Most fathers would be proud of a son with Daniel’s accomplishments, but not Johann. Instead he saw Daniel as a competitor. When in 1734 the two tied for first place in a competition sponsored by the Paris Academy of Sciences to which they had submitted independent solutions to a problem in celestial mechanics, Johann angrily denounced his son—and also the prize committee for not recognizing his superior achievement. Then in 1743 Daniel discovered that his father had reproduced or, as he suspected, plagiarized and published in Hydraulica (1743) much of what Daniel had published ten years earlier on moving fluids in his similarly titled Hydrodynamica (1733). Worse yet, Johann had asked the printer to backdate the publication of Hydraulica to 1732 in order to establish priority over his son. Daniel never forgave his father and the two remained unreconciled at the elder Bernoulli’s death in 1748.
