Is it realy unimportant if there is a mineral named after a person?

I searched Google for glist and for biotit, neither comes up. Do you mean biotite? my apologies if your first language isn't English. jimfbleak 18:24 31 May 2003 (UTC)

I think biotite is right and glist(probably an old word?) is Mica. Sorry for my English, I´m Austrian.

Massia-Biot Glider is not by Jean-Baptiste Biot

I think J.B.Bio in List of early flying machines is other Bio because Biot's glider flied in 1887,when Jean Baptiste Biot was already dead. (I´m Japanese)

You are right. The Massia-Biot Glider is attributed to a "J. B. Biot", but this can not be the Jean-Baptiste Biot of this article. I can find no info on the Biot of "Massia and Biot" other than a possible photograph, who does not look like Jean-Baptiste. The "J. B." may even be a mistake, as someone may have confused the two Biots; Jean-Baptiste did work on ballons, but not gliders. --A D Monroe III 19:41, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Paradigm

I don't see how Biot 'changed the paradigm of physics', not in the Kuhnian sense at any rate. The section in the article just talks about his work, rather than his paradigm shift. Perhaps it would be better to omit talk of paradigms, and simple state what he did and did not do? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.137.122.153 (talk) 09:19, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"The time has come," the Walrus said,

"To talk of many things:

Of shoes—and ships—and sealing-wax—

Of paradigms—and kings"

A paradigm is a pattern.96.235.138.179 (talk) 02:39, 6 November 2017 (UTC)Nestor Yorkwich[reply]

Frankel

What is the "(Frankel)" in the section of Polarized light? Could it be a misspelling of Fresnel? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.117.120.73 (talk) 15:00, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Work with Arago on the Meridian

Biot's early work included his collaboration with Arago on the measurement of an arc of the meridian in France and Spain. This was immensely laborious and at times dangerous work. Arago carried on the work for longer than Biot, but Biot's contribution was important. By most standards this was 'noteworthy', but it is not mentioned in the present article.2A00:23C8:7907:4B01:F572:EB7F:E875:9957 (talk) 16:14, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
