These feedback reactions are to restore the balance in our bodies. The same feedback technique was used in the Second World War by the allies to target the German missiles. Earlier, the German missiles were too fast to be fired on. MIT and Bell labs then figured out that these missiles need to be tracked and using the radar data to calculate the missile’s position after a few seconds.

It was Joseph Black who discovered how much fire is required to make how much steam to be condensed by how much water resulting in how much of the final product. He figured this out while working on whiskey distils. He discovers the latent heat as being the reason behind steam’s massive hotness. He shares this observation with James Watt who uses it in his invention of the Steam Engine which kicks of the Industrial Revolution.
