1. -What are some of the most important
people in history?
-What are some of the most famous
inventors or discoveries in history?
2. The most important people in the
history
Cristóbal colón
was a navigator, cartographer,
Admiral, Viceroy and Governor
General of India in the service
of the Crown of Castile, famous
for making the so-called
discovery of America in 1492.
3. Ludwig Van Beethoven
was a composer, conductor and pianist
German. His musical legacy includes,
chronologically, from the classical period to
early musical romanticism. It is one of the
most important composers in the history of
music and his legacy has had a decisive
influence on later music.
4. Aristóteles
it was a polymath: philosopher, logician,
and scientist of ancient Greece whose
ideas have had an enormous influence
on Western intellectual history for more
than two millennia.
5. Hernán Cortéz
Spanish conquistador of the Aztec
empire (today the center of Mexico). I
Marquis of the Valley of Oaxaca,
governor and captain general of New
Spain.
6. Bill Gates
better known as Bill Gates, is an
entrepreneur and philanthropist, co-
founder of the software company
Microsoft. Recently returned to hold the
title of being the world's richest man.
7. Pelé
Is a retired Brazilian footballer. It is
considered by many former players, for
various sporting bodies, journalists and
the media in general, and much of
football fans as the best player in the
history of the sport.
He was elected the best player of the
century in a poll done by the winners of
the Golden Ball IFFHS named him the
best player in the world and the
International Olympic Committee
awarded the title of the best athlete of
the twentieth century. He was
considered the best player ever in a
survey conducted by the members of the
Football Committee of that institution
and the FIFA Magazine subscribers.
8. Homero
Is the name given to the ancient Greek
bard who is traditionally credited with
authorship of the major Greek epic
poems - the Iliad and the Odyssey-
9. Julio César
Was a skilled military strategist and
courageous, whose victories allowed to
extend the Roman territory, was a
shrewd politician, whose populist policies
won him the affection of large segments
of the population. In the same way,
highlighted as an outstanding writer
whose writings, such as The Gallic War
are among the most accomplished of
classical Latin.
10. The most famous inventors or discover
´s in the history
Isaac Newton
Was a physicist, philosopher,
theologian, inventor, alchemist and
English mathematician, author of
Philosophiae naturalis principia
mathematica, better known as the
Principia, which described the law
of universal gravitation and laid the
foundations of mechanics
clásicamediante laws that bear his
name. His other works include
scientific discoveries about the
nature of light and optics (presented
mainly in his Opticks) and the
development of mathematical
calculation.
11. Albert Einstein
was a German physicist of Jewish origin, nationalized after U.S. and
Switzerland. It is considered as the most important scientist of the
twentieth century. Manuel Alfonseca 1000 quantifies the importance of
scientists of all time and, on a scale of 1-8, Einstein and Freud are the
only twentieth century to achieve the highest score, 1 Einstein also
qualifies as "the most popular and well-known scientific twentieth
century
In 1905, when he was an unknown young physicist, used in the Bern
Patent Office, published his theory of special relativity. It sat in a simple
theoretical framework based on simple physical principles, concepts
and phenomena studied earlier by Henri Poincaré and Hendrik Lorentz.
As a logical consequence of this theory, derived the equation of physics
known at the grassroots: the mass-energy equivalence, E = mc ². That
year he published other works that would lay foundation for statistical
physics and quantum mechanics.
In 1915, he presented the theory of general relativity, which
reformulated the whole concept of gravedad.3 One consequence was
the emergence of the scientific study of the origin and evolution of the
universe by the branch of physics called cosmology. In 1919, when the
British observations of a solar eclipse confirmed his predictions about
the bending of light, was idolized by the prensa.4 Einstein became an
icon of popular science world famous, a privilege available to very few
scientists .
12. Galileo Galilei
was an astronomer, philosopher,
Italian mathematician and physicist
who is closely associated with the
scientific revolution. Eminent
Renaissance man was interested in
almost all sciences and arts (music,
literature, painting). His achievements
include improvements to the
telescope, a variety of astronomical
observations, the first law of motion
and decisive support for
Copernicanism. It has been regarded
as the "father of modern astronomy,"
the "father of modern physics" and the
"father of science
13. Charles Darwin
was an English naturalist who postulated
that all species of life have evolved over
time from common ancestors through a
process called natural selection. The
evolution was accepted as fact by the
scientific community and much of the
public life of Darwin, while his theory of
evolution by natural selection was not
considered as the primary explanation of
the evolutionary process until the 1930s.
Currently forms the basis of modern
evolutionary theory. In modified form,
Darwin's scientific discoveries are still
the foundation charter of biology as a
science, since they constitute a logical
explanation that unifies observations
about the diversity of life.
14. Hermanos Wright
are named together and known
worldwide for being pioneers in the
history of aviation.
The brothers were bicycle makers are
nevertheless known for his contributions
in the field of aviation. They design and
manufacture a plane controllable, which
was able to plan on a short flight using a
powered external catapult. This plane
never was able to fly on its own,
because its design had not allowed
enough lift to stay aloft. However, when
thrown into the air with a catapult
external short flight was achieved,
sufficient to test the steering and control
system aircraft.
15. Louis Pasteur
was a French chemist whose discoveries
had enormous importance in various
fields of natural sciences, especially
chemistry and microbiology. He was
responsible for the technique known as
pasteurization.
Their contributions in organic chemistry
was the discovery of tartaric acid
dimorphism, observing the microscope
showed that the two types racemic glass
mirror symmetry. It was discovered by
both right-handed and left-handed forms
which diverted the plane of polarization
of light at the same angle but in the
opposite direction.
16. Antoine Lavoisier
chemist, biologist and French economist,
considered the founder of modern
chemistry, with his wife, Marie-Anne
Pierrette scientific Paulze, for his studies
on the oxidation of the bodies, the
phenomenon of animal respiration, air
analysis, the law of conservation of mass
or Lomonosov-Lavoisier law, the heat
and combustion theory.
17. James Watt
it was a Scottish engineer. The
improvements made in the Newcomen
engine led to the so-called steam, which
would be essential in the development of
the Industrial Revolution in both the UK
and the rest of the world.
