Galileo Galilei is considered as one of the greatest contributor to the development of Science. He was physicist, astronomer, and philosopher and his best known contributions lie in the development of Telescope, first two laws of motion and also in Astronomy. He was born to a mathematician and musician father Vincenzo Galilei and his mother was Giulia Ammannati in Italy. He was the first scientist who followed the way of quantitative experiments in his research where the result was based on mathematics. He had to suffer a lot from the church for his theories.

Sir Isaac Newton was also a man of versatile quality. He was physicist, mathematician, astronomer, alchemist, and natural philosopher in a row. His contribution in the development of science is a special one. He I best known for his explanation of Universal Gravitation and three laws of motion, and he was able to prove that the reason of both the motion of objects on Earth and of celestial bodies are controlled by the same Neutral laws. These findings could make a revolutionary change in the development of science. In mechanical science his great contribution was in optics. He could make a reflecting telescope. He also made some research on light and stars. His research on General binomial Theorem helped to be introduced today’s Calculus.

Aristotle is one of the great philosophers who had a vast knowledge in different disciplines. Aristotle studied different subjects he contributed a lot of those subjects. Aristotle contributed physics, poetry, zoology, logic, rhetoric, politics, government, ethics, and biology. Aristotle was a laurel Greek philosopher he was born in Stagira in 384 BC. His father Nicomachus was a physician to the king Amyntas III of Macedon’s court and it is believed that their ancestors also held this position. Aristotle was taught by his father at home and the medical knowledge he got from his father led him to investigate natural phenomenon later on. When Aristotle was only at the age of 18 he admitted in to the young Greek aristocracy run by Plato, another Great Greek philosopher, and Aristotle became the most favorite student of Plato.
Ten of the greatest scientists are Aristotle, Sir Isaac Newton, Galileo Galilei, Charles Robert Darwin, Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Alessandro Giuseppe Antonio Anastasio Volta, Stephen Hawking, Louis Pasteur, Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose, and Guglielmo Marchese Marconi.
