Here’s tonight’s Final Jeopardy answer and question for Monday, December 12, 2016:
Final Jeopardy! category: SCIENTISTS
Final Jeopardy! clue/answer: In a 1694 Royal Society lecture, he suggested an astronomical cause for the Biblical flood in Genesis
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Bridget McNulty, an analytical chemist from Phoenixville, Pennsylvania
Amy Young, a public health graduate student from Corvallis, Oregon
Tim Aten, an editor from Vermilion, Ohio (6-day total: $101,899)
In case you haven’t heard: Upcoming contestant Cindy Stowell passed away on December 5; she had competed on the show with stage IV cancer. Remember to watch on December 13. Her friends and family will also appreciate donations on her behalf to the Cancer Research Institute.
Halley’s 1694 lecture “About The Cause of the Universal Deluge” advanced the theory of periodic catastrophism and specifically suggested (two years before William Whiston’s theory), that the Great Flood was caused by a comet. Because (obviously) such claims were seen as controversial in 1694, he did ask for the suppression of the publication of these lectures.
