"Insane", for any scientist who believes he can bring life to inanimate flesh must be insane

Scientists, especially around the turn of the century prior to powerful societal forces of control, were making extraordinary discoveries that frightened a basically still agrarian and primitive humanity. For example, Nicola Tesla was shooting man-made bolts of lightning up high into the ionosphere in an attempt to communicate with Mars and respond to extraterrestrial signals that actually were coming from Jupiter and ceased during his experiments. Electricity was rather unusual back then, better yet, bolts of it ripping straight up through the blackness of night into space. Local residents near his Colorado Springs and even more remote lab in the mountains near Ophir, Colorado, were rather shocked by all that.

In England, the note "mad" is indignant or insane, as you already know. The utilization is probable about equivalent and the meaning will remember on the context of the sentence. So, we commonly would say, "you spilled grape juice on the carpet, your mum (we do not use "mom") is gonna be mad". we may also say "That guy's runnin bare in the course of the site visitors, he's mad". although, we also use "loopy", "nuts", psycho and insane as you do in us of a of america. yet, as I stated, using the note "mad" in England is probable 50/50.

Actually the original definition of "mad" was insane. It had nothing to do with anger. But a greatly angered person soon was going mad with anger. Then they were just mad.
so when you are saying you are mad what you are actually saying is that you are crazy, insane, off your rocker.

Someone who takes things over board. Someone who will do whatever it takes to finish their project, no matter the cost. Someone who is willing to break the rules, and doesn't care what happens. And typically someone who isn't quite all there, so they're experimenting with things that they shouldn't be!
