Without scientific advancement, a country cannot compete with any other country in the world. And without the dedicated scientists, it is not possible to do a good research in the various field of science and technology. Here we have enlisted the names of the famous scientists and their discoveries. All these famous scientists today remember for their remarkable contribution to the world. Although there are many big names in the world of science who have changed the world. Here we have mentioned the list of famous scientists and their inventions.
Archimedes
Archimedes was a very versatile character and had many specialties. Not only was he a very good mathematician and physicist but also had done a great research in the world of economy. Archimedes impressed everyone with its ingenious thinking and had also made many important machines. In his lifetime, he did a lot of work and devised formulas to find the volumes of irregularly shaped objects. Archimedes principle which is an important concept based on the buoyancy is quite popular in the world of science.
Galileo Galilei
Galileo Galilei had made many important contributions in the world of science. Hence, he was given the titles namely, Father of Science, Father of modern observational astronomy, Father of modern physics etc. He mainly contributed to the world of astronomy and find with his telescope different phases of the planet Venus. Also, he discovered the sunspots and founded the four satellites of the planet Jupiter. Galileo Galilei also supported the theory of heliocentrism which was a difficult time to do so as the world followed the geocentricism theory at that time.
Sir Issac Newton
Almost everyone has studied Newton’s law in their school time. The great scientist was popular in the world of physics and had made the first practical reflecting telescope which has been used by scientists to observe important advancements in the sky. Newton gave the important concept of gravity to the world which changed the entire way of looking at things. Also, he played a key role in giving the theory of calculus which is used in today’s time in various fields of physics.
Thomas Alva Edison
Thomas Alva Edison is known for introducing an electric bulb to the world. Almost everyone uses his invention to light up their houses. But his work is not just limited to the invention of the electric bulb but he also introduced many important instruments to the world. Telegraph devices, phonograph, carbon transmitter, direct current generator, gramophone are some of the new instruments that he devised to improve the world.
Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein is one of the most popular scientists of today’s time. He has contributed immensely to the world by giving many important theories in the field of science. Einstein is responsible for the development of the modern theory of gravity and also played an important role in the development of important concepts of quantum physics. He is best known for energy-mass conservation principles and this concept plays a significant role in atomic physics.
