If you like movies, you will appreciate Monday's Google Doodle celebrating the 218th birthday of Joseph Antoine Ferdinand Plateau.
Doesn't sound familiar? Well, Plateau was a Belgian physicist who discovered the science behind making movies. That's right, without him, we might be living in a world without Hollywood. Plateau invented the phenakistoscope in 1832. The device has a spinning disk with images drawn on the sides in a series of movements. The drawings appear to be in motion when viewed through a mirror. Plateau was born in Brussels in 1801, the son of an accomplished painter.
