Life-Changing Science Discoveries

 
Imagine life without antibiotics try. We estimated we would not survive without them. Here's a look discoveries have changed the world. To rank their importance, for it is impossible that they were found are listed.
Copernicum system

In 1543, Polish astronomer Nicholas Copernicus, while on his deathbed that the planets revolve around the sun with the theory of a dead body appeared in the center of the solar system. Copernicum system before it was launched, astronomers believe that the Earth was at the center of the universe.
Gravity

An English mathematician and physicist, Isaac Newton, the greatest scientist of all time is considered. In addition to his many discoveries, the most important perhaps is the law of universal gravitation them about. In 1664, Newton thought that gravity is the force by which objects are to each other. Due to explain why things fall and planets orbit around the sun.
Power

If electricity makes life easier for us, you can thank Michael Faraday. The two major discoveries that have changed our lives. In 1821, he found that the wire when an electric current is placed in a magnetic telegraph pole will rotate. This led to the development of electric motor. Ten years later, through a magnetic field, an electric current by moving a wire to produce became the first man. Experience first generator Faraday, pioneer of heavy generators that produce our electricity.
Evolution

When British naturalist Charles Darwin, the theory of evolution came in 1859 with, how life developed on Earth has changed our view. Darwin argued that all organisms evolved or changed, slowly with time. These changes are derived from a species to survive in environments that allow for that. This is the opportunity for reform. If a species does not adapt, it can be done. The process of natural selection, but it is often referred to as the survival of fittest.
Louis Pasteur

French chemist Louis Pasteur in the 1860s began experimenting with bacteria did not know people who are sick. He not only discovered the disease from microorganisms, but they also felt the heat and bacteria can be killed by disinfectant. The idea for doctors to wash their hands and their equipment, which has saved millions of lives sterilize.
The theory of relativity

Albert Einstein's theory of special relativity, the speed of which he published in 1905, explains the relationship between time and distance.This theory is the basis of most modern science.
Big Bang Theory

No one knows how the universe came into existence, but many scientists believe that with a mass explosion 13.7 billion years ago was the Big Bang. In 1927, The Big Bang Theory GEORGES Lemaître proposed the universe. Theory says that all matter in the universe was actually a collection of small dots. In a second part, com extension, and the issue is now urgent that our universe is filled. Event start time. Scientific observations have confirmed the theory.
Penicillin

Powerful antibiotics to drug our bodies that we are sick kill dangerous bacteria. In 1928, Alexander Fleming, the first antibiotic, penicillin, in which he grew in his lab using mold and fungi discovered. Without antibiotics, strep throat can be fatal infection like.
DNA

Feb 28, 1953, James Watson, Francis Crick of the United States and England, one of the greatest scientific discoveries are made. Both the structure of DNA Double Helix scientists have found. These two strands that twist around each other and chemical samples follow the instructions for the human body formation is almost an infinite variety is made. Our genes are made of DNA and how to determine what color hair and eyes to things we would have liked. In 1962, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for this work. Discovering help doctors understand diseases like cancer and heart disease and may prevent some diseases someday.
Periodic table

Russian chemist Dmitry Mendeleev's periodic table of 1869 proposed by periodic law is based. He was found by the atomic weight, chemical elements lined up to form groups with similar characteristics. To predict the existence of undiscovered elements and to note errors in atomic weight was able to use. In 1913, Henry Moseley confirmed that the England table more accurate atomic number, number of protons in an element is an atom of the element can be made by arrangement.
X-ray

In 1895, a German physicist, Wilhelm Roentgen X-ray discovered. X-ray right through some stuff, like meat and wood, but others such as bones and leadership are stopping by. The broken suitcases, which is useful for doctors and security officials in the bones or explosives will be used for viewing allows. To make this discovery, Roentgen 1901 the first Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded.
Quantum Theory

Danish physicist Niels Bohr in modern physics, one of the most important statistics is considered.He helped develop the atomic bomb, they often use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes to promote.
Atomic Bomb

Mixed legacy of the atomic bomb is to successfully finish in World War II, the nuclear arms race is beginning. Some of the greatest scientists in the early 1940s to collect data and how to improve uranium to make a nuclear bomb. Their work was called Manhattan Project. In 1945, the United States dropped atomic bombs against Japanese cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Tens of thousands of civilians were killed immediately and Japan has surrendered. It was only two atomic bombs ever used in war are left. Many scientists who worked on the Manhattan Project on Government urged to use nuclear energy only for peaceful purposes. However, many countries have nuclear weapons arsenal. Some people say that nuclear weapons of mass destruction that could result actually prevents countries from using them.
HIV / AIDS

In 1983 and 1984, the United States, France Luc Montagnier and Robert Gallo's HIV virus is discovered and decided that was the cause of AIDS. Since scientists to determine if a person is HIV tests has been developed. Those who test positive precautions to prevent the spread of disease called what they are. HIV and AIDS drugs to keep under control are available for. It is hoped that further research will lead to the development of a cure.
