16 Real-Life Mad Scientists Deleted From History Books

Hey, science is awesome, you know? It has given us many incredible things, such as the genetic code to peanut butter cups. And even though, clearly, the pressure eventually reaches the world’s largest great thinkers. We realize you, scientists; sometimes life needs to push you to the breaking point, and you just say, "Screw it," and abandon the entire process.
The research lab is located down a staircase, away from the light. It has fizzing glassware but also arcane electro-mechanical machines. This same scientist is solitary, naive, as well as egotistical. He informs "The Foundation" regarding his humanistic goals, but his mammal essence tends to drive him to paranormal happenings.
The image of a mad scientist is overpowering. We can't dismiss it as just another work of fictional works. When we relax our defense, we regress to this image of science and technology. We must inquire about where it came from and what it means.
