Scientific progress in the 18th century in Europe, a period known as the “Age of Enlightenment,” was demystifying the universe with breakthroughs in chemistry, physics, and philosophy. But medical practices were still relying on centuries-old treatments, like leeching and bloodletting, which were painful and often ineffective. So when Franz Anton Mesmer, a charismatic physician from Vienna, began “healing” people in Paris using an alternative therapeutic practice he called “animal magnetism,” it got a lot of attention.
Mesmer claimed that an invisible magnetic fluid was the life force that connected all things and that he had the power to regulate it to restore health in his patients. He was a celebrity figure until the King of France, Louis XVI, commissioned a group of leading scientists to investigate his methods in 1784.
Benjamin Franklin headed the commission, and they debunked the existence of the magnetic fluid in the first-known blind experiment. Mesmer was ruined, but “mesmerism” didn’t end there. The report also acknowledged that Mesmer’s methods were making his patients feel better, which they attributed to the power of the human imagination. This experiment ultimately laid the groundwork for our understanding of the placebo effect and inspired an evolution of Mesmer’s practice into something more recognizable today: hypnotism.

Mesmer didn't impart his entire knowledge to his students. He was discredited by the commission seeing him as a treath to the medical profession. Some of his methods is still practiced by mesmerists. Extremely effective in alliviating physical and mental disorders. The 'lost knowledge' isn't entirely lost, to the curious and patient seeker the reward is priceless.

In 875 he built a wearable flying machine out of wood and silk. He launched himself from hills near Cordoba, his flight lasted 2-10 mins. He was the first person in human history to fly.

@@wesleywyndam-pryce5305 you can make a narrow definition of ‘flying’ where only you flew. But that won’t be fair. He might not be capitalist enough like the Wright Brothers where they sold their invention but Abbas Ibn Firnas was the first human to attempt to fly (and did). Also the intro didn’t talk about flying per se, I’ve quoted their exact sentence in the original comment^. They said ‘human beings left ground for the first time’ which is factually wrong. Look whoever flew in 1783 or later on when Wright Brothers flew, they both contributed greatly in human advancements/achievements but the first human to ever fly to attempt to fly was Abbas ibn Firnas.
