The invention of Electric Light

The electric light is one of the world's smartest creations because of its existence in the world
presently. The electric bulb has added additional light to the day and night, including the light
projected by our natural light sources. Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931), got all praises when it
came to the creation of the bulb. Nevertheless, electric light conversations and theories rose
before his invention. His version of the light bulb; not being too bright, a higher vacuum than
others and economically viable brought him to the spotlight.

However, Humphry Davy (1778-1829) pioneered the electric bulb. Furthermore, he used a
battery introduced by Alessandro Volta for electrolysis to produce light in the 19th century. He
was obsessed with chemistry that he also experimented with himself and others during his
experimental years.
Edison and Davy are the topics when it came to the electric bulb. Little did we know that a black
man who was a slave had an important part in the present existence of the light bulb. Lewis
Howard Latimer (1847-1928), a skilled draftsman and inventor himself, improved the filament of
the lightbulb. He encased the filament within a carboard envelope which prevented the carbon
from breaking. This provided longer life of the bulb and also made it cheaper and efficient. He
was then recruited in 1890 to the Edison Electric Light Company owned by Thomas Alva Edison
where he was a draftsman and inspected Edison’s work. He also wrote a book called
‘Incandescent Electric Lighting’. Lewis Howard Latimer is known as a chartered member of the
Edison Pioneer.

This invention has benefitted countless persons. It has given us an excessive amount of light
throughout the years, as well as provides businesses and jobs for individuals. Persons that
benefitted from this invention are those who sell and buy home appliances, power plants,
transmission lines and production of chlorine, sodium, and hydroxide.
 Discovery of Gravitation

How did one apple tree change our lives? This is the question asked by many over 300 years.
According to Sir Isaac Newton's theory of gravitation, it started under an apple tree where an
apple fell on his head. That apple somehow triggered his neurons. Years later of curiosity, he
discovered that gravitational force was the answer to why the apple and different experiments
fell. He then brought forth his three laws of motion in 1987.
The first law states that an object in motion would stay in motion, but an object at rest would stay
in rest unless acted upon by an external force. This is also classified as the law of inertia. We see
examples of this law in our everyday life such as stones on the floor, standing still, a parked car
or box on the table.
His second law states that force is the product of mass times acceleration. The greater the mass,
the greater force it will need to accelerate the object. Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
An example of this law is the difference between lifting a syringe and a pint of blood.
Newton’s third law tells us that for every action, there is an equal or opposite reaction. It is also
known as the law of action and reaction. An example of this law would be throwing a ball with
extra force. This will cause the ball to bounce because of the ground’s upward force.
Newton's three laws have impacted how we think about any movement. It is used in schools to
teach physical movement and is used by well-known space companies to establish normal and
abnormal movements on earth and external particles in space.
 Invention of Pasteurization

Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) was a skilled man when it came to studying microorganisms. He
made some unforgettable accomplishments. Additionally, his years of study has a tremendous
impact on today's world. Louis Pasteur (1822-1895), saved countless lives with his research.
Pasteurization is one of the inventions during his other discoveries.
His invention of pasteurization, which is also named after him is a heat treatment that is used to
destroy pathogens in food and drinks. Louis Pasteur’s research focused on why grapes that were
being fermented for wine would go sour during the fermentation period, even though they were
put through the same process using the same ingredients. He discovered that there was a
chemical in the wine that caused the grapes to go sour. The knowledge of this led him to the
invention of pasteurization which saved winemakers in 1849. Although germ theory had been
proposed before, no one was able to analyze it like Mr. Louis Pasteur.
This germ theory was the foundation for his other amazing inventions like vaccinations which
are now highly used in the field of medicine all around the world. Additionally, it is now being
taught in schools as microbiology, mole chirality, and stereochemistry. It is also being used in
the medical field for testing and evolution of germs particles.
 Discovery of Penicillin

Penicillin Equation

The discovery of penicillin was made by Alexander Fleming in 1906 at St Mary's Hospital in
London where he worked for some time. He is also known as the father of antibiotics. There
have been stories of how his luck of being a messy worker was in his favor.
During his time at World War I, he realized that the antiseptic administered to the soldiers' deep
tissue wounds were doing more harm than good. After his visit from World War I camp he
realized that a petri dish he left with a bacteria had grown mold and the bacteria was nowhere to
be found. As a subsequence, he produced more mold and named it penicillin, which came from
the French word penicillium. He went on to create a journal declaring the downfall of the
antiseptics administered to the soldiers.
Due to the shortage of resources of Mr. Fleming, Howard Florey and Ernst Chain did further
research on the penicillin using Fleming’s work, realized the importance of the penicillin which
could save many lives. As a subsequence, they began to travel and make penicillin. Nonetheless,
in that period penicillin was only used on affected soldiers.
Penicillin is now one of the world's prominent antibiotic utilized, which is now administered to
all eligible injuries. It continues to save countless lives. It has also produced jobs and businesses
for persons all over the world in the science and pharmaceutical fields.
