Without the light bulb life would be miserable because we would not only have no light but no energy also because Thomas Edison invented the light bulb and electricity so no light bulb, no Edison, meaning no electricity. enjoy Cameron6574 ;P What i just said was gobbledegoosh (gob-ol-dee-goosh). Thomas Edison invented the computer and electricity never existed. The light bulb - what even is a light bulb? A remote? A rat? A train? You can't even describe it and the bell just rang so the monkies. NumberWang!

Thomas Edison didn't actually invent the light bulb, but he did make improvements to the existing design, mainly by making a better filament out of bamboo.
If Edison had not improved the light bulb, others surely would have done so, so life would probably be about the same.

Did Isaac Newton invent color light?
In the early 1670s, Newton was a Cambridge lecturer on optics. He investigated and came to understand basic rules of light composition and activity that had not been documented before. These included the fact that "white" light is comprised of other colors, which pass through glass at different speeds, so that a prisms and lenses can separate those colors, and can recombine them later. This was very important for astronomy, because it explained why powerful telescopes produced oddly miscolored images. In demonstrating this, Newton actually built one of the first reflector telescopes, to show that it didn't produce the same distortion of colors. But Newton was only refining these ideas. Part of his "influence" was in first learning of the ideas behind them from Corpuscular alchemy. That was the idea that some seemingly singular substance, like a material (or light, or even politics) might be comprised of either smaller pieces (like atoms), or even a mixture of smaller components (like the colors of light). Corpuscular alchemy's specific theories were failures, but its general concept was pivotal to modern science and philosophy.
How you calculate the speed of light in water?
Assuming the speed of light in air is already known (it is close to the speed of light in a vacuum), you might check how the light refracts when it changes from air to water (at what angle), and then use Snell's Law.
When did Benjamin Franklin invent the light bulb?
Benjamin Franklin did not invent the light bulb. He conducted experiments with electricity. Thomas Edison was the inventor of the light bulb. However, as with most inventions, Edison built upon the work of others.

What year did Thomas Edison invent cement?
Thomas Edison DID NOT invent cement! From Rutgers University's "Edison Papers" collection we learn the following: "While attempting to develop his ore milling process to concentrate low-grade iron ore, Edison found that he could sell the waste sand to cement manufacturers. In 1899, he decided to investigate how he might transfer his rock-crushing technology to the production of Portland cement. During the next few years, Edison made other improvements in cement manufacture, the most important of which was a long rotary kiln that he licensed to other manufacturers, as well as using at the automated plant he built in Stewartsville, New Jersey. The kiln helped lead to overproduction in the industry and the Edison cement plant was never very profitable. Edison Portland cement was used extensively for buildings, roads, dams, and other structures, including Yankee Stadium. Edison also designed a system for building inexpensive cement houses that he planned to license to other manufacturers. Only a few of these were ever built." http://edison.rutgers.edu/cement.htm
