Joseph-Antoine Ferdinand Plateau (BBC)

Today we celebrate the 218 anniversary of Belgian physicist and mathematician, creator of the Phenakistoscope, Joseph-Antoine Ferdinand Plateau.
He lost his eyesight before reaching middle age, some say because of his obsessive experiments with light (he watched the sun for periods of 25 seconds, investigating about persistence of luminous impressions on the retina), others say as consequence of a disease.
His research about luminous persistence leaded him among other things, to create the Phenakistoscope, inspiration for the birth of cinema, later on.

En este día conmemoramos el 218 aniversario del nacimiento del matemático y físico belga, creador del Fenaquitoscopio, Joseph-Antoine Ferdinand Plateau.
Perdió la vista antes de llegar a la madurez, se dice que por sus experimentos (se dice que observaba el sol por 25 segundos, tratando de descifrar la persistencia de luz en la retina), o por una enfermedad.
Sus estudios sobre la persistencia de la luz lo llevaron a la creación del Fenaquitoscopio, algunos dicen, inspiración para el consecuente nacimiento del cine.
