Boyle was born in a noble family, and a well-off family provided good material conditions for his study and future scientific research. When he was a child, he didn't seem particularly clever. He is quiet and stutters. No game can fascinate him, but he is the easiest to learn compared with his brothers. He loves reading and often never leaves his feet.
At the age of eight, his father sent him to Eton College in the suburbs of London and studied in a boarding school for aristocratic children for three years. Later, accompanied by a tutor, he and his brother Frank spent two years in Geneva, Switzerland, one of the education centers in Europe at that time. Here he studied French, practical mathematics, art and other courses. More importantly, Switzerland is the base of Protestantism that emerged in the Reformation, and the Protestant doctrine reflecting bourgeois ideology influenced him.
Since then, although Boyle did not participate in any faction in practical actions, he has always been inclined to revolution in thought.
Personality achievement
Boyle proved through experiments that gold is not afraid of fire, will not be decomposed by fire, and will not produce salt, sulfur or mercury under the action of fire; However, it can be mixed with other metals to form an alloy, or it can be dissolved in aqua regia, and the obtained product can be restored to its original state after proper treatment.
He experimented that sand and lime alkali can be mixed together and melted into transparent glass after heating; The produced glass will never decompose into soil, water and other things. Boiling ash alkali and grease will become soap, but the product obtained by heating soap is completely different from alkali and grease.
