I thought this could be a cool game. Basically, you're given the "answer", and you give the question(though it is not necessary to answer in the form of a question), and after you get it right, you post another "answer" for the next person.
And no Google people!
I'll start it off with an easy one.
He is the fastest man in the world.

correct. Now your turn to post the "answer" for somebody else to answer. Though maybe I should've said "Statisically he is the fastest man, on land" Either way, it's true.

I like that we are getting into science.
This scientists, very picky about his publishings, would have advanced mathematics and physics 50 years with all of his notes that he DIDN'T publish.

Also no. Think more physics and mathematics. His name is on a very key feature of basic linear algebra, and electromagnetic physics. He is also a german and did most of his work in the early 19th century.
Further hint: His law in electrostatics i was referring to looks like this:
∮E·dA = Q/ε0

Um......the sound barrier was broken along time ago......in case you did not know.....
and....um.....the Vulcans (who already had Warp technology) made "First Contact" when they saw that humans had also achieved it. So since Vulcans had it earlier, human could not have achieved it FIRST.
If, in STAR TREK lore some civilization had it before the Vulcans, I don't know.

When I specifically referred to the crew of the FIRST warp-speed flight in Trek lore, the only one I could have been referring to is the HUMAN one, since no other crew is known or written of at this date. Ergo, the crew of the Phoenix in First Contact.
And yes. I know exactly when the sound barrier was broken, who broke it and the name of the plane he was flying in.
Do you?
