Earth &_& Space ?

Question

can anybody tell me a major scientist -- alive or deceased whom has done anythinq biq .. like a website of scientists or a name ... he or she has to be a scientist that was into Earth &_& space ... best answers qets 10 points :]

Answer 1

Alfred Wegner was a german scientist whose theory of continental drift was essential to the development of plate tectonics. Otherwise, there are alot of scientists which you could choose.

Answer 2

I believe that "intellectual" said it best and very completely.

There are a multitude of achievers involved in all phases of life and science, many, more or less, the equal of Albert Onerock but if we take everybody at face value old Albert rises to the top of the heap.

I personally like Hawking and Asimov not to mention Carl Sagan but Albert earned a special place in physics, a tribute by his peers which we are compelled to acknowledge.

Of course, we might mention President Bush with his new science of Nuke-U-Lar Phisickals; I'll bet you that even Einstein didn't know about them/that/those/they/it/whatever!

Answer 3

Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein (German: /ˈalbɐt ˈaɪ̯nʃtaɪ̯n/ (Audio file) (help·info); English: IPA: /ˈælbɝt ˈaɪnstaɪn/) (March 14, 1879 – April 18, 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist. He is best known for his theory of relativity and specifically mass-energy equivalence, E = mc2. Einstein received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect."[1]

Einstein's many contributions to physics include his special theory of relativity, which reconciled mechanics with electromagnetism, and his general theory of relativity, which extended the principle of relativity to non-uniform motion, creating a new theory of gravitation. His other contributions include relativistic cosmology, capillary action, critical opalescence, classical problems of statistical mechanics and their application to quantum theory, an explanation of the Brownian movement of molecules, atomic transition probabilities, the quantum theory of a monatomic gas, thermal properties of light with low radiation density (which laid the foundation for the photon theory), a theory of radiation including stimulated emission, the conception of a unified field theory, and the geometrization of physics.

Works by Albert Einstein include more than fifty scientific papers and also non-scientific books.[2][3] In 1999 Einstein was named Time magazine's "Person of the Century", and a poll of prominent physicists named him the greatest physicist of all time.[4] In popular culture the name "Einstein" has become synonymous with genius.

Answer 4

Sir Harold Jeffreys discovered the outer core was liquid.

Inge Lehmann discovered the inner core was solid.

Nicolas Steno developed some of the fundamental laws of relative dating in geology.

James Dwight Dana was a premier geologist of his time.

There are so many.....

Answer 5

I think you have to go with James Hutton. He was the "Father of Modern Geology," and his ideas revolutionized Earth Science. A few websites are below.
