1. 10 Famous International Scientist
Aristotle
Aristotle is the Great philosopher who had a vast knowledge in different disciplines.
Studying different subject he contributed a lot in each of those subjects. He contributed in phys-
ics, poetry, zoology, logic, rhetoric, politics, government, ethics, and biology. This laurel Greek
philosopher 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. Ear-
lier in his life he was taught by his father at home and the medical knowledge he got from his fa-
ther led him to investigate natural phenomenon later on. 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.
Sir Isaac Newton
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 mo-
tion, and he was able to prove that the reason of both the motion of objects on Earth and of ce-
lestial 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.
Galileo Galilei
Galileo is considered as one of the greatest contributor to the development of Science. It
is undoubtedly true that Galileo could first helped science to come out of the trend of Aristotle.
He was physicist, astronomer, and philosopher and his best known contributions lie in the devel-
opment of Telescope, first two laws of motion and also in Astronomy. He is also considered as the
father of astronomy, father of physics and father of science.
Charles Robert Darwin
There can be debate about whether Charles Darwin (12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882) is the
greatest scientist of all time but there is no doubt that he is the most controversial scientist of all
time. On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection (1859)- this is the book that has made
Darwin immortal in the world history. This book has changed the course of science radically. It is per-
haps an irony that Darwin studied theology and instead of becoming a clergy, he became naturalist.
Albert Einstein
Einstein is the great scientist of the twentieth century and notable physicist of all time. It
is told that he had learning disability in his childhood. He could not talk till he was three and
could not read till he was eight. Despite such problems he later became the noble prize winner for
his contribution to the Physics. His theory of relativity is considered as a revolutionary develop-
ment of Physics. He got Noble Prize in Physics in 1921 for his explanation of the Photoelectric
Effect and for his research in Theoretical physics.

2. Thomas Edison
Edison is the great inventor who has over 1000 patents and his inventions are in various
fields used in our daily life. In his early life he was thought to have a learning disability and he
could not read till he was twelve and later he himself admitted that he became deaf after pulling up
to a train car by his ears. He first could able to turn the attention of the world after inventing
Phonograph. His one of the most popular invention is the Electric Bulb. He also developed the
telegraph system. His invention of carbon telephone transmitter developed the carbon micro-
phone which was used in the telephoned till 1980. He also became a prominent businessman and
his business institution produced his inventions and marketed the products to the general people.
Stephen Hawking
This famous scientist is considered as the greatest scientist of the twentieth century after
Einstein. Haw king’s big bang theory and black hole theory has turned the attention of the world.
He is the professor of Mathematics of the University of Cambridge. Though he is now about to be
paralyzed, he is teaching through a computer supported a machine by which his world are
compiled. His physical illness could not make him stop form his research. His famous book is “A
Brief History of Time”.
Louis Pasteur
He is one of the most famous contributors in the medical science. He first introduced the
germ theory of diseases. This is regarded as the base of today’s microbiology. He found out some
of the notion of the microbe and he could find out that the viruses were not detectable through
microscope. Another important contribution of Pasteur is to protect harmful microbes in a way
called “Pasteurization” where harmful microbes are destroyed by hitting the food. He is undoubt-
edly the most influential scientist in medical science.
Guglielmo Marchese Marconi
Marconi is a Nobel laureate physicist from Italy. He is best known for his invention of
Radio and he first introduced wireless telegraph system. He was born to a landowner father
Giuseppe Marconi and his mother was Annie Jameson. He was very interested to science form his
early life. He initially started working on electromagnetic wave or radio waves invented by
Heinrich Hertz. Then after a long research he could figure out such a technology to communicate
without wire. After his invention, he marketed this equipment for the commercial purpose and at
that time he got a competitor free market in the U.S.
Alessandro Giuseppe Antonio Anastasio Volta
Volta was Italian physicist and he is best known for his contribution to the development
of electric battery. This benevolent scientist is also regarded as one of the founder of the electric
age. His parents sent him to the Jesuit school intending to make him a Jurist. He also taught in
the University of Pavia for 25 year. After that in 1800 he could make voltaic pile which could
produce steady electric current. He then worked on to develop the electric bulb. For his work in
the electric development he was given a count by Napoleon. Emperor of Austria honored him
naming him a professor of Philosophy at Padova. For his honor an electric unit Volt was named
after him.

5. Mahal Ko O Mahal Ako – Kz Tandingan
Dalawa kayo sa buhay ko
At ako ngayon ay kailangan nang mamili
Isa lang ang maaari
Alam mong narito ako
Lagi para sa iyo

Ngunit iba ang iyong nais
At siya’y narito
Alay sa ki’y wagas na pag-ibig
Nalilito
Litong litong lito
Sino ang iibigin ko
Ikaw ba na pangarap ko
O siya bang kumakatok sa puso ko
Oh anong paiiralin ko
Isip ba o ang puso ko
Nalilito litong litong lito
Sinong pipiliin ko
Mahal ko o mahal ako
Kahit di ako ang mahal mo
Kung mananatili ako sa yo
Ay baka matutunan mo rin
Na ako’y iyong ibigin
At kung sadyang siya’y tapat
Baka sakaling pagdaan ng araw
Matutunan ko rin ang ibigin siya
Sino ang iibigin ko
Ikaw ba na pangarap ko
O siya bang kumakatok sa puso ko
Oh anong paiiralin ko
Isip ba o ang puso ko
Nalilito litong litong lito

Ang umibig at masuklian din ng pag-ibig
Sino ang iibigin ko
Ikaw ba na pangarap ko
O siya ba
Oh anong paiiralin ko
Isip ba o ang puso ko
Nalilito litong litong lito
Litong litong lito
Sinong pipiliin ko
Mahal ko o mahal ako
