Even as a young child, Mayer showed an intense interest with various mechanical mechanisms. He was a young man who performed various experiments of the physical and chemical variety. In fact, one of his favorite hobbies was creating various types of electrical devices and air pumps. It was obvious that he was intelligent. Hence, Mayer attended Eberhard-Karls University in May 1832. He studied medicine during his time there. </p><p>During 1837, he and some of his friends were arrested for wearing the colors of a forbidden organization. The consequences for this arrest included a one year expulsion from the college and a brief period of incarceration. This diversion sent Mayer traveling to <a href="/wiki/Switzerland" title="Switzerland">Switzerland</a>, <a href="/wiki/France" title="France">France</a>, and the <a href="/wiki/Dutch_East_Indies" title="Dutch East Indies">Dutch East Indies</a>. Mayer drew some additional interest in mathematics and engineering from his friend Carl Baur through private tutoring. During 1841, Mayer returned to Heilbronn to practice medicine, but physics became his new passion. </p><p>During June 1841, he completed his first scientific paper entitled "On the Quantitative and Qualitative Determination of Forces". It was largely ignored by other professionals in the area. Then, Mayer became interested in the area of heat and its motion. He presented a value in numerical terms for the mechanical equivalent of heat. He also was the first person to describe the vital chemical process now referred to as oxidation as the primary source of energy for any living creature. </p><p>During 1848 he calculated that in the absence of a source of energy the Sun would cool down in only 5000 years, and he suggested that the impact of meteorites kept it hot.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>Since he was not taken seriously at the time, his achievements were overlooked and credit was given to <a href="/wiki/James_Joule" class="mw-redirect" title="James Joule">James Joule</a>. Mayer almost committed suicide after he discovered this fact. He spent some time in mental institutions to recover from this and the loss of some of his children. Several of his papers were published due to the advanced nature of the physics and chemistry. He was awarded an honorary doctorate in 1859 by the philosophical faculty at the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Tubingen" class="mw-redirect" title="University of Tubingen">University of Tubingen</a>. His overlooked work was revived in 1862 by fellow physicist <a href="/wiki/John_Tyndall" title="John Tyndall">John Tyndall</a> in a lecture at the London Royasl Institution. In July 1867, Mayer published "Die Mechanik der Warme." This publication dealt wiith the mechanics of heat and its motion. In November 1867, Mayer was awarded personal nobility (von Mayer) which is the German equivalent of a British knighthood. Julius Robert von Mayer died from tuberculosis on March 20, 1878 in Germany. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Mayer's_place_in_the_history_of_physics"><span id="Mayer.27s_place_in_the_history_of_physics"></span>Mayer's place in the history of physics</h2></div> <p>Mayer was the first person to state the law of the conservation of energy, one of the most fundamental tenets of modern day physics. The law of the conservation of energy states that the total mechanical energy of a system remains constant in any isolated system of objects that interact with each other only by way of forces that are <a href="/wiki/Conservative_force" title="Conservative force">conservative</a>. </p><p>Mayer's first attempt at stating the conservation of energy was a paper he sent to <a href="/wiki/Johann_Christian_Poggendorff" title="Johann Christian Poggendorff">Johann Christian Poggendorff</a>'s <i><a href="/wiki/Annalen_der_Physik" title="Annalen der Physik">Annalen der Physik</a></i>, in which he postulated a conservation of force (<i>Erhaltungssatz der Kraft</i>). However, owing to Mayer's lack of advanced training in <a href="/wiki/Physics" title="Physics">physics</a>, it contained some fundamental mistakes and was not published. Mayer continued to pursue the idea steadfastly and argued with the <a href="/wiki/T%C3%BCbingen" title="Tübingen">Tübingen</a> physics professor <a href="/wiki/Johann_Gottlieb_N%C3%B6rremberg" title="Johann Gottlieb Nörremberg">Johann Gottlieb Nörremberg</a>, who rejected his <a href="/wiki/Hypothesis" title="Hypothesis">hypothesis</a>. Nörremberg did, however, give Mayer a number of valuable suggestions on how the idea could be examined experimentally; for example, if <a href="/wiki/Kinetic_energy" title="Kinetic energy">kinetic energy</a> transforms into <a href="/wiki/Heat" title="Heat">heat</a> energy, <a href="/wiki/Water" title="Water">water</a> should be warmed by <a href="/wiki/Oscillation" title="Oscillation">vibration</a>. </p><p>Mayer not only performed this demonstration, but determined also the quantitative factor of the transformation, calculating the mechanical equivalent of heat. The result of his investigations was published 1842 in the May edition of <a href="/wiki/Justus_von_Liebig" title="Justus von Liebig">Justus von Liebig</a>'s <i><a href="/wiki/Annalen_der_Chemie_und_Pharmacie" class="mw-redirect" title="Annalen der Chemie und Pharmacie">Annalen der Chemie und Pharmacie</a></i>.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> In his booklet <i>Die organische Bewegung im Zusammenhang mit dem Stoffwechsel</i> (<i>The Organic Movement in Connection with the Metabolism</i>, 1845) he could specified the numerical value of the mechanical equivalent of heat: at first as 365 <a href="/wiki/Kilogram-force" title="Kilogram-force">kgf</a>·m/kcal<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup>, later as 425 kgf·m/kcal; the modern values are 4.184 <a href="/wiki/Kilojoule" class="mw-redirect" title="Kilojoule">kJ</a>/kcal (426.6 kgf·m/kcal) for the thermochemical calorie and 4.1868 kJ/kcal (426.9 kgf·m/kcal) for the international steam table calorie. </p><p>This relation implies that, although work and heat are different forms of energy, they can be transformed into one another.
