File:Jean-Antoine Nollet.jpg|link=Jean-Antoine Nollet (nonfiction)|1700: Priest and physicist [[Jean-Antoine Nollet (nonfiction)|Jean-Antoine Nollet]] born. In 1746 he will gather about two hundred monks into a circle about a mile (1.6 km) in circumference, with pieces of iron wire connecting them. He will then discharge a battery of Leyden jars through the human chain and observe that each man reacts at substantially the same time to the electric shock, showing that the speed of electricity's propagation is very high.
