File:Julius Robert Mayer.jpg|link=Julius von Mayer (nonfiction)|1814: Physician and physicist [[Julius von Mayer (nonfiction)|Julius Robert von Mayer]] born. He will describe the vital chemical process now referred to as oxidation as the primary source of energy for any living creature; but his achievements will be overlooked and priority for the discovery of the mechanical equivalent of heat will be attributed to James Joule.
