Discovery of Human Body Metals Effect

Albert Einstein won the Nobel Prize for physics for his work on light hitting metal and producing photons even though others saw this effect also. My younger brother Jonathan and I in 1973 and 1974 were at the Nordic Inn Resort in Itasca and we discovered that if one puts one’s tongue on a cold surface like a metal rail, the tongue can stick to the metal and then be released with application of warm water.

My brother and I were at a patio at Nordic Inn Resort in Itasca. 7 year old children were once seen as rascals to play with their tongues on metal rails, but my brother and I were independent discoverers of the tongue can attach to a metal rail during winter. The Human Body metals effect has lessons to teach about travel above the Arctic Circle during winter. The skin can attach to medal surfaces and be hard to detach. I had some difficulty detaching my tongue.

Human body is like light having an effect on metals. Somewhat like Albert Einstein’s work on light impinging on metals, the human body attaches to a metal surface. Photoelectric effects are also seen with our human body research on metals effect too.
