People Who Changed the World in Technology:

There are countless people who changed the world. This is as per my knowledge and perceptions , and you are free to enter your ideas at the bottom of this page. So, here we go.


1. Einstein -


Reinvented 20th century physics with over 300 papers. He actually spent 10 years figuring out the Theory of Relativity (e=mc^2) and the paper was just 3 pages long. Defintely one of the smartest people who changed the world in science.







2.Sir Isaac Newton -

Thanks to an apple falling from a tree, he came up with the law of gravity. Developed theories which became classical or Newtonian Physics. We still use his equations to this day.







3.Charles Darwin -

Credited with the theory of Evolution. Who would've thought we evolved from apes?








4.Galileo Galilei -


He is considered the "Father of Science". He went against the Catholic church for his ideas and was placed under house arrest. Amazing that his ideas actually came through.





5.Louis Pasteur -


First to prove the Germ Theory, and invented the pasteurization process. Almost all of our milk has been cooked; we have him to thank for it.









6.Bi Sheng -

Considered to be the inventor of paper. The invention was like the internet at the time. It allowed people to exchange and pass down ideas. Only thing is, the Chinese government banned the printing press at the time. To me, he's one of the most underrated people who changed the world.








7.Neils Bohr -

discovered fundamental structure of the Atom which paved the way for quantum physics. I still remember the Bohr model discussed in my high school chemistry class.










8.Werner Heisenberg -

The nobel prize science winner for the foundations Quantum mechanics. Guys like him are the reasons we have computers.











9.Nikola Tesla -

Best known for inveting the AC-Alternating Current, but also invented the radio. Competitor, Thomas Edison was probably a better 'businessman', but Tesla's standards is the one that prevailed for 'lighting the world' with alternating currents.








10.Sigmund Freud -

A psychologist best known for his unconsious mind theories, which was later discovered to be composed of about 80% our brain.
