I believe it was Brian Trubshaw.  Check out this link for more info. I find it quite exciting as it all happened near me!\n\nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/march/2/newsid_2514000/2514535.stm

It was Maggie Reilly. You should give me the points since yielding probably isn't an Oldfield fan, and is actually a "cotton-eared nincompoop" who googled the answer and originally had Bonny Tyler as his answer.\n\nHappy ? Happy!

The law was discovered by the American astronomer Simon Newcomb in 1881 who noticed that the first pages of books of logarithms were soiled much more than the remaining pages. In 1938, Frank Benford arrived at the same formula after a comprehensive investigation of listings of data covering a variety of natural phenomena. (Benford's original data table can be found on Eric Weisstein's Treasure Troves of Mathematics - Benford's Law page.) The law applies to budget, income tax or population figures as well as street addresses of people listed in the book American Men of Science. In the face of such universality of the law, it's quite astonishing that there exists a more general framework - Zipf's Law. Which, in turn, falls under a more general rubric of scaling phenomena.

Nobody, actually.  The Ideal Gas Law is a summation of three separately discovered laws by three different chemists:\n\n- Boyle's Law is named after Robert Boyle who published it in 1662.\n- Gay-Lussac's Law is named after Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac, who discovered it in 1809.\n- Charles' Law was discoverd by Jacques Charles in 1787, but he never published it.  Instead, it was referenced and published by Gay-Lussac in 1802 as he was doing other work.\n\nPerhaps the reason why no specific scientist is given credit for the combined Ideal Gas Law is that so many were working on it at the same time.  It's been pointed out that Avogadro might have had a version of it, and that almost anyone could have derived it mathematically if they just sat down and did the right kind of problem.

Sir Isaac Newton developed the universal law of gravitation.  This law was developed as an inverse square law (1/(r squared) where r is the distance between the two objects.). This law states that all masses are attracted to each other no matter how far away from each other they are.  The key to this law is that the force at which they pull at each other is not only inversely proportional the square of their distance apart but also dependent on their mass.  The equation is as follows:  F=G*((m1*m2)/(r squared) where F is the force created between them, m1 and m2 are the masses in kg of the objects and G is the universal gravitation constant which is 6.642 x10(-11) N M(2)kg(-2) (these last letters are the units it is in.)\nThe Force at which any object on earth has is simply the mass of that object times the acceleration at the surface which is 9.81 m/s(2) this force is the same as if you put the mass of the earth times that objects mass times the gravitational consant then divided by the square of the distance to the center of the earth.\n     As far as I am aware all field forces are inverse square laws which basically means that the closer an objects gets to another the attraction between then increases as the square of the previous force.  The closer they are together the stronger the force.\n     The string theory was devised to explain multiple dimensions and as a way to explain how subatomic particles can seem to be in more than one place at once.  It consists of a tube (string) that has a very small diameter but is infinitely long.  In this theory there are also an infinite number of these strings floating all over invisibly each containg multiple galaxies.  Hope this helps.

Gideon Mantell was a physician and amateur paleontologist who is credited with the discovery of the Iguanodon.  However, there are stories of his wife Mary Ann discovering the first fossil remnants but some claim that these stories are unfounded.\n\nWhat is the truth?  Who knows, history is littered with women making discoveries and inventions only to have the credit go to some undeserving fellow:\n\nCatherine Littlefield Greene is credited by some as the actual inventor of the Cotton Gin, even though the patent is in Eli Whitney's name.\n\nWhile Watson and Crick are credited with the discovery of the structure of DNA, there model was based on X-ray crystallography by Rosalind Franklin and those pictures should not have been in their possession.  They were surreptitiously given to Crick and Watson without Franklin's knowledge or approval.\n\nI did a Yahoo Search for:\niguanodon discovered by\nhttp://search.yahoo.com/search?p=iguanodon+discovered+by&sp=1&fr2=sp-top&ei=UTF-8&fr=slv1-&SpellState=n-970269995_q-wXebE2bry4O64dolF.uYUwABAA%40%40\nand found this information and several articles.

The theoretical physics equation E = mc2 states a relationship between energy (E) and mass (m) first formulated by Albert Einstein in his 1905 paper "Ist die Trägheit eines Körpers von seinem Energieinhalt abhängig?" ("Does the Inertia of a Body Depend Upon Its Energy Content?", published in Annalen der Physik on September 27), one of the articles now known as his Annus Mirabilis Papers.

Sir Isaac Newton, PRS, (4 January 1643 – 31 March 1727) [OS: 25 December 1642 – 20 March 1727] was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, alchemist,chemist, inventor, and natural philosopher who is generally regarded as one of the most influential scientists and mathematicians in history.\n\nNewton wrote the Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica wherein he described universal gravitation and the three laws of motion, laying the groundwork for classical mechanics. By deriving Kepler's laws of planetary motion from this system, he was the first to show that the motion of objects on Earth and of celestial bodies are governed by the same set of natural laws. The unifying and deterministic power of his laws was integral to the scientific revolution and the advancement of heliocentrism.\n\nAmong other scientific discoveries, Newton realized that the spectrum of colours observed when white light passes through a prism is inherent in the white light and not added by the prism (as Roger Bacon had claimed in the 13th century), and notably argued that light is composed of particles. He also developed a law of cooling, describing the rate of cooling of objects when exposed to air. He enunciated the principles of conservation of momentum and angular momentum. Finally, he studied the speed of sound in air, and voiced a theory of the origin of stars. Despite this renown in mainstream science, Newton spent more time working on either alchemy or chemistry, than physics.\n\nNewton played a major role in the history of calculus, sharing credit with Gottfried Leibniz. He also made contributions to other areas of mathematics, for example the generalized binomial theorem. The mathematician and mathematical physicist Joseph Louis Lagrange (1736–1813), said that "Newton was the greatest genius that ever existed and the most fortunate, for we cannot find more than once a system of the world to establish." 20\n \n\n\nBiography\nEarly years\nThe life of Isaac Newton Early life Writing Principia Later life Religious views Occult studies  \nNewton was born in Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth (at Woolsthorpe Manor), a hamlet in the county of Lincolnshire. Newton was born prematurely, and no one expected him to live; indeed, his mother, Hannah Ayscough Newton, is reported to have said that his body at that time could have fit inside a quart mug (Bell, 1937). His father, Isaac, had died three months before Newton's birth. When Newton was two, his mother went to live with her new husband, leaving her son in the care of his grandmother.\n\nAccording to E.T. Bell (1937, Simon and Schuster) and H. Eves:\n\nNewton began his schooling in the village schools and was later sent to The Kings Grammar School (Grantham) where he became the top boy in the school. At Kings he lodged with the local apothecary, William Clarke and eventually became engaged to the apothecary's stepdaughter, Anne Storer, before he went off to Cambridge University at the age of 19. As Newton became engrossed in his studies, the romance cooled and Miss Storer married someone else. It is said he kept a warm memory of this love, but Newton had no other recorded 'sweethearts' and never married. \nHowever, William Stukeley and Mrs Vincent, the source which Bell and Eves have embroidered so unhelpfully, merely say that Newton entertained 'a passion' for her while he lodged at the Clarke house. Mrs Vincent's maiden name was Katherine Storer, not Anne.\n\n \nEngraving after Enoch Seeman's 1726 portrait of NewtonFrom the age of about twelve until he was seventeen, Newton was educated at The King's School in Grantham (where his signature can still be seen upon a library window sill). He was removed from school and by Oct 1659 he was to be found at Woolsthorpe where his mother attempted to make a farmer of him. He was, by later reports of his contemporaries, thoroughly unhappy with the work. It appears to be Henry Stokes, master at the Ki

I know this guys great great grandson. no joke he was on my rugby team. Crook invented the Crook's tube to demonstrate the force exerted on charged particles moving  relative to a magnetic field. This leed to the modern cathode ray tube which forms the basis of your TV or monitor.
