Josh: 本期节目讲述了鲁道夫·狄塞尔发明柴油机的传奇故事,以及他神秘失踪的谜团。柴油机作为一项革命性的发明,极大地改变了世界,但其应用并非完全符合狄塞尔的初衷。节目中详细介绍了狄塞尔从孩童时期对机械的痴迷,到成年后克服重重困难,最终发明柴油机的历程。同时,节目也探讨了狄塞尔在第一次世界大战前后的复杂处境,以及他与德国政府和洛克菲勒家族的关系。最后,节目还对狄塞尔神秘失踪的原因进行了分析,并介绍了各种猜测和理论。 Chuck: 节目中,我补充了一些关于狄塞尔生平的细节,包括他早年生活中的困境,以及他与导师卡尔·冯·林德的关系。我还提到了狄塞尔除了发明柴油机外,还发明了冰块,以及他晚年对社会问题的思考和著述。此外,我还对狄塞尔失踪事件中的一些细节进行了补充说明,例如他失踪前给妻子留下的皮包,以及他失踪后被发现的遗物。 Eric Wickstrom: 哈佛大学神学院差点被卖掉,因为哈佛大学的原始宪章规定其宗旨是培养“博学的牧师”。
