Question

scientist who are absorbed the liveliness of frog even after the removal of brainies​

Answer 1

Answer:

The scientist, Luigi Galvani, must have been ecstatic. Over the past several years, he had come to believe that electricity was linked to movement. He had already shown that his static electricity generator made frog legs twitch in controlled laboratory conditions. Here was a piece of evidence to improve his theory: a connection between naturally occurring electricity and movement. In those moments, Galvani must have felt like he was on to something. Maybe this was the key to movement, the key to life!

In the years that followed, the lightning experiment became a piece of Galvani’s magnum opus: the theory that animals generate electricity – and they use this intrinsic electricity to make their body move. This theory of “animal electricity” sent shockwaves throughout the scientific community, medical community, and the communities of everyday people.

The first reverberations hit the community of scientists studying movement. Up until Galvani’s time, the field of movement studies was a chaotic scientific wilderness. In the 18th century, scientists held many different beliefs regarding the impetus that caused muscles to contract, many of them mystical in nature. Many scientists and doctors still believed in a theory harking back to the Ancient Greeks. They believed the body was governed by pneuma, a psychic fluid that was said to control all movements.

As a result, the scientific climate was replete with superstition and tribal alliances. As one member of the Royal Society of London observed (a mere three years before Galvani published his results), “No argument from fact has been employed to prove any [theory of muscular movements]: I shall therefore leave them as mere chimeras of the brain” (emphasis mine).
