John Tyndall            Origin/Culture/Country: Irish

John Tyndall: was a prominent 19th century Irish physicist. His initial scientific fame arose in the 1850s from his study of diamagnetism, which led to his appointment as successor to Michael Faraday at the Royal Institution in 1862.Tyndall's first original work in physical science was in his experiments on magnetism and diamagnetic polarity, on which he worked from 1850 to 1855. While he was still lecturing on natural philosophy at Queenwood College, his magnetic investigations made him known among the leading scientists of the day and, through the initiative of Sir Edward Sabine, treasurer of the Royal Society, he was elected F.R.S. in June 1852. In 1850 he had made Michael Faraday's acquaintance and, shortly before the Ipswich meeting of the British Association in 1851 he began a lasting friendship with Thomas Huxley.
