The most badass physicist you’ve probably never heard of
Meet bad-ass mofo François Arago, in a profile by Greg Gbur. Fool got swagga.
“When he was seven years old, he tried to stab a Spanish solider with a lance.
When he was eighteen, he talked a friend out of assassinating Napoleon.
He once angered an archbishop so much that the holy man punched him in the face.
He has negotiated with bandits, been chased by a mob, broken out of prison.
He is: François Arago, the most interesting physicist in the world”
