Top 10 Greatest Scientists In History
Sir Isaac Newton PRS was an English physicist and mathematician who is widely recognised as one of the most influential scientists of all time and a key figure in the scientific revolution. It still astounds me how he came up with his theory of classical mechanics. Genuine outside the box thinking that I inspire to be able to replicate
His Scientific Achievements are foundational as much as they are significant. Moreover he did all this while serving as a member of parliament and being the head of the Royal Mint.
He is the father of mechanics, optics, and the inventor of the reflecting telescope, as well as the creator of calculus. Definitely the greatest scientist of all time.
He should at number 1 because he is the only scientist who worked on every fields of Physics whether it be light, sound or air. he even worked on motion and rest and on nuclear science.
Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist who developed the theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics. His work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science. He is very smart, but his life was just fine. On other hand, Nikola Tesla was poor, he tore document that today is worth billions and billion dollars for VestingHaus, he didn't want to struggle other people and ask for money, and his decision that pleasure will came just by thinking, and he discard all other physical pleasures including girls. True Legend!
Gotta be the most quoted, well know and overall the most influential scientist of all time. And all the things he discovered too... Totally changed the face of science on all accounts. A well deserved 1st place.
A genius is not just about being good at something or even the best at something. it is about how one views the universe-as objective as humanly possible-without the screens of emotions, fear and ignorancey. Einstein was truly the greatest genius!
Albert Einstein my favourite scientist of all time my role model and he is god for me. Incredible and superintelligent mind of all time in the world.
Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, physicist, and futurist best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current electricity supply system, X rays, Radio, Remote Control, Laser, and Electric motors. Tesla developed and used ...read more. Greatest scientist of all time. Astonished that he is not on 1st. Have you ever heard of ball lightning? Till now it's a rare phenomenon and scientists can't perform this in their labs but tesla did it in 1890s.
This dude was just brilliant! Had vision, had intuition, had the creativity. Certainly most responsible for the larger scale 20th century technological advancements and beyond.
I'd go for Einstein but Tesla has a different views on why he invent things. Think about it, if JP Morgan didn't cut the funds for his experiment, we could've experienced free electricity right now. And I think it's because of him, we have Wi-Fi's.
Any modern technology being used he first created it. From AC current to laser, microwaves, x-rays, you name it. Even Einstien admited he is the smartest man who ever lived.
Galileo Galilei, was an Italian astronomer, physicist, engineer, philosopher, and mathematician who played a major role in the scientific revolution during the Renaissance. Galileo's work is what led newton into mathematics and calculus is what made Einstein's genius possible. Give some respect to the father of modern science.
He is the first person who treated physics as only possible weapon to explore cosmos..
It's a shame he never lived to receive the praise he has now.
He was house arrested by the Catholic Church for just speaking about it
Louis Pasteur was a French chemist and microbiologist renowned for his discoveries of the principles of vaccination, microbial fermentation and pasteurization. He's a great scientist that helped millions of lives. For sure he has to be one of the top 3 best scientists of all time!
He's responsible for the existence of vaccines. Without him, many people will die for several diseases.
He is a really helpful and smart man by helping millions of peoples lives.
Marie Skłodowska Curie, born Maria Salomea Skłodowskap, was a Polish and naturalized-French physicist and chemist who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity. A woman who made the great contribution in the world of science. A woman who's under the discovery of radioactivity. I hope many women will follow her steps.
She's pretty much the source of our knowledge about radioactivity and X-Rays. Her discoveries have immense implications in medicine and things like nuclear power. I'm surprised and disheartened that she and Charles Darwin aren't higher on the list.
When whole the world was dominated by male scientists... she was the only who inspired many young girls to take science
Marie Curie discovered several elements and the x-ray. Come on guys.
Charles Robert Darwin was an English naturalist and geologist, best known for his contributions to evolutionary theory. This man should be higher. The hardest thing in science is to be able to see things that others can't/refuse to. Another out of the box thinker
The greatest scientific mind of all time. His theory of evolution should actually be a law as well proven as the law of gravity. To say that you don't "believe" in evolution is like saying that you don't believe in breathing.
If he didn't exists, you would still be an ape! He practically discovered evolution!
He's known for the theory of evolution of several species.
Stephen William Hawking (January 8, 1942 - March 14, 2018) was an English theoretical physicist, cosmologist, author and Director of Research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology within the University of Cambridge. His most famous research was on the theory of Black Holes. When I came to know he was not physically fine
I got the "The most inspiring scientist of all time"
This legend shows that impossible is just in mind..
Salute to this legend who tried to change word by just thinking...
With his breakthrough scheme ever noted in history of science "The Grand Design", although being physically disabled, he proved what man can accomplish if he dares to hope.
He should be #1! Come on people! Please vote for him. He has earned so much of fame, even though he had Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis! Just imagine his struggles! Please vote for him, until he reaches #1!
With such a deliberating disease, he actually shook the world. He is the number 1.
A true champion. Come on! Vote for this inspirational person.
You can put Einstein and Newton in his company but barely anyone else.
Maxwell's work was precursor for Einsteins derivations.
Alexander Graham Bell was a Scottish-born scientist, inventor, engineer and innovator who is credited with patenting the first practical telephone. The man who invented telephone.
Well, Alex, you don't appear to have a social life with all your fans
Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss was a German mathematician who contributed significantly to many fields, including number theory, algebra, statistics, analysis, differential geometry, geodesy, geophysics, mechanics, electrostatics, astronomy, matrix theory, and optics.
Archimedes of Syracuse was an Ancient Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, inventor, and astronomer. This man discovered pi, that's all that needs to be said. But that's just the tip of the iceberg.
He was simply awesome!
Benjamin Franklin was an American polymath and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Franklin was a leading author, printer, political theorist, politician, freemason, postmaster, scientist, inventor, humorist, civic activist, statesman, and diplomat. He invented the elctricity. The image of benjamin franklin is on the usa's note.
John von Neumann was a Hungarian-American pure and applied mathematician, physicist, inventor, computer scientist, and polymath. The Fastest mind ever. And possibly the most raw intelligent person ever
Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci (April 15, 1452 - May 2, 1519) more commonly Leonardo da Vinci or simply Leonardo, was an Italian polymath whose areas of interest included invention, painting, sculpting, architecture, science, music, mathematics, engineering, literature, anatomy, geology, astronomy, ...read more. He literally invented ideas that modern society uses. If we all did Leonardo's ideas in his time, we would all be technologically more advanced in modern society.
All the mordern day thinks are based on his inventions. He did that before of Newton, Einstein and all other
Leonardo was so much ahead of his time, it's surreal.
Thomas Alva Edison was an American inventor and businessman, who has been described as America's greatest inventor. He was not able to listen but he invented many things like the electric bulb, telegraph and many more the owner of 1000 patents
Charles Babbage was an English polymath. A mathematician, philosopher, inventor and mechanical engineer, Babbage, along with Ada Lovelace, is best remembered for originating the concept of a programmable computer.
Aristotle was a Greek philosopher and scientist born in the city of Stagira, Chalkidice, on the northern periphery of Classical Greece. Even though he was wrong in more or less all his notions he still was the man behind empiric thinking - the principle of all modern science where you test your ideas through practical experiments or create theories judged upon experiences.
Simply put, scientists as we define them wouldn't exist without Aristotle.
Niels Henrik David Bohr was a Danish physicist who made foundational contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum theory, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922. Bohr was also a philosopher and a promoter of scientific research. Deserves as much acknowledgement as Einstein and Rutherford. After all, he created the atomic model we still base our chemistry on to this date.
Why is bohr so low on the list, its ridiculous. He deserves top 5.
Genius.
Without him, science would not be as it is.
Carl Edward Sagan was an American astronomer, cosmologist, astrophysicist, astrobiologist, author, science popularizer, and science communicator in astronomy and other natural sciences. An absolute legend of science. Not the most prolific in terms of his advancement of knowledge, but he turned science on its head from a highly elitist language that only few people with many qualifications could learn and contribute to, to one in which everyday people like you and me could understand aND apply to our everyday lives.
Sagan didn't answer the big questions, he translated them for us. Science has become a very universal and accessible language now. If you've ever stood out and marvelled at the stars, watching 'Cosmos' is an absolute must.
Carl Sagan was a total genius. Miss him.
The greatest, but for him science and cosmos would not be interesting or understandable
Michael Faraday was an English scientist who contributed to the study of electromagnetism and electrochemistry. He's the one who founded one of the key concepts of electromagnetism after he made a discovery of one of his own lab experiments. However, he couldn't explain it mathematically but only on intellectual terms about the concept. It was not until Maxwell explains the concept further mathematically. Maxwell too has faced problems computing equations that describe the behavior of electromagnetic fields. Nowadays, we call it Maxwell's Equations that consists of 4 laws.
Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck was a German quantum physicist who was born on April 23, 1858 in Kiel, Germany. He is best known for winning a Nobel prize on the field of physics in 1918 and he published his own well known book called treatise on thermodynamics. His accomplishments was for being elected ...read more.
Aryabhata or Aryabhata I was the first of the major mathematician-astronomers from the classical age of Indian mathematics and Indian astronomy. Aryabhatta ji deserves first position, without his discoveries nothing else would have been discovered.
He gave us zero. Without that everything and everyone is zero!
He invented 0 means he invented math...mens He invented the computers...
No. 20
All because he was an indian.
