1. Murphy’s Laws
Born in 1917, Edward A. Murphy Jr. was one of the engineers in the US Air Force who conducted experiments on rockets in 1949.
He was studying the effects of acceleration on humans.
In one of the experiments, an accelerometer had to be attached to 16 different points on the pilot.
The sensor could only be attached with an adhesive in two ways. Someone managed to install all 16 sensors wrong.
Thereupon, Murphy announced his first statements, which would later be described as law, at a press conference.
Within months, “Murphy’s Laws” had spread among those working in the engineering field.
Murphy’s Laws are based on the following statement:
“If there is more than one possibility to accomplish a task and one of these possibilities will have unintended consequences or disaster; Surely that possibility will come true.”
