simplify Maxwell's 20 equations in 20 variables, replacing them by four equations in two variables.

 Heaviside biography
His idea was eventually patented by Michael Campbell of AT and T after he and George Pupin of Columbia University had shown it was possible to apply inductance in the form of uniformly spaced loading coils.
By 1875 Heaviside was becoming quite well-known and in 1877 his main research work was done.
Heaviside's work has been an inspiration to countless electrical engineers and mathematicians.

Michael D. Lemonick is a senior science writer at Time Magazine.
The starting point for much of the work was Michael Faraday's startling experiments, but equally bizarre intuitions earlier in the century.
Heaviside was not formally educated but instead emerged from the cutting edge of electrical work in the submarine telegraph cable industry.

The difference is composed of stress and its internal vector patterns - the internal energetic engines in local spacetime and local rest mass - in short, the energy trapped in the local medium.
Where electrical students meet this hidden problem, of course, is in the fact that the four vector Heaviside equations of EM are not closed.
Notice that Heaviside had to stick back in complex numbers, to get his spatial vectors to unite magnetism and electricity.

Heaviside designed an operational calculus which got the right answers to difficult problems.
Lord Kelvin's 1855 analysis of the problem was based on the theory that electricity traveled through a wire by diffusion, much like heat, and that the only parameters to consider were resistance and capacitance.
Heaviside's mathematical analysis, however, included inductance, and he was able to predict that adding inductance in the form of a coil would clear the distortion!

On 14th December, 1879 at the action on the Asmai Heights, near Kabul, Afghanistan, Captain Hammond defended the top of the hill with a rifle and fixed bayonet against large numbers of the enemy, while the 72nd Highlanders and Guides were retiring.
This he succeeded in doing, in spite of heavy gunfire, and found that the man was nearly demented with thirst and had been lying in the shell-hole for four days and three nights.
On 24th July 1900 during the action at Vredefort, South Africa, Captain Howse saw a trumpeter fall and went through very heavy crossfire to rescue the man. His horse was soon shot from under him and the captain continued on foot, reached the casualty and dressed his wound.

 Is my belief in science more scientific than your belief in God? | Ask MetaFilter
In order for a belief to become scientifically accepted, it needs to be tested and re-tested by different people who obtain consistent results (that's the definition of the scientific method, pretty much: repeatable tests of phenomena with predictable results that can be obtained by anyone who does the test).
Michael Crichton's A State of Fear is an attempt at discounting the scientific establishment's consensus about climate change.
I haven't read it but I read the foreword on his website, and to set up his thesis that the scientific community is wrong about climate change, he demonstrates that in the past the community was wrong about eugenics.
