My most admired scientists is benjamin franklin.
Building upon Franklin's work, many other scientists studied electricity and began to understand more about how it works. For example, in 1879, Thomas Edison invented the electric light bulb and our world has been brighter ever since! But was
Benjamin Franklin really the first person to discover electricity? Electricity is a form of energy and it occurs in nature, so it was not “invented.” As to who discovered it, many misconceptions abound. Some give credit to Benjamin Franklin for discovering electricity, but his experiments only helped establish the connection between lightning and electricity, nothing more.

Could you please name the 35plus bot because am confused.
There are no upvotes given. I called the bot out on it yesterday, and in response they first posted they gave me a 1% upvote. I told them they were not very smart as I could see on Steemd.com they had not, as well as on Steemnow. Their response was to change their post to say a 10% upvote was given. Yet once again, there was no upvote. You can see here that nothing was provided for this post here.

This person is just running a scam, albeit for a small sliver of SD.
He is a great Scientist
The history behind the electricity is really interesting! Even the greeks like Thales knew something was going on there :) Thanks for joining the contest!
Thanks for the daily contest.
Bro I love this
Thanks bro
nice image
Benjamin Franklin is indeed a great inventor
Ben is a great scientist. Lovely post
Nikola Tesla is my most admired scientists, I love the Serbian born scientist because of his immense knowledge in different fields of science and technology.
Nikola Tesla was born in1856 He could speak 8 languages, recite a whole book completely just with one reading, make a device just by seeing it once and not writing down anything. A funny fact about him was that he was a celibate his whole life.
Tesla had developed almost everything by himself and did not expose any of it which later was invented by other scientists in his time. Tesla had generated ac current before Edison knew about charges. Markoni who got Nobel prize for inventing radio used all the ideas of Tesla. X-rays by Roentgen, RADAR by Watson-watt were all devised by Nikola Tesla.
There was almost nothing that Tesla did not do. First hydro electricity plant in Niagara falls, experiments with cryogenic engineering, transistors, radio wave recorder from outer space were all built by Tesla. Remote control, neon lightening, modern electric motor, earthquake machine are finest inventions from Tesla. He was a true genius
Nice one
I voted him also and i think this is a good point, kudos to you
Thanks
He is really a great scientist
A genius truly. But he knew all this and didn't tell anyone? That's just bad
He is a superb scientist, nice choice
Yes .. Is a nice
As a physicist I can't agree less.
Yes .. And for everyone
And absolute genius! History did not treat him well but his legacy is enormous. Thanks for joining!
Kudos to you i love the comment
Voted
Yeah he is truly a genius @harris2017
Upvoted
Nice one @harris2017
Thanks for your comment
He really is a genius,but knowledge not shared our utilized to better others is a waste. Don't you think so?
But still is a number on scientist
Nice choice
Thanks
He's done a Number of things .
Yes.. In fact we can say his the best
Good post
Thanks for your comment youre great
Great scientist!
As an electrical engineer, my most admired scientist is THOMAS EDISON who invented electricity in 1879 after trying and failing for about 999 times, but wasn't tired of trying, until he succeeded (on his 1000th time of trying) in inventing the electricity we all enjoy today!

@bloggersheavens has just supported you, help us do morw by upvoti ng this comment. For the record, thomas edison is a nice chouce keep steeming on bloggersheavens
Thanks for your choice!
I'm grateful for the opportunity sir. Thank you
Let there be light
And there was light. Loving!
Goodluck!
I do not agree with all the answers that I saw here. I think that the best scientist is Leonardo da Vinci. He was ahead of time for 500 years.
He came up with a helicopter, a diving suit, a parachute, a hang-glider, a bicycle, a car prototype, a machine gun and much more. In addition, I consider him one of the best artists.
I agree. Leonardo da Vinci was the best scientist in his day and remains to this day.
I like Galileo, but I agree that Leonard is a genius.
I totally agree
He was veeery ahead of his times! Thanks for joining!
I had to think a bit about this one. And I can't provide you with a singular scientist to be honest. Here is why:
Have you ever thought about all the foodstuffs we consume and realized that there once had to be someone who tried it for the first time?
Imagine how many poor bastards must've died eating that mushroom of which we now know it's toxic. Or that brave soul that licked the frog before anyone else had the guts to try it!Can you see what I'm getting at?
We don't know the names of those people. I'm not sure if it's right to call them scientists per se, but they sure had the experimental drive it takes to be one!
Brilliant. It's true; I too have often wondered who was the first person to eat pepper.
Then I realized that the more interesting question is who was the first person to eat pepper twice.
I like your answer, and I agree.
When I peel an onion, I always think of the first person that ever tried it. He must have been damn hungry if he would still eat it after crying his eyes out while peeling it...
Exactly! :)
haha yes, I thought many times about that as well...specially with mushrooms as I love collecting them in the forest, but you need to be sure what you take hehe. Thanks for joining and your homage to the unknown scientist ;)
I stumbled upon your competition and was intrigued. It was a fun exercise to think about your question. I'm not sure if scientist is the right word. Maybe proto-scientists or pseudo-scientists. I do however think of them as unsung heroes, even if we'll never know if their actions were made out of curiosity, desperation or because they were wise or fools. Probably all of the above in some form or manner. :)
My most admired scientist is the great Stephen Hawking (RIP). He for the first time set out a theory of cosmology explained by a union of the general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics.

An amazing human being. thanks for joining!
He's not a world famous scientist or someone who contributed a great deal to humanity but I will never forget my high school science teacher Mr Doyle.
Even now many years on the only reason I can remember how to wire a plug is because of his method for remembering. He was a pretty crazy American from Buffalo. He had a saying "Blue y'all is Neutral! And Brown is Live because if you touch it, then that is what colour your pants will be! Then the remaining one is Earth".
Never forgot that lesson and it has came in handy many times in my life.
That's nice :) Good teachers will always be the ones that make great scientist in the future !
Richard Feynman is by far my most admired scientist. He was a physicist that not only contributed greatly to his field but he was so irreverent about it too. He was a talented lockpicker and an inveterate prankster who never allowed being a dignified adult to make him boring.
More than that, he was a brilliant teacher, truly able to break down deep and complex concepts for others to understand.
More than that however is that he was a true skeptic, a critical thinker who never allowed what he wanted to be true to get in the way of learning the real truth.
My most admired scientist is Alber Einstein for developing the theory of relativity, which is now one of the two pillars of modern physics.
He wrote many books which includes
The World as I See It (1934)
Ideas and Opinions (1954)
Relativity: The Special and the General Theory
Out of My Later Years
Autobiographical notes
These books sometimes makes you understand some aspects of life.
Favorite quotes from Albert Einstein:
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.
A great man indeed.! I can say, He's the backbone for modern physics
Yes Mr Einstein was missing in the list!! Thanks for joining!
all the best
Thanks
My most admired scientist is Charles Darwin who demonstrated that all species of life have evolved over time from common ancestors through the process he called natural selection.

Another amazing scientist! imagine how he would feel exporing the unknown world and discovering hundreds of never seen species, just amazing. Thanks!
Thank you Boss. I'm grateful
