apr 27, 602 BC - Static electricity
Description:
Thales first descovered the static electricity when he was cleaning his amber and he noticed that something was happening because when he tried to separate the two objects, a strange force appeared and both parts were attracted by themselves. This is caused when the movement of the two objects starts and the electrons of one object are transported to the other making it negative( has more electrons than protons) and the other positive(has less electrons than protons) and finally it creates an atraction between both. This discovery was a big step on technology because made lots of physiks and mathehmatiks start thinking and inventing more new and important objects.https://phys.org/news/2017-01-static-electricity-tiny.html
