On this day, February 24th of 1810, marks the 213 years passing of Henry Cavendish.

He was known for the discovery of what he called inflammable air. He also made a milestone of studying air and calculation of density of the earth. He first noticed that air was perhaps made up of “different kind of air” which led to the discovery of hydrogen. He collected hydrogen by collecting the gas given off by the reaction of metals and strong acids. It can produce water and we know that reaction currently as, 2 H2 (g) + O2 (g) → H2O (l).

In 1997, the team of British scientists worked with the direction of Ian Wilmut at the Roslin Institute near Edinburg which announced the birth of Dolly the sheep, which was the first clone of an adult mamal.

A female Finn Dorset sheep and was also known as Dolly the sheep. Lived from 1996 to 2003. She was produced by British developmental biologist and his colleagues in Scotland, Roslin Institute near Edinburg. The successful cloning was a milestone of science breakthrough. It clears the presumption and wide debate about the impossibility of cloning and misuse of mammalian cloning technology. Around that time, humans were not surprised about the power of cloning and its possible result to human progression.
