Some Scientists You Probably Don't Know But Probably Should. by Nobody: 9:20pm On Dec 11, 2015 |
Quick! who invented the theory of relativity? You smirk and reel out his name. Albert Einstein of course. that . . . irrevocable Genius. well, no problem then. Quick! who founded Quantum theory? hehehe. well, no. It's not einstein. so, I thought i should just Talk about Five Scientists which i think deserve more attention than we're giving them now. James Clerk maxwell. This brilliant physicist derived the Maxwell equations. a set of equations that properly unify the entire behavior of electricity and magnetism. your computer, wires, and a host of other electrical and magnetic items work on the principles of the equations he derived. he is frequently listed as the third most influential physicist. and with good reason. you totally should know this guy. and if you can, Learn his equations! Max Planck. This was the guy who founded quantum mechanics. interestingly, when he wanted to study physics, he was told by the professor, "almost everything in this field has been discovered." max later went on to derive the fact that energy is quantized. that it came in discreet packages. he has the planck constant named after him, and he made significant contributions to the study of the behavior of black bodies. Gottfried Leibniz This guy invented calculus independently of newton. he wrote several philosophical treatises on life and the universe. he also refined the binary counting system, worked on calculators and made several contributions to science. the notation, dy/dx was actually HIS work. not newton's. Neil degrasse tyson This man . . . is proof that skin means nothing. neil is a black astrophysicist, cosmologist, and science communicator. he is 57 years old. and he is the director of the Hayden planetarium in new york and he hosts several radio and tv shows, meant to sensitize the public to the mysteries and science. he is a well rounded individual and a really . . . really funny guy. you can follow him on twitter and you can also read his book, titled, death by black hole. especially if you're new to science. Elon musk musk is a very brilliant person. he is a physicist and an economist and the owner of a large business empire. he is a very rich man, and he is a self proclaimed engineer. which no one has ever dared to dispute. his notable works include paypal, and electric cars. he is the owner of tesla motors. a brand of cars that are electrical, hence help to reduce greenhouse emissions. he is ALSO the owner of SpaceX an American aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company. they make rockets and their chief aim is to make space travel cheap for us all in the nearest future. http://www.gdevit.com/topic105/some-scientists-you-probably-don-t-know-but-probably-should- Johnydon22, hahn, dekatron. 15 Likes 2 Shares |

FTC!!! Make I join them. But I no wan join end time crew............ They are all genius.......this people's findings has been giving the world serious headache o. Many of them did not attend any formal school yet they are still called scientist, and our cambridge professor here has invent nothing.......our education system here is 500 years backward. 3 Likes |

Feraz:Elon musk is also my role model. researching him gave me a lot of insight on how to tackle the Nigerian problem. Degrasse tyson is my behavioral role model. 1 Like |

I know them all- except Elon & I know he is the CEO, Tesla motors, but didn't know he is a scientist. Where then, is Paul Dirac? Enrico Fermi & Sateynhandra Bosé (Indian) or whats his name? That did Einstein-Bose condensate with Einstein? People don't know him, yet he did ALOT!! They are quite many 7 Likes |

darkhorizon:as of now, I have physics in mind. |
Re: Some Scientists You Probably Don't Know But Probably Should. by Nobody: 1:38pm On Dec 12, 2015 |
Preboy:Yup it's definitely a physics list. I'm going to make another list later. perhaps on computer science? I already have john von nuemann and Alan turing in mind. |
Re: Some Scientists You Probably Don't Know But Probably Should. by Nobody: 2:47pm On Dec 12, 2015 |
No Alan Turing,Locke, Descartes, Sigmund freud, Alexa Canady Tsk, tsk, tsk, Teempakguy, Physicists are not the only scientists you know |

SirWere: Okay fine. expect another list. |

Teempakguy:Definitely! Lalasticlala, UJsizzle (The ghostly science mod ) and Seun, you can't keep placing the science and Tech section on the backfoot. Because I don't understand why Tonte dike's pimple makes FP and this one won't Ban me if you will but let this thread hit FP. 4 Likes |

Teempakguy we need lists of Nigerian bases scientists too. great work you are doing. you seem like a Ph.D student. I love your boldness. God's grace |

Teempakguy: don't mind them. if its Tonto dike with idi Amin, it would have been infront page. Have you read of Prof.A.O.E.Animalu?? Google about him. He did a great work and I suppose you are preparing a list on Nigerian scientists please do, we are waiting for it. God's great grace 2016 sir. |
