“Give a cannibal access to a physics conference and he’ll eat Faraday”

“Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day; teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime” is a popular saying. There are many jocular variations involving English scientist Michael Faraday (1791-1867), whose name can sound like “for a day.”

Wikipedia: Michael Faraday
Michael Faraday FRS (/ˈfærədeɪ, -di/ FARR-ə-day, -⁠dee; 22 September 1791 – 25 August 1867) was an English scientist who contributed to the study of electromagnetism and electrochemistry. His main discoveries include the principles underlying electromagnetic induction, diamagnetism and electrolysis. Although Faraday received little formal education, he was one of the most influential scientists in history. It was by his research on the magnetic field around a conductor carrying a direct current that Faraday established the concept of the electromagnetic field in physics. Faraday also established that magnetism could affect rays of light and that there was an underlying relationship between the two phenomena. He similarly discovered the principles of electromagnetic induction, diamagnetism, and the laws of electrolysis. His inventions of electromagnetic rotary devices formed the foundation of electric motor technology, and it was largely due to his efforts that electricity became practical for use in technology.
