W. Roentgen invented the x-ray in 1895.
Ok I know it's a matter of semantics, but Dr. Roentgen was in fact the "discoverer" of Roentgen-Rays on November 8th, 1895. "Roentgen" was too difficult a word for pre-industrial people to wrap their minds around so they shortened it to "X-Rays."
To say that he "invented" them is a bit of a stretch considering that distant stars were emitting X-Rays billions of years before his birth. It's a bit like saying that Isaac newton "invented" gravity. duh...
I know, minutiae, idiot savant, yada yada, yada. Whatever. A Who is a Who, no matter how small.
actually they were called x-rays because they were determined as a unknown ray at the time.

the real name of x-rays is roentgen rays.
X-rays were discovered by German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (27 March 1845 - 10 February 1923) on 8 November 1895, when he produced and detectedelectromagnetic radiation in a wavelength range.
