Who are the top ten celebrities in the world?

1. Albert Einstein, pioneer and founder of modern physics. Einstein's special theory of relativity successfully revealed the Welch relationship between energy and mass, and solved the long-standing problem of stellar energy. In recent years, more and more high-energy physical phenomena have been discovered, and special relativity has become the basic theoretical tool to explain this phenomenon. His general theory of relativity also solved a mystery in astronomy for many years, and deduced the phenomenon of light bending that was later verified, which became the theoretical basis of many astronomical concepts later. 2. stephen william hawking, the most important contemporary general relativity and cosmologist, is one of the great men with international reputation in this century, known as the greatest living scientist, the father of the universe, the most famous scientific thinker and outstanding theoretical physicist in the world after Einstein. Hawking's life is very legendary. In terms of scientific achievements, he is one of the most outstanding scientists in history. He has transcended the theory of relativity, quantum mechanics and the Big Bang and entered the "geometric dance" to create the universe. Alfred bernhard Nobel, a Swedish chemist, engineer and industrialist, was the founder of the Nobel Prize. In the history of world science, he not only devoted his whole life to the cause of science, but also left a will and donated all his legacy to the cause of science in order to repay future generations and strive to climb the peak of science. Today, the science prize named after him has become the highest science prize that attracts worldwide attention. His name, together with the achievements made by mankind in scientific exploration, will always remain in the history of civilization in the development of human society. Isaac newton, English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher and alchemist. In the paper Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy published in 1687, he described gravity and three laws of motion. These descriptions laid the scientific view of the physical world in the next three centuries and became the basis of modern engineering. By demonstrating the consistency between Kepler's law of planetary motion and his theory of gravity, he showed that the movements of ground objects and celestial bodies all follow the same natural law; Thus, the last doubt about the sun center was eliminated and the scientific revolution was promoted. The famous British inventor V. James Watt was an important figure during the Industrial Revolution. He made a series of major improvements to the original prototype of the steam engine that had appeared at that time, and invented single-cylinder single-action and single-cylinder double-action steam engines, which improved the thermal efficiency and operational reliability of the steam engine and made outstanding contributions to the development of social productive forces at that time. There is such a compliment to the steam engine he invented: "It has armed human beings, made weak hands strong, and improved human brains to deal with all problems. It has laid a solid foundation for mechanical power to create miracles in the future and will help and reward the labor of future generations. " 6. wilbur wright and Orville Wright, American inventors, 1903 65438+ 17 In February, the world's first manned plane flew into the blue sky in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, USA. This plane is called "Voyager-1", and its inventors are American brothers wilbur wright and Orville Wright. This is the first time in the world to realize the power and maneuver flight of an aircraft heavier than air. The Wright brothers' first powered continuous flight realized the long-cherished dream of mankind, and the era of human flight began. Edison, an American electrician and inventor, is known as "the king of inventions in the world". In addition to his inventions and contributions in phonograph, electric light, telegraph and film, he also has many famous creations and opinions in mining, architecture, chemical industry and other fields. Edison had about 2,000 inventions in his life, which made great contributions to the progress of human civilization. Edison was also a great entrepreneur. 1892, Tom? Houston Company and Edison Electric Lighting Company merged to form General Electric Company, which opened the hegemony of General Electric in the electrical field for a century. Charles robert darwin, British naturalist, biologist, thinker and founder of the theory of evolution. 1859 published the Origin of Species, which shocked the academic circles at that time. It is proved by a large number of data in the book that all creatures in the shape of * * * are not created by God, but constantly develop and change in heredity, variation, survival competition and natural selection. From simple to complex, from low to high, the theory of biological evolution is put forward, thus destroying all kinds of idealistic creationism and species non-> >

Brief introduction of famous foreign figures

Louis Blair (1809.1.4-1852.1.6) is the inventor of Blair Braille, which is a universal writing system used by the blind and visually impaired. Blair Braille is a reading method in which the reader touches the characters composed of salient points with his fingers. This system has been applied to almost all known languages.

Blair was born in Copvalli, a small town in the east of Paris, France. His father Simon Ryan Blair is a saddle maker. At the age of three, Blair stabbed himself in the left eye with a sewing cone in his father's workshop. This incident destroyed his left eye, and soon his right eye was infected, suffering from neuroophthalmia and becoming blind. At the age of four, Blair was completely blind. Although Blair is disabled, he continues to go to school with the support of his parents until he can read and write.

At the age of ten, Blair won a scholarship to study at the Royal College for the Blind in Paris. This university is the first of its kind in the world. This scholarship makes his fate different from other blind people begging on the streets of Paris. However, the school situation is not much better: stale bread and water are provided to him, and students are often beaten and imprisoned.

Clever and creative, Blair became an excellent cellist and organist and played for churches all over France.

In this school, students can learn some basic craft skills and simple trade knowledge. They also learned to read through letters with prominent feelings (a reading system invented by Valentin Hay, the founder of the school). But these protruding letters are all pressed out on paper with copper wires, so the students have never learned how to write such words.

182 1 year, a retired naval officer named Charles Barbier visited this school. Barbier showed everyone the code he invented for writing at night. The system expresses the meaning through different arrangements of 12 bumps, which is used for soldiers to convey high-level secrets without talking on the battlefield. This code is difficult for ordinary soldiers to master, but Blair soon mastered it.

This year, Blair began to invent his own embossing code system with his father's sewing cone. He finished the invention at the age of 15. Blair's coding system, that is, Blair Braille, uses only six bumps to form each corresponding letter, while Barbier's system uses 12 dots to represent the corresponding pronunciation. This six-point system enables people to recognize letters and understand the meaning of all points by touching their fingers without moving or resetting the necessary steps in the 12 point method. Blair's system also has many advantages over Valentin Hay's system. The most obvious advantage is that people use Blair Braille, which is both readable and writable.

Later, Blair extended his code system to mathematics and music notation. The first book using Blair's Braille method was The Method of Writing, Composing and Writing Simple Songs by Fingers for the Blind published by 1827. 1839, Blair published some details about the method he developed to communicate with people with vision, and standardized Blair's braille printing form. Blair and his friend Pierre Foucault continue to develop a device that allows people to write code faster.

Blair has also become a respected teacher. He has been teaching in a school for the blind since he graduated. Although he was respected and loved by students, his Braille system was not allowed to be taught to students there before his death, so many students secretly learned from Blair outside school. Blair suffered from illness. 1852, he died of tuberculosis in Paris at the age of 43. His body was dug up by France in 1952 and moved to the Pantheon in Paris to bury the great men in French history.

We found that many things were invented by foreigners. What did we invent in China? Talents are all from outside.

Well, you look for the law of twelve averages.
