who is the best scientist ever from your point of view?

Answer 1

The general concensus among historians is Isaac Newton. Optics, motion, gravity, calculus: any one of these would have put him in the first rank. All of them together make him unmatched.

Answer 2

I could not possibly pick "One soul one" Because if
I did I might die from anothers lack of invention.There
are so many many scientists that are very noteworthy
of their discoveries and accomplishments.How can any
like thinking mind conclude a "best".I may die from polio
or the plague,but not with some,I may catch the flu and
blow a kazoo like sound out my nose.Maybe Scarlet fever or Rebella.Then again I can eat "all natural" which in some cases is "sick" like unpasterized things.I may get a bad bacterial infection and need certain medicine ,because I could die..
So that is a very great inventer there.Here .Where? whO?
There are too many.Hiow can anyone just have a favorite.
especially when they all are a combined form meaning?

Answer 3

Depending on which field of science that you look at.

Being a geologist, I would have to say James Hutton, the father of geology.

Louis Pasteur- truly great (very underrated)- set the stage for modern biology

Albert Einstein- modern physics

Carl Sagan- astrophysicist

Neils Bohr- physicist

here a some, to name a few

Answer 4

Thomas Elva Edison

Answer 5

Personally, I believe that "Sir Issac Newton" is the greatest scientist of all time because he discovered many great theories based on current known information in his time. Also, his classical views of the universe (eg. his laws on "Gravity" etc.) are still very relevant today in my opinion, because the average person can comprehend what he is trying to explain. Finally, Newton covered many fields of science with his knowledge which are still prevalent today !

Answer 6

Faraday. He "founded" electricity. With it, so many lives were save in other fields. Of course, the revolutionary work by Sir Issac Newton and Einstein is great too but, by understanding calculus, relativity, Brownian motion and the works, did any of these save anyone's lives? Our lives will not be affected greatly if any of them did not exist but without Faraday's discovery of electricity, our lives would had been very much different.

Answer 7

Avesina the persian scientist

Answer 8

From my point of view, Albert Einstein is the best scientist . Albert Einstein (March 14, 1879 – April 18, 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist widely considered one of the greatest physicists of all time. While best known for the theory of relativity (and specifically mass-energy equivalence, E=mc2), he was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics for his 1905 (his "wonderful year" or "miraculous year") explanation of the photoelectric effect and "for his services to Theoretical Physics". In popular culture, the name "Einstein" has become synonymous with great intelligence and genius.

Among his many investigations were: capillary action, his special theory of relativity which stemmed from an attempt to reconcile the laws of mechanics with the laws of the electromagnetic field, his general theory of relativity which extended the principle of relativity to include gravitation, relativistic cosmology, critical opalescence, classical problems of statistical mechanics and problems merged with quantum theory, including an explanation of Brownian motion; atomic transition probabilities, the probabilistic interpretation of quantum theory, the quantum theory of a monatomic gas, the thermal properties of light with a low radiation density which laid the foundation of the photon theory of light, the theory of radiation, including stimulated emission; the construction of a unified field theory, and the geometrization of physics.

Answer 9

That depends, human invention has changed quite a bit. Here are a few of the top run.

Imhotep of Ancient Egypt was seriously brilliant and versatile, he designed and oversaw the construction of the first pyramids, was a poet and philosopher, developed sophisticated medicial techniques and methods, and was the chancellor or governor of Pharoh's lands. - Coined the phrase "Eat Drink and Be Merry" which originally was "Eat Drink and Be Merry...because we will be dead tomorrow." for some reason the last part never took.

Archimedes of Syracuse,Sicly (at the time part of "greater" Greece) - developed many methods of working with water and other mechanisms , many of which are still used today including the "water screw", he is purported to have developed a "Heat Ray" using the Sun's light to burn the Roman's fleet while in harbor. Coint the phrase "Eureka".

Leonardo Da Vinci of Florence,Italy- Invented things from the tank to the helicopter, advanced forensic medicine and was a sculptor and painter of great merit. Additionally he worked on mathematical problems related to language and mechanical problems of all descriptions. He had an enduring love of the concept of flight and probably had what we would today diagnose as attention deficit disorder.

Galileo Gallile Piza, Italy - One of the most influential scientists of the 1500-1600's, Galileo discovered that other planets in our solar system have moons and that "not everything" orbits around the Earth, using a crude telescope he made detailed observations and collections of data to support his theory. For his effort the Roman Catholic Church (RCC) of the day nearly excommunicated him and he was placed under house arrest during the later part of his life. The church has since absolved him (in 1992).

Isaac Newton, London, England - Sir Newton, developed an entire branch of mathematics called calculus, this has let us travel to the planets and eventually the stars beyond with precision and accuracy, Optics work and other areas of work were equally brilliant, You could do alot worse than suggest that Sir Isaac was the best of the bunch.

James Maxwell, England, Mr. Maxwell was a theoretical physict and mathematician from the 1800's, he single handedly developed a series of equasions which allowed electrial engineers to build large scale machines and work out formulas for electricty, without his equasions, electricity would have probably remained a mere curiosity and not enabled the advent of modern society.

Charles Darwin - Darwin developed the "Theory of Evolution", which is regarded by scientists as perhaps one of the most profound discoveries of science, this theory was proven by hundreds of thousands of experiements conducted by Abbott Gregor Mendel of the Roman Catholic Church from Brno, Moravia. Although the two worked separately and never collaborated or met, Mendel's analysis and methods would provide the analytical bedrock from which Darwin's theory would later be proved correct. After the discovery of DNA, and the mechanisms of herdity in 1953, Darwins theory can be safely considered along with the law of Gravity as a fact.

Unfortunately periodically religious zealots and challenge this theory as an affront to their understanding of God. (See Galileo).

Thomas Edison, Menlo Park, New Jersey (NJ) - Invented a practical lightbulb, the practical movie projector, the sheer volume of inventions is impressive (over 1000) ranging from the stock ticker to...well... the lightbulb, however as a businessman he was nororiously ruthless and worked for decades to destroy the career of various scientists and inventors. The inventor Nicolai Tesla who may be considered even more brilliant than Edison, in the areas of electricity and electrodymanics is one example.

Albert Einstein - Zurich, Switzerland/Princeton, NJ in 1904 a young Einstein developed several closely related conjectures about what would become relativity, these were later fleshed out as mathematical formulations and published in the subsequent year. His contribution to theoretical and practical physics is very important, he influenced a generation of scientists and is widely regarded for popularizing science in the 20th century.

Sigmund Freud - Vienna, Austria, London, England, Developed the theory of Psychoanalysis but more importantly moved discussion about the psychology and physiology of the mind to the rational world where previously it had been almost entirely the province of superstition and speculation. Freud's development of detailed workable theories led to the field of psychoanalysis as an added field of modern medicine.

John Von Neuman - Princeton, NJ - Developed many of the modern concepts and theoretical models we would come to know as the computer, he was instrumental in the development of modern computers, modern theories related to everything from logistics to quantum physics.

Answer 10

Werner Karl Heisenberg (the Founder of Quantum Mechanics) with his "Heisenberg uncertainty principle." And if you understand the physics behind the equation, he iterally states that particles can sponanteously appear out of nowhere and destroy itself with its anti particle, if it does it under Planck's time. Evidence of this is that Black Holes are shrinking with Hawking radiation.

And of course there's James Clark Maxwell who developed theories on Electromagnetism.
and Stephen Hawking.
