13 Inventors whose ideas changed the World

1. Johannes Gutenberg (movable type printing press)
2. Albert Einstein - even though he helped create/define quantum mechanics, he doubted it had any practical application in the real world. He also developed the Theory of Relativity.

3. The telescope--The credit usually goes to Hans Lippershey, a Dutch lens maker, in 1608. Soon after, Galileo read about it and made his own, a more powerful one. He then observed the moons of Jupiter and confirmed Copernicus' hypothesis of a heliocentric solar system.

7. George Washington Carver - developed crop rotation in the south to grow legumes (peanuts) on soils depleted by cotton and invented adhesives, axle grease, bleach, chili sauce, creosote, dyes, flour, instant coffee, shoe polish, shaving cream, vanishing cream, wood stains and fillers, insulating board, linoleum, meat tenderizer, metal polish, milk flakes, soil conditioner and Worcestershire sauce. In all, he developed 300 products from peanuts and 118 from sweet potatoes - just to mention a few.
