His whole life was

The chronicle of "thunder and lightning, brightness and grandeur".

He's that oneThe person who separated God from thunder and lightning.

In the 18th century, Westerners also referred to lightning as' God's fire '. Franklin didn't believe it. He began studying the phenomenon of electricity in 1746, repeatedly experimenting, summarizing and generalizing, and published the famous book "Experiments and Observations in Electricity" in 1751, which caused a sensation in Europe. He was the first to correctly explain the properties of electric charges, put forward the hypothesis that electricity is an "element", and discoveredLaw of conservation of chargeFor the first time, the concept of positive and negative in mathematics was used to explain two types of charges - from then on, electricity had a solid theoretical foundation.He is not only a scientist, but also a person who created a country.Franklin participated in the drafting of the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution, making significant contributions to the final victory of the War of Independence. In 1900, he was selected as one of the first to be inducted into the National Museum of American History. The rationality of scientists and the foresight of politicians merge into one in him. Franklin's life is a vivid footnote to 'dispelling ignorance with the light of reason'. He lit a scientific lamp in the dark ages, which illuminated the entire process of human civilization.

他不仅是科学家，更是缔造一个国家的人。 富兰克林参与了美国《独立宣言》和美国宪法的起草工作，为独立战争的最后胜利作出了重大贡献。1900年，他被首批选入美国历史名人纪念馆。科学家的理性与政治家的远见，在他身上合二为一。富兰克林的一生，是“以理性之光驱散蒙昧”的生动注脚。他在黑暗的时代点亮了一盏科学的灯，这盏灯照亮了整个人类文明的进程。
