Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Below is the list of people whose names are used in chemical element names.  Of the 118 chemical elements, 19 are connected with the names of 20 people.  15 elements were named to honor 16 scientists.  Four other elements have indirect connection to the names of non-scientists.  On top of this, a 21st person, a 17th scientist, has an implied connection to a 20th element. Only gadolinium and samarium occur in nature (along with gallium). The rest are synthetic.
