Top 10 Scientists and There Life Span And There Unconventional
Research Works
|
|
Sir Isaac Newton.
(1642-1726)
|
Newton
was a polymath who made investigations into a whole range of subjects
including mathematics, optics, physics, and astronomy. In his Principia Mathematica,
published in 1687, he laid the foundations for classical mechanics,
explaining law of gravity and the Laws of Motion.
|
Louis Pasteur.
(1822 – 1895)
|
Contributed greatly
towards the advancement of medical sciences developing cures for rabies,
anthrax and other infectious diseases. Also enabled process of pasteurization
to make milk safer to drink. Probably saved more lives than any other person.
|
Galileo.
(1564 – 1642)
|
Creating
one of the first modern telescopes, Galileo revolutionized our understanding
of the world successfully proving the earth revolved around the sun and not
the other way around. His work Two New Sciences laid ground work for science
of Kinetics and strength of materials.
|
Marie Curie.
(1867 – 1934)
|
Polish physicist and
chemist. Discovered radiation and helped to apply it in the field of X ray.
She won Nobel Prize in both Chemistry and Physics.
|
Albert Einstein.
(1879 – 1955)
|
Revolutionized
modern physics with his general theory of relativity. Won Nobel Prize in
Physics (1921) for his discovery of the Photoelectric effect, which formed
basis of Quantum Theory.
|
Charles Darwin.
(1809 – 1882)
|
Developed theory of
evolution against a backdrop of disbelief and skepticism. Collected evidence
over 20 years, and published conclusions in On
the Origin of Species (1859).
|
Otto Hahn (1879-1968)
|
German
Chemist who discovered nuclear fission (1939). Pioneering scientist in the
field of radio-chemistry. Discovered radio-active elements and nuclear
isomerism (1921). Awarded Nobel Prize for Chemistry (1944)
|
Nikola Tesla (1856
–1943)
|
Work on electro-magnetism
and AC current. Credited with many patents from electricity to radio
transmission.
|
James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879)
|
Made
great strides in understanding electro-magnetism. His research in electricity
and kinetics, laid foundation for quantum physics. Einstein said of Maxwell,
"The work of James Clerk
Maxwell changed the world forever."
|
Aristotle 384BC
- 322BC
|
Great early Greek
scientist who made many researches in the natural sciences including botany,
zoology, physics, astronomy, chemistry, and meteorology, geometry
