10 greatest scientists who changed the world
ten greatest scientists who changed the
world
number ten Aristotle he was a Greek
philosopher and scientist better known
as the teacher of Alexander the Great
his writings constitute the first
comprehensive system of Western
philosophy which includes views about
morality and aesthetics logic and
science politics and metaphysics this
system became the supporting pillar of
both Islamic and Christian scholastic
thought Aristotle developing one of the
main topics of the pre-socratic believed
that the world was built up of five
basic elements fire earth air water and
ether number nine Galileo Galilei he is
called as the father of modern science
because of his discoveries in astronomy
and physics he built his own telescope
in 1609 and used it to study the cosmos
eventually concluding that Earth’s solar
system is heliocentric Galileo’s
theories on motion were later used as
the foundation of Isaac Newton’s work
number eight Archimedes he was a Greek
mathematician philosopher and inventor
who wrote important works on geometry
arithmetic and mechanics he is most
famous for discovering the law of
hydrostatics
sometimes known as Archimedes principle
stating that a body immersed in fluid
loses weight equal to the weight of the
amount of fluid it displaces he is
supposed to have made this discovery
when stepping into his bath causing him
to exclaim Eureka number seven Michael
Faraday British citizen Michael Faraday
was a son of a blacksmith who had to
leave school in the fourth grade but he
developed a fascination with science and
particularly in electricity after he
studied lot of serious academic works
during his days
Faraday especially known for his
discoveries of electromagnetic induction
z’ and rotations field theory
diamagnetism and the magneto optical
effect this humble genius invented the
electric motor and Faraday’s ring he
also wrote books on experimental
research is in electricity and the
chemical history of the candle
number six Thomas Alva Edison he was
forced to leave the school by his
teacher after three month of official
schooling but he dreamed of lamp that
could be operated by electricity he
patented a whopping total of 1093
inventions in his lifetime most of the
inventions that came from Edison are
batteries phonographs cement mining
Telegraph’s lights and powers he also
improved the telephone made by Graham
Bell and invented the Kinetoscope that
was used for viewing moving films
number five Marie Curie when Marie Curie
was ten years old her mother died after
this much of suffering
she holds record for the first female to
be awarded with a Nobel Prize inventor
and scientist Marie Curie has always
remained a source of inspiration and
motivation for different female
scientists because of her determination
to work she invented the first mobile
x-ray machine which helped to check the
injured soldiers in the battlefield
radium is another great invention from
her she is also called the mother of
Adam on with her invention of the
radioactive materials number four Louis
Pasteur he was born in Dahl Jura France
to a Catholic family of a poor Tana
but he made astounding contributions in
the field of science technology and
medicine and spent his life working in
chemistry and microbiology he explained
about biogenesis and proposed a theory
named as the germ theory and created a
process of toning in treating milk free
from the damage causing microbes to what
he called pasteurization Pasteur is also
regarded as the first man on earth to
ever discover cure for pure Perl fever
and make the vaccines for rabies and
anthrax number three Nikola Tesla he was
a celibate his whole life he had
developed almost everything by himself
and did not expose any of it which later
was invented by other scientists in his
time x-rays by Rankine radar by Watson
what were all devised by Nikola Tesla
there was almost nothing that Tesla did
not do first hydroelectricity plant in
Niagara Falls experiments with cryogenic
engineering were all built by Tesla he
was a future thinker and his minds would
run on any wavelengths number two Isaac
Newton he was born three months after
the death of his father a prosperous
farmer also named Isaac Newton he
explained the theory on tides which
occurred due to the gravitation pull
from the Sun Moon and Earth he also
invented the reflecting telescope
Newton’s laws can be found in different
areas of mechanics optics and chemistry
Newton explained the theory of gravity
and gravity
by inventing calculus as no other
principles could explain it
number one Albert Einstein he did not
start speaking until he was four and he
failed his university entrance exam in
1895 at the age of seventeen
Einstein is considered as one of the
greatest revolutionary scientist the
world has ever known one of the greatest
scientist of the 20th century Einstein’s
special theory of relativity
revolutionized physics which even
challenged the scientists at CERN he
established the world’s most famous
equation e equals MC square on which the
atomic bomb is also based this rare
genius was awarded Nobel Prize in 1921
for his work on theoretical physics and
discovery of the photoelectric effect
