Jules Verne was not a scientist

Jules Verne is recognized for his ability to foresee the direction that science will take. The last inventions of his era and some that were only projects or even fantasies when he wrote about them are depicted in his novels. Jules Verne, however, never pursued a career in science.

In order to make up for it, the author read for many hours every day in a library in Amiens, where he lived. He wrote down a lot of notes on cards for later use. In addition, Jules Verne frequently questioned the scientists in his circle of friends and family. He found it simpler to meet and speak with scientists as he rose to fame.

While he was still living, his work inspired scientists' ardor, and this excitement persisted for a very long time. Jules Verne was cited by several scientists and explorers as having a significant influence on their decision to pursue their careers. You may name Yuri Gagarin, the first cosmonaut to travel to space, as one of them.
