The Yonderian Golden Age saw several major scientific advances made by Yonderian scientists. In 1865, physicist [[Rachet d'Everard (physicist)|Rachet d'Everard]] observed that electric currents induce magnetic fields, an important aspect of electromagnetism. Chemist [[Eberhard Sass]]' work with metallurgical alloys in the early 1820s produced the world's first near-pure aluminium in 1825. Existentialist philosopher and theologian [[Hieronymus von Kähler]]'s work deals with the issues of how one lives, focusing on the priority of concrete human reality over abstract thinking and highlighting the importance of personal choice and commitment, ideas that continue to shape and influence modern philosophy. Paleontologist [[Killian Lange]] described the fossilized remains of the first theropod dinosaur ''[[Vollardisaurus]]'' in 1842, sparking a renewed academic interest in paleontology that sparked a [[Paleontology in Yonderre|Dinosaur craze in Yonderre]]. Lange's prodigy, [[Thibault d'Avignon]], would go on to describe over a hundred extinct species during the latter half of the nineteenth century, including infamous species like ''[[Joanusaurus]]'' and ''{{wpl|Stegosaurus}}'' from the [[Greater Levantine Formation]]. | The Yonderian Golden Age saw several major scientific advances made by Yonderian scientists.
