Einstein:

Physics and math teacher.SpeakerHollywood star"father of atomic energy,"Einstein wrote many theoretical papers on the topic of physics.

In 1905, Einstein examined Max Plancks phenomenon about electromagnetic theory. He used this hypothesis to explain electromagnetic radiation and the photoelectric effect.

In 1911, Einstein became a professor at Karl-Ferdinand University in Prague, and in 1912, Einstein started his research on gravitational forces and called it the General Theory of Relativity.

In 1921, Einsttein recieved a Nobel Prize for his work on the photoelectric effect from 1905.

It was June 1905 when Einstein published his breakthrough theory on the relativity of time and space. Later in September, Einstein unveiled his famous theory, e=mc squared, or energy equals mass times the speed of light squared.

He had supreme self-confidence in his ability to sniff out the true nature of the world, and he did that not by experiment, but just by thought, by pure thought.

He did this wonderful thing called the Gedanken experiment, which from the German translates to "thought" experiment. And if he needed an experiment, he would imagine it, very cheap form of experiment. But he would just imagine, like an elevator falling through space with its cable cut, and imagine what happened if you did an experiment inside that freely falling elevator.

Edison:

Edison published and printed his own newspaper he invented and patented the electric vote recorder. His search for new telegraphic applications allowed him to start a service delivering financial news to brokerages.Edison invented the universal stock tickerHe opened a laboratory and factory in Newark.
He invented the motograph and automatic telegraph system. He also invented the duplex and multiplex telegraph systems. Not only that, he also invented wax paper and the carbon rheostat.Edison invented the electric pen used for the first mimeographs. The next year he improved the mimeograph machinehe did invent a speaker diaphragm improvement to the device in 1877, at age 30. His device made the telephone commercially practical.That same year, Edison invented the phonograph. He used an electromagnetic powered needle to scratch a waveform in a wax cylinder. For his test recording, he recited the poem "Mary Had a Little Lamb" into a speaker diaphragm he had invented for the telephone.Then by rotating the wax cylinder at the same speed that was used to make the recording, the vibration of the needle now created an electrical current through the electromagnet, resulting in sound coming from a speaker.perfected the incandescent lampHe also invented the Edison dynamo—his version of a device for creating a steady supply of direct current (DC) electricity. Along with his engineers, Edison developed a system of distribution and regulation of electric current.invented the magnetic ore separator and discovered the "Edison Effect"Edison General Electric Company o=\pened the first electric power station in New York City.developed a wireless induction telegraph systeminvented the motion picture camera.Edison created an electric chairhe invented the fluoroscope, which photographs x-rays. That same year, he also invented the fluorescent electric lampinvented the nickel-iron-alkaline storage batterystarted the Edison Portland Cement Companyhad invented the phonographhe invented the electric safety miner's lamp. His laboratory also discovered the process for making synthetic carbolic acid,

Newton:

Newton's accomplishments in life were many. Generally, he devoted much of his energy towards alchemy, theology, and history.

In 1668, Newton built the first reflecting telescope. During his lifetime he was involved in the development of calculus. It was Newton who struck upon the laws of motion and the law of gravitation. He sat in parliament, 1689-90. In 1696, he was appointed warden of the Mint; and then, in 1699, he was appointed the master of the Mint, a position which he held until his death. He sat again in parliament in 1701 for his university. In 1703, Newton was to become the president of the Royal Society, another post that he held at his death. In 1705, Newton was knighted by Queen Anne.
