developed the electrical battery, laying down
the foundation of the electric age. Volt, the unit
of electricity, has been named to honor this
great scientist

ARCHIMEDES
The
next
world is that

equilibrium and

name on the list of greatest scientists who changed the

of the genius mathematician, Archimedes, who was
responsible for laying the foundation of calculus. He also
made discoveries on buoyancy, laws of lever, fluid
hydrostatics.

MARIE CURIE

Curie is the only women on the list of scientists

who changed the world,. This Polish scientist
was also the first woman to be honored with
Nobel Prize. She dedicated her life to scientific
experiments on radio activity and discovering
elements which exhibited this property, such as
radium and thorium. Her work in the field
earned her the title of Mother of Atom Bomb.

GALILEO GALILEI

Next on the list of greatest scientists is Galileo,

who made outstanding discoveries in the fields
of physics and astronomy. He was the person
who invented the telescope for studying
heavenly bodies. Discovery of Law of pendulum
is another one of his glorious contributions to
the world. The 4 moons which revolve around
Jupiter were discovered by him and are also
named after this great scientist.

CHARLES DARWIN

Charles Darwin, the great English zoologist, is credited with

contribution to the human race. The theory plays a key role in
comprehending the origin of human life, besides explaining
the diversity in it.

Leonardo Da Vinci was a great inventor, being
fond of engineering, astronomy, aeronautics,
mathematics and more. His drawings include a
number of various inventions, the basics of
which more or less can be found in different
technologies today. Da Vinci is considered to be
the father of modern science. Some of his most

important inventions include the hydraulic machine, the boat and design of a flying
machine.

EVANGELISTA TORRICELLI

The famous Italian physicist and mathematician

is the author of the barometer (scientific tool
used in the field of meteorology to estimate
atmospheric pressure), built in 1643. It would be

was powered by steam, but could not carry
humans.

KARL DRAIS
The German inventor is the author of the Laufmaschine (German for "running machine"),
which was later called the velocipede and is believed to be the forerunner of the bicycle
and motorcycle. His invention represented the first means of transport to use the twowheeler principle and the starting point of the mechanized personal transport.

LOUIS PASTEUR
The famous French chemist and microbiologist was the one who has come up with the
process of pasteurization, a process that involves heating a food, usually liquid, to a
certain temperature for a specific length of time, and then cooling it instantly.
Pasteurization is used today to slow the development of microorganisms in food.

LEVI STRAUSS
Everyone knows that jeans were invented in the United States, some know that Levi
Strauss was the author of this invention but few know that Strauss was an immigrant
from Germany managed to found in San Francisco, California the world's first firm to

back in 1853.

GOTTIEB DAIMLER

one who discovered the X-rays (also known as
Rntgen rays).This invention allowed the
German scientist to win the first Nobel Prize in
Physics in 1901.

ALBERT EINSTEIN
One of the greatest scientists of the 20th
century is the author of numerous inventions
and theories that transformed a lot of concepts
linked to space and time, with the most
important discovery being the theory of
relativity. Other discoveries of Einstein include
the photoelectric effect and the Einstein
calculator.

SIR ALEXANDER FLEMING

During the World War I Fleming worked as an army medical corp. He is the inventor of
penicillin that prevented a lot of soldiers from
being infected. The discovery of penicillin
managed to significantly boost the evolution of
medicine industry.

THOMAS EDISON
He is the author of a large number of
inventions, but the most well-known one is the
electric bulb. Among other discoveries of
Thomas Edison there are telegraph devices,
phonograph, carbon transmitter, direct
generator, universal electric motor, and

current
more.

ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL

During the experiments he carried out with the telegraph, Bell came up with the idea of
the telephone. The inventor of one of the most popular devices today thought that the
telephone was intruding, which is why he did not have one in his workplace.

EMILE BERLINER
The German-born Jewish American scientist became known thanks to his disc record
