whos your favorite Scientist/inventor and why?

[redline]

me: Nikola Tesla. he obtain 300 patents

Theoretical and claimed inventions

Wireless Transmission of Electricity
Electric Submarine
Teleforce
Death ray
Mechanical Oscillator
Free Energy
Earthquake Machine
Force Field
Anti-Gravity Aircraft
Thought Camera

I guess Albert Einstein should be exempted. Even though I really admire how he handled his personal struggles in life.

Anyway, my favorite would probably be Richard Feynman. He was just as brilliant as Einstein. He spearheaded the Modern Physics revolution. He was also a very witty clever guy. He also has the most informative and understandable video lectures on several topics in Modern Physics. He's an amazing instructor. He teach physics in great awe, which you simply can not resist. =) hehehe

I see. whats his Theoretical and claimed inventions?

to TS: is it scientist AND inventor? or is it scientist OR inventor?
some scientists are not inventors.

some scientists are inventors.

either.. its ur choice..

either.. its ur choice..

so it was unnecessary to ask fritzd about feynman's "Theoretical and claimed inventions." It is enough that feynman was a renowned physicist.

Sorry boss. wala ko kabaw nga scientist and inventor diay imong pasabot.. hehe

anyway, sakto gihapon.. although Richard Feynman was a theoretical physicist. He worked closely with engineers. During the 70's when IBM was developing powerful super computers, Feynman has a Computer Scientist friend who was trying to solve the heating problem of the ICs. He couldn't solve the problem using conventional means that he knew. Richard Feynman approached the problem in a different way proposed his own scheme. In the end, his friend used Richard's method. So in a way, Feynman made some great contributions. You don't really need to ask me about Richard Feynman. There are so many things about him on the net. He is one of the most influential people of the 21st century. He won the Nobel Prize, for goodness sake....

But if you really insist on the Scientist AND Inventor idea, my favorite then would be Theodore Maiman. He is an Experimental Physicist. He built/INVENTED the first working LASER which was a solid state RUBY laser. At that time, nobody knew what to use it for but now, it is the sole of Optics and Photonics and Technology of today. It is also the core of my research field. hehe Peace!

Alexander Graham Bell for me. I admire his work on telephones that evolved into the internet

[Tirong-say]

For me Thomas Edison, he developed so many devices that become very useful to us, one of those is the light bulb.

ako sad... mad scientist kuno siya..

death ray? unsa mna gytud ni siya wala ko ksabot...
