I just finished “An Unprofitable Experience” when I remembered Rudolf Clausius’ education. He started his education in a school room taught by his father who was a strict Protestant minister. By having a minister as a teacher Rudolf received a very bias education that favored religion. When Rudolf attended high school in Stettin did he receive a education based on science and facts. Due to his education, Rudolf later tries and succeeds to combine both religion and science to make his Law of Energy Conservation. If Clausius didn’t have an education based partly on religion and partly on science, he may have never discovered everything that he did.
