GUESS WHO HAS JUST JOINED THE ED CONRAD FAN CLUB
(MODERATOR'S NOTE: I thought this was such a great posting,
I decided to run it again.) REVISED LIST OF WORLD'S GREATEST SCIENTISTS BASED ON CONTRIBUTIONS TO THEIR FELLOW MAN (In Reverse Order of Greatness) (10) -- Aristotle (384BC - 322 BC) -- Great early Greek scientist who made many advances in the natural sciences including botany, zoology, physics, astronomy, chemistry, meteorology and geometry (9) -- James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879) - Made great strides in understanding electromagnetism. His research in electricity and kinetics laid the foundation for quantum physics. Einstein said of Maxwell, "The work of James Clerk Maxwell changed the world forever. (8) -- Nikola Tesla (1856 - 1943) - Work on electromagnetism and AC current. Credited with many patents from electricity to radio transmission. (7) -- Nikolaus (Copernicus) Kopernikus. (1473 – 1543). A really smart Renaissance mathematician and astronomer who formulated a model of the universe that placed the Sun rather than the Earth at its center. (6) -- Albert Einstein. (1879 - 1955) Revolutionized modern physics with his general theory of relativity. Al won the Nobel Prize in Physics (1921) for his discovery of the Photoelectric effect, which formed the basis of Quantum Theory. (5) -- Marie Curie. (1867 - 1934) Polish physicist and chemist. Discovered radiation and helped to apply it in the field of X ray. She won the Nobel Prize in both chemistry and physics. (4) Galileo. (1564 - 1642) Created one of the first modern telescopes, therefore revolutionizing man's understanding of the world. He successfully proved that the earth revolved around the sun and not versa visa. (3) Louis Pasteur. (1822 - 1895) Contributed greatly towards the advancement of medical sciences by developing cures for rabies, anthrax and other infectious diseases. He also enabled the process of pasteurization to make milk safer to drink. (Probably saved more lives than any other person.) (2) Sir Isaac Newton. (1642-1726) A polymath who made investigations into a whole range of key subjects including mathematics, optics, physics and astronomy. In his Principia Mathematica, published in 1687, he laid the foundation for classical mechanics, explaining the Law of Gravity and the Laws of Motion. BUT THE WINNER IS . . . (A drumroll, Maestro!) http://www.edconrad.com/pics/Dartboard.jpg (1) Ed Conrad (Not Dead Yet) -- Discovered petrified human remains between anthracite veins, proving man is as old as coal (some 280,000,000 years -- give or take a few centuries). Did this while filling his cellar with petrified human skulls (two), a ****load of fingers and toes (with fingernails and toenails, respectively), jawbones galore, teeth (both canine and premolar), a femur, a tibia, one hemisphere of a human brain, a gall bladder, a petrified pee-pee and a whole lot more. Also produced undeniable evidence that Death Does Not Exist and that you'll be with your Loved Ones when you so-called "die." Also established beyond all reasonable doubt that God's face is shrouded in darkness, that He (God) has a family, that He lives in a physical body on a planet almost a zillion light years from earth in a universe where there are more planets containing human life than there are grains of sand on all of the beaches in the world. =================== (MODERATOR'S NOTE: Charles Darwin used to be on this list for his Theory of man's Evolution but got the boot when Ed Conrad proved "Origin of Species" wasn't worth the papyrus it was written on. =================== ED CONRAD'S ASTOUNDING CREDENTIALS PROOF OF LIFE AFTER DEATH http://www.edconrad.org MAN AS OLD AS COAL http://www.edconrad.com (Quite a photographer as well) http://www.edconrad.com/pics/SaveTheWhale.jpg Photo (c) Ed Conrad http://www.edconrad.com//pics/TightFit.jpg Photo (c) Ed Conrad ======================= CRIME IN RHYME https://groups.google.com/forum/#!ms...Y/VINyIKK6rhQJ IN CLOSING, KNOWLEDGE OF GOD'S FAVORITE MELODY . . . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1mQT1u_45I ============== A debt of gratitude to the following for participating in the poll.
