The calm and consistent man, after being hit in the brain, became vulgar and sharp. How it helped science (video)…
The man in the photo is Phineas Gates. In 1848 he was foreman of the Vermont Railways. In all his tasks was to place powerful explosives in holes in the rocks, to create artificial explosions to open the project. One day, he accidentally slipped a one-meter-long iron plug into a hole. The cap ignited an explosion that shook the heavy pole out of the hole.
It was about 2.5 cm thick and with the same strong momentum was immediately nailed to Gates’ head. Gates’ brain uses technology to pierce his cheek and protrude from the top of his skull, creating a hole in his brain. The man began to scream in pain. Everyone was sure he was going to die. A few hours later, after being taken to the hospital, he got up and started talking. The dying foreman left the doctors speechless trying to give a logical explanation. After a while, the signs of Gates’ behavior began to clear the landscape.
He had completely changed his personality. The honest, trustworthy and hardworking as his friends and associates called him was lost. The young Phineas Gates was vulgar and offensive. After he was released from the hospital, he returned to work, which interested him a little more. He insulted, hit and mocked his colleagues. The owner was forced to fire him.
He himself ended up a spectacle in the circus. He lived 13 years after the accident, destitute and epileptic. After his death, doctors dug up his remains, looking for answers. The Harvard University documentary was based on Gates’s skull kept in the educational institution. The pictures show the face of the unfortunate man’s skull and the metal object that was stuck in κεφάλ κεφάλ’s head.
Gates’ brain with the help of technology…
