If you want the living scientist I am the one designed more than 30 types of safety equipments to save the man kind from disasters and accidents.

Answer 5

The One who invent an electric pump (heart) with 100% eefficiency at the beginning of life.

Answer 6

Einstein described Galileo as the father of modern science - so I think that's a pretty big endorsement for Galileo.

Einstein was a genius, the Galileo challenged the authorities to accept scientific evidence even tho it went against the church's view. Scientists trust evidence over groundless belief - so I think it probably does have to be Galileo...

He was also smart enough to think of using a telescope for astronomy. He didn;t invent the telescope, that was the Dutch Navy, but he did have the imagination/creativity to think of how it could be used to further astronomical studies, and in the process discovered many pieces of evidence that turned what was then the conventional view of the universe on its head...
