who do u believe is the greatest inventor of all time and why?

Answer 1

So many but for now its me! I found you a nice friend from the USA.

Answer 2

I'm always amazed at the Leonardo DaVinci answer. I have done a thorough web search and can find no invention of DaVinci's, period.

He did *not* invent a helicopter. Honest.

He was a painter who liked to doodle. If that's all that's required to be an inventor, then I have invented more rocket ships, race cars and tanks than all of humanity combined.

Most (all?) of DaVinci's so-called "inventions" were never invented and, if built strictly according to his diagrams' specifications, will not under any circumstances work.

If I am in error here, please let me know something that DaVinci actually *did* invent outside of a certain type of faulty plaster and a few other art-related fiascos.

All that being said, I'll have to go with Edison. Not only did he invent several things on his own, he ran an "invention factory" and successfully *managed* the invention of hundreds if not thousands of things.
