Remarks-

Generally considered as the most brilliant scientist since Einstein.

A question answered:-  

How is gold produced?

The collision of neutron stars is one way of producing gold. It can also be formed from fast neutron capture in supernovas. Gold is rare everywhere, not just on Earth. The reason it's rare is that by nuclear-binding energy peaks at iron, making it hard to produce heavier elements in general. Also strong electromagnetic repulsion must be overcome by the nuclear force in order to form stable heavy nuclei like gold.

Pavlov

3. Ivan Pavlov (1849-1936) studied drooling dogs. While that may seem like an odd thing to research, Pavlov made some fascinating and important observations by studying when, how, and why dogs drooled when introduced to varied, controlled stimuli. During this research, Pavlov discovered "conditioned reflexes."
