Words by Sylvia Bobekova

There are a lot of great scientists all over the world.
Get to know the scientists that changed the world as we know it though their contributions and discoveries.
Human society has reached today where it is largely on the back of scientific advancements. Can you imagine a world without electricity? Thousands of scientists have worked tirelessly throughout their lives on research, experiments, philosophies, and ideas to solve complex mysteries, save lives, make life easier, and take humanity forward. Here we take a look at the top greatest scientists whose inventions changed the world.

THANKS to Darwin's theory of human evolution

Albert Einstein

What is Albert remembered for?

BORN

Albert Einstein (March 14, 1879 in Ulm - April 18, 1955 in Princeton, New Jersey) was born in Germany, a physicist with Swiss and American citizenship. He is considered one of the most important theoretical physicists in the history of science and one of the most famous scientists of modern times in the world.

Einstein's major work, the theory of relativity, made him world famous!

Einstein became a full professor at the German Charles-Ferdinand University in Prague in April 1911, accepting Austrian citizenship in the Austro-Hungarian Empire to do so.

Winner of the Nobel Prize (1922)

The Nobel Prize in Physics for 1921 was awarded only on November 9, 1922: to Albert Einstein "for his service to theoretical physics, especially for the discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect"

THE GREAT SCIENTISTS Ada Lovelace

Nina I.

Ada Lovelace: The Enchantress of Numbers

Ada was born on 10 December 1815. She was the only child and her parents were George Gordon Byron(poet) and Anne Isabella. Ada was ill from a young age. From 1832, when she was seventeen, her remarkable mathematical abilities began to emerge.
In 1833, at the age of 17, Ada Lovelace met one of the great scientists of the era, with whom she became lifelong friends. This is Charles Babbage, a Lucas professor of mathematics at Cambridge. The two began to have intensive correspondence on topics such as mathematics, logic, and other sciences. By this time, Babbage was already popular in London as the inventor of the mechanical computer for mathematical calculations, resembling the computer that counted to 20 characters.

Chemist, Mathematician

In 1844, she would comment to a friend about her desire to create a mathematical model for how the brain gives rise to thoughts and nerves to feelings(" a calculus of the nervous system").To say she was ahead of her time would be an understatement.Lovelace died at the age of 36 on 27 November 1852, from uterine cancer.The computer language Ada, created on befalf on the United States department of Defence, was named after Ada Lovelece.

In 1953, over a hundred years after her death, Ada's notes on Babbage's Analytical Engine were republished. In 1998, the British Computer Society established a medal in honor of the Countess of Lovelace, which is awarded for services in the field.

The Great Scientists

Isaak Newton

Isaak Newton was born on Christmas Day 1642 in Great Britany. He discovered the laws, that now bear his name, when England has been in plague. The English scholar held off on publishing those findings for decades.

When Halley said the orbital problem to him, Newton shocked Halley by giving the soution immediately. The answer has been exposed long ago.Halley persuaded Newton to publish his calculations, and the results were Principia, in 1687.Not only he describe for the first time how the planets move throught the space and how projectiles on Earth travel throught the air. The principia showed that the same fundamental force, gravity, governs both.

His assistant Humphrey Newton( he isn't Isaak's relation) wrote about Isaak he never knew him to take any recreation. Isaak Newton never went halfway on anything, said Humphery more.

Newton's work has been said "to distinctly advance every branch of mathematics then studied". His work on the subject, usually referred to as fluxions or calculus, seen in a manuscript of October 1666, is now published among Newton's mathematical papers. His work De analysi per aequationes numero terminorum infinitas, sent by Isaac Barrow to John Collins in June 1669, was identified by Barrow in a letter sent to Collins that August as the work "of an extraordinary genius and proficiency in these things".

1642-1727

Marie Curie

Autobiography

She was born in Warsaw and studied at the Warsaw Hidden Summer University. In 1891 (at the age of 24) she followed her sister and went to study in Paris where she continued her studies. In 1895 she married the French physicist Pierre Curie and shared with him and another physicist, the 1903 Nobel Prize in Physics.

full name: Marie Salomea Skłodowska–Curie
born in: Warsraw
birthday: 7th November 1867
death: 4th July 1934
nationality: Polish-French
proffeshion: phisicist and chemist
famous with: She is the first woman to win the Nobel Prize twice in two scientific fields.

Achievements

Working with her husband, Pierre Curie, Marie Curie discovered polonium and radium in 1898. In 1903 they won the Nobel Prize for Physics for discovering radioactivity. In 1911 she won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for isolating pure radium.

In 1891 Skłodowska went to Paris and, now using the name Marie, began to follow the lectures of Paul Appell, Gabriel Lippmann, and Edmond Bouty at the Sorbonne. There she met physicists who were already well known—Jean Perrin, Charles Maurain, and Aimé Cotton. Skłodowska worked far into the night in her student-quarters garret and virtually lived on bread and butter and tea. She came first in the licence of physical sciences in 1893. She began to work in Lippmann’s research laboratory and in 1894 was placed second in the licence of mathematical sciences. It was in the spring of that year that she met Pierre Curie.
