Top Five Scientists Who Changed the Way of Lives


Scientists undoubtedly play an import role in the development of human’s society; here we discussed some notable info about the top five scientists of the world. These great scientists were specialists in their particular fields and got the fame through astounding work.


5. Archimedes



Greek mathematician, physicist and astronomer, Archimedes is also one of the top five scientists of the world. He has been considered as one of the most important scientists in classical antiquity. He became popular after designing innovative machines such as siege engines and the screw pump. In the field of Mathematics, Archimedes was the first individual, who gave a remarkably accurate approximation of pi. During the “Siege of Syracuse,” Archimedes was murdered by a Roman soldier at the age of 75.


4. Thomas Alva Edison



Thomas Edison is fourth name in the list of top five scientists of the world. He got the fame by appending more than 1000 inventions with his name. Edison developed a number of devices, which impressively changed the life style around the globe. His inventions include electric light bulb, phonograph and the motion picture camera. This great scientist said adieu to this world on October 18, 1931.


3. Galileo Galilei




The Italian physicist, mathematician and astronomer Galileo Galilei – who has been called the “father of modern observational astronomy” – is securing the third place in “top five scientists of the world” thanks to his achievements in the field of telescoping. His assistances to astronomy include the telescopic validation of the stages of Venus, scrutiny and observation of sunspots.


2.  Isaac Newton



Isaac Newton was an English mathematician, alchemist, physicist, astronomer and philosopher. Newton became popular in 1687 after the publication of his great monograph “Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica,” which is known as the greatest scientific book. In this book, Newton defined universal gravitation as well as 3 laws of motion. In mathematics, Newton made the recognition by assisting Gottfried Leibniz (who occupies a prominent place in the history of mathematics) in the development of integral calculus. Newton had been died and was buried in Westminster Abbey.


1. Albert Einstein



Hans Albert Einstein was the most influential physicist of the 20th century. He proved him as a great scientist when he developed the general theory of relativity. For this attainment, the Germen born scientist is often regarded as the “father of modern physics.” Einstein published almost five hundred scientific and non-scientific works. Einstein published almost five hundred scientific and non-scientific works. His discoveries (Discovery of Photoelectric effect, Brownian motion) and quantum theory of a monoatomic gas ranked him 1st in the list of “top five scientists of the world.”
