There are so many scientists and inventors, it is impossible to pick out one. Newton said "If I have seen further, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants". Each inventor takes things further because of what has already been done.
An excellent book for those who would like to know about the greatest brains of the last 500 years is "A History of Science" by John Gribbin. It is well written, entertaining and informative.
