Giovanni Aldini / 乔瓦尼·阿尔迪尼

Giovanni Aldini appears in 68.疯狂实验史：哎！这该死的求知欲… as the episode’s most vivid Scientific Public Spectacle case. The source describes him moving beyond electrified frogs and animal parts to public demonstrations on freshly executed bodies, where electrical current caused facial and muscular movements that terrified spectators.

In the episode, Aldini matters because his work sits at a boundary: it is connected to early electrical physiology and to the cultural world that made Frankenstein / 《弗兰肯斯坦》 plausible, but it also shows how experiment can become spectacle before modern Experimental Science Ethics has stable guardrails.

Connections

• 68.疯狂实验史：哎！这该死的求知欲… - source episode.
• Frankenstein / 《弗兰肯斯坦》 and [[MaryShelley|Mary Shelley / 玛丽·雪莱]] - literary-science context for galvanic animation.
• Scientific Public Spectacle - core concept for Aldini’s public demonstrations.
• Experimental Science Ethics - broader ethical frame.
• Observation Before Inference - method contrast: bodily movement is observable, but interpreting it as life or restoration would overreach.
