Who is the great scientisst?

Answer 1

==Thomas Alva Edison== Einstein, Tesla, Von Braun and many other scientists made great contributions to the world, but considering the impact that such things as light bulbs, motion pictures, sound recording devices and the huge number of other inventions of Edison have had on the world, "The Wizard of Menlo Park" is, arguably, the greatest scientist of the 20th century. ==Nikola Tesla== Nikola Tesla is the greatest scientist of the millenium. His contributions made a greater impact than any other scientist to technology and our way of life today. While Edison is credited with discovering and advancing electricty, few realize that while he advanced direct current, which is the type of power batteries use, it was Tesla who advanced alternating current, the type all our electric conveniences use. That's only the beginning of Tesla's contributions!

Answer 2

technically this question should ask 'who is the greatest "known" scientist because very many persons are undiscovered as sevants and genius level persons. right now someone is holding the most important thought ever in their head and has not shared it with the scientific society or they have shared an idea in the past that has been ridiculed or simply not proven correct, yet. LOL imagination and common sense have come together in someones head but fear has stopped them from sharing the idea publicly.

maybe i have gotten off track and your asking about practical scientists and not about theorists. LOL

maybe you want a list like Marie Curie, enrico fermi, Louis pastur, Robert oppenhiemer, steven hawking, Thomas Edison, bertold schwarz (he he he) giggle.

but i digress, sorry. i guess your question might be understood to ask "who is your favorite" and i would answer steven is the most interesting but, bertold gave me the most pleasure during my life from childhood to today.LOL i love firearms.

Answer 3

I personally believe that Aristotle was the greatest scientist. He has contributed in physics, poetry, zoology, logic, rhetoric, politics, government, ethics and Biology.
