[QUOTE="spiney, post: 185763, member: 192438"] (whoever discovered fire?). Otherwise, Michael Faraday! (He first revolutionised chemistry, especially with direct evidence for the discrete particulate nature of electricity and all matter. Then, his discovery of electromagnetic induction enabled electric power generators and motors to be built, and started the worldwide electricity supply industry. After which - although not himself a mathematician - nevertheless, his experimental discoveries about and thoughts on electromagnetic interactions were directly used by Maxwell to produce his famous "Maxwell Equations", directly leading to the discovery of radio waves). PS, it's certainly not Baird, cos his tv systems were useless (that's going to annoy some people)! (Or instead, should I have said Morton for anaesthesia, or Lister for antiseptic/aseptic surgery? Oh dear ......). [/QUOTE]
