Who are the famous scientists in human history?

There are many great scientists in this world. However, these people are undoubtedly the shoulders of those later scientists, who let more scientists see farther. They are undoubtedly giants that let other scientists step on their shoulders. Even in terms of moral quality, these famous scientists are quite good.

First place: Archimedes (about 287 ~ 2 BC12) was a famous physicist and mathematician in ancient Greece and the founder of statics and hydrostatics. He discovered the law of buoyancy in the process of studying floating bodies, which is also known as Archimedes principle. It is said that the Roman emperor regretted it when he learned that his soldiers had killed Archimedes. Some even joked that if he could live for 500 years, so would human beings.

Second place: Newton, a master of physical mechanics and a great British scientist, pioneered the principles of classical physical mechanics and laid the foundation of modern physics. Newton's law of motion is the general name of the three laws of motion put forward by isaac newton, and it is regarded as the basis of classical physics.

Third place: Einstein, the founder of relativity, a famous German physicist. The famous mass-energy equation is put forward, and the relationship between matter and energy is expounded in detail, which makes it possible for a substance the size of a fingernail to completely release huge energy.

Fourth place: In the 3rd century BC, Euclid, a famous mathematician in ancient Greece, founded Euclid geometry, which is now the "primitive geometry" of middle school students. Its appearance is an extremely far-reaching event in the history of mathematics development and a milestone in the history of human civilization. For more than 2000 years, this book has been in a dominant position in geometry teaching, and its position has not been shaken so far. Many countries, including China, still use it as a geometry textbook.

Fifth place: michael faraday (179 1- 1867).

A famous British physicist and chemist has made outstanding contributions in the fields of chemistry, electrochemistry and electromagnetism. He founded the famous laws of electromagnetic induction and electrolysis. Without his contribution, mankind will continue to grope in the dark for a long time. Imagine what a civilized society would be like without the application of electricity now.

Sixth place: lavoisier, a famous French chemist and one of the founders of modern chemistry. His masterpiece, The Outline of Chemistry, marks the birth of modern chemistry. Based on the experience of chemical experiments, lavoisier expounded the law of conservation of mass and its application in chemistry in clear language. These works, especially his new ideas, theories and viewpoints, laid an important foundation for the development of modern chemistry, so people later called them lavoisier.

Seventh place: edward jenner, a British medical expert, invented and popularized a method to prevent the terrible smallpox-vaccination, which saved thousands of lives.

Eighth place: French scientist Pasteur, the father of microorganisms, initiated the epoch-making significance of studying disease pathology. French microbiologist, chemist and founder of modern microbiology. Like Newton, Pasteur was a pioneer in the field of microbiology, and he was also a scientific giant.

Ninth place: Pythagoras-a famous mathematician in ancient Greece. No matter how to explain the external material world or describe the internal spiritual world, mathematics is indispensable! Pythagoras lived 2500 years ago, and he was the first person to realize that there is a law of numbers behind everything. Pythagoras himself is famous for discovering Pythagoras theorem (called Pythagoras theorem in the west). Pythagoras did a lot of research on number theory, and divided natural numbers into odd numbers, even numbers, prime numbers, perfect numbers, squares, triangles and pentagons. Later generations called it "the father of mathematics".

Tenth place: andreas vesaliua, a famous doctor and anatomist, the founder of modern human anatomy, Vesaliua is as famous as Copernicus and one of the two representatives of the scientific revolution. 15141231,Vesaliua was born in a medical family in brussels, Belgium. In 2006, Vesaliua, who was only 28 years old, finally finished his representative work "Body Tissue", which was described according to several systems, such as bones, tendons, nerves, and so on.30086.00000000006 The publication of this book clarified all kinds of mistakes in Galen school's subjective speculation, thus putting anatomy on the right track. It can be said that the book Human Tissue is an important symbol of the establishment of scientific anatomy.

No. 1 1 Name: Copernicus, the founder of Heliocentrism, broke the "geocentric theory" which ruled Europe and even the world for nearly a thousand years. The appearance of his famous scientific work "The Theory of Celestial Bodies" liberated astronomy from the bondage of religious theology and gave birth to natural science, which is of epoch-making significance in the development of modern science.

Twelfth place: john dalton (1766- 1844), a famous British chemist and physicist, the father of modern chemistry. Dalton put forward the concept of quantification in chemistry, and summarized the law of conservation of mass, the law of constant ratio and the law of combined quantity (equivalent). On this basis, the compound was found in 1803. Dalton is known as the "father of modern chemistry" and the founder of modern chemistry because of his keen theoretical thinking and outstanding experimental ability, especially in the study of atoms.

13th place: Galileo (1564 ~ 1642) was a great astronomer, mechanic, philosopher, physicist and mathematician in the late Italian Renaissance. He is also a pioneer of modern experimental physics and is known as "the father of modern science". He founded the famous law of free fall.

14th place: British scientist Harvey (1578- 1657). When it comes to understanding people's blood circulation, no one seems to doubt it for teenagers nowadays. However, in ancient times, it was not easy to understand it, and many scientists and scholars paid a high price-blood and life. It can be said that Harvey is a doctor, physiologist and doctor. Among them, 1628, an epoch-making work, Anatomical Research on Animal Heart and Blood Movement (the Chinese version of this book is famous for its theory of heart-blood movement), marks the birth of modern physiology and also establishes Harvey's important position in the history of scientific development.

No. 15: Planck, a famous German physicist, the pioneer and founder of quantum physics, 19 18 Nobel Prize winner in physics.

Planck's great achievement is the creation of quantum theory, which is a great change in the history of physics, ending the situation that classical physics dominates the world.

Sixteenth place: the discoverer of X-ray, German physicist Roentgen, completely subverted the traditional diagnosis and treatment methods that have influenced human beings to study human diseases for thousands of years. 1985, the German physicist wilhelm konrad rontgen discovered X-rays, which opened up a new way for human beings to use X-rays to diagnose and treat diseases and pioneered medical imaging technology.

17: British scientist Turing, father of computer. It can be said that he is the soul of the computer. During his short career, Turing made in-depth research in the fields of quantum mechanics, mathematical logic, biology and chemistry. In his later years, he also started a new discipline-nonlinear mechanics.

18: British bacteriologist Fleming-invented penicillin and saved hundreds of millions of lives. In recognition of his contribution to mankind, Fleming won the 1945 Nobel Prize in Medicine.

19: Pioneer of industrial revolution, inventor of steam engine-Englishman Watt. It can be said that without the steam engine invented by him, there would be no modern industrial revolution and the era of great navigation, and the whole modern history would be rewritten.

20th place: American scientist salk, inventor of polio vaccine (also known as polio), saved thousands of lives and physical disabilities. What is more admirable is that he refused to apply for a patent for the health of all mankind.
