		Stanley was no actor, the theory goes, but he enjoyed the coincidence that a “Will Shakspere” was a minor player in the company.
		The case for William Stanley as Shakespeare is a solid one, and its field is still an active one, without the pomp of the Baconian movement and the conspiracy theories of the Oxfordians.
		One final theory states that William Shakespeare, a small-time actor from the provinces, gave his name to a series of plays, the authors of which, for various reasons, wanted their identities hidden.

		In France, physicists and brothers Pierre and Paul-Jacques Curie experimentally demonstrate the generation of electricity in certain crystals subjected to mechanical stress, a phenomenon that quickly came to be known as piezoelectricity.
		German physicist Heinrich Hertz builds an apparatus for generating and detecting the electromagnetic waves predicted by the work of James Clerk Maxwell, becoming the first person to transmit and receive what later were called radio waves.

	George Westinghouse - Wikinfo
		Assisted by William Stanley, Westinghouse worked to refine the transformer design and build a practical AC power network.
		At one time, Westinghouse began to work on heat pumps that could provide heating and cooling, and even believed that he might be able to extract enough power in the process for the system to run itself.
		Any modern engineer would clearly see that Westinghouse was after a perpetual motion machine, and the British physicist Lord Kelvin, one of Westinghouse's correspondents, told him that he would be violating the laws of thermodynamics.

	Applications of Mathematics (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The modern, and to my mind true, theory is that mathematics is the abstract form of the natural sciences; and that it is valuable as a training of the reasoning powers not because it is abstract, but because it is a representation of actual things.
		To the physicist it is an indispensable characteristic.
		For a physicist mathematics is not just a tool by means of which phenomena can be calculated, it is the main source of concepts and principles by means of which new theories can be created.
