Some materials are phosphorescent, meaning that they can absorb light energy from the Sun, and then re-emit this energy later. Many objects people use today are phosphorescent, including glow-in-the-dark plastics. Some plastic objects have phosphorescent materials in them, which causes them to glow after they are exposed to light. In 1896, one year after x-rays were discovered, scientist Henri Becquerel hypothesized that uranium might work in this way as well. So he exposed a sample of uranium to sunlight, and then was pleased to discover that the uranium continued to emit energy even after it was taken out of the light. However, after several straight days of cloudy skies over his laboratory, Becquerel was shocked to discover that the energy kept coming from the uranium, even without sunlight. What had Becquerel accidentally discovered?

Explanation:

After the Becquerel came to know the discovery of X-ray by Roentgen  Becquerel began looking for a connection between the phosphorescence  and the newly discovered X-rays. His thought was that phosphorescent uranium salts might absorb sunlight and reemit it as x rays.

To experiment this  he exposed a sample of uranium to sunlight, and then was pleased to discover that the uranium continued to emit energy even after it was taken out of the light. However, after several straight days of cloudy skies over his laboratory, Becquerel was shocked to discover that the energy kept coming from the uranium,  

He reported that the uranium salts emitted radiation without any stimulation from sunlight.  He did further tests to confirm that sunlight was indeed unnecessary, that the uranium salts emitted the radiation on their own.

Initially he thought the effect was due to particularly long-lasting phosphorescence, but he soon discovered that non-phosphorescent uranium compounds exhibited the same effect. After that he announced that the element uranium was indeed what was emitting the radiation.  

At first he also believed his rays were similar to x-rays, but his further experiments showed that unlike x-rays, which are neutral, his rays could be deflected by electric or magnetic fields which was against his expectations. Finally “Radioactivity” term was given to describe this new phenomenon.

This story of becquerel is well known example of accidental discovery.

that's just how they are

explanation:

you can't control another persons decisions, all you can do is ask that they respect yours. relationships are hard because you have to put the effort into making sure that another person feels seen, heard, and loved. as time goes on, it gets easier, you learn how to do these things without thinking. loving them becomes as easy as breathing, but every relationship will have fights, and sometimes it'll feel like you're drowning, but as long as you can talk it out and compromise, because that's truly what loving another person is, is compromise, then you'll be okay. movies and tv shows have glamorized and romanticized (pardon the pun) what a relationship would be like. real relationships aren't perfectly timed kisses in the rain, zero fights until one big one ends everything, 6 month anniversaries. real relationships are sleepy confused kisses when one person has to leave for work earlier than the other,   real relationships are having small disagreements, real relationships are messy and confusing, real relationships is knowing that even if you're relationship may not last forever and this may not be the person you're going to spend the rest of your life with, that you love them, and you would do anything to see them happy. so yes, relationships are difficult, but so are many other things, relationships can be amazing but also stressful, and not just romantic i'm also talking about platonic relationships (although the primary example here was romantic) sometimes is best to leave friendships behind, so remember, always do whats going to you be happy in the long run.
