Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein remains a mythical figure of our time, more even than they became in life, if one
considers that its image in the poster condition and exhibiting an unusual gesture of derision, has
been elevated to the dignity of domestic icon, along with the idols of the song and the stars of
Hollywood.
However, there are his scientific genius and his human size that best explain it as myth, but perhaps
the accumulation of paradoxes contained in his own biography, accented with historical perspective.
When Einstein champion of pacifism is still remembered as the 'father of bomb', and still stream
which it has the proof of principle that "everything is relative" to him, who fought bitterly against the
possibility of knowing the actually meant to play with her blind man's buff.
Albert Einstein was born in the Bavarian city of Ulm on March 14, 1879. He was the eldest son of
Hermann Einstein and Pauline Koch, both Jews whose families came from Swabia. The following
year he moved to Munich, where the father was established, along with his brother Jakob, as
merchant for engineers of the time.
Little Albert was a quiet and withdrawn child, who had a slow intellectual development. Einstein
himself attributed to the slowness of the fact of being the only person to develop a theory of relativity
as "a normal adult is not disturbed by the problems posed by space and time, considering that all
there is to know about it already knows from his early childhood. I, on the contrary, I have had a
development so slow that I started to ask myself questions about space and time until I was old. "

"To make a perfect steam it was necessary that the cylinder should be always as hot as
the steam which entered it, and that the steam should be cooled below 100 degrees to
exert its full powers."

Thomas Alva Edison

Thomas Alva Edison (February 11, 1847 October 18, 1931) was
an American inventor and businessman. He developed many devices that greatly
influenced life around the world, including the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and
a long-lasting, practical electric light bulb. Dubbed "The Wizard of Menlo Park",[3] he was
one of the first inventors to apply the principles of mass production and large-scale
teamwork to the process of invention, and because of that, he is often credited with the
creation of the first industrial research laboratory.[4]
Edison was a prolific inventor, holding 1,093 US patents in his name, as well as many
patents in the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. More significant than the number of
Edison's patents was the widespread impact of his inventions: electric light and power
utilities, sound recording, and motion pictures all established major new industries worldwide. Edison's inventions contributed tomass communication and, in particular,
telecommunications. These included a stock ticker, a mechanical vote recorder, a battery
for an electric car, electrical power, recorded music and motion pictures.
His advanced work in these fields was an outgrowth of his early career as
a telegraph operator. Edison developed a system of electric-power generation and
distribution [5] to homes, businesses, and factories a crucial development in the modern
industrialized world. His first power station was on Pearl Street in Manhattan, New York.[5]
