Introduction Since the beginning of time science has been evolving. There were many trial and errors, but 1910 is where everything began to come together. There were many discoveries found and made through the years of 1910 - 1919. Scientists is what affected the world positively. America's life changing discoveries to worlds determination for a better future. In the years of 1910 - 1919, scientist were very influential. They are the people who carved the world's future. Scientist invented, discovered and so much more. They are the reason we survived. We have to give them credit for everything that they have provided for us.

Heike Kamerlingh Onnes was studying superconductivity. Onnes was researching the properties of matter, but not in the normal state. He had the temperatures extremely low and he observed the properties of matter. At the end of his investigation, his result were remarkable he created liquid helium… he then received a nobel for his great discovery. In 1911, Ernest Rutherford found a very spectacular in such a small thing. Rutherford found that an atom has a microscopic charged nucleus. Empty space surrounds the nucleus. The nucleus is also surrounded by electrons. By this discovery Rutherford made the model of the atom. Germany 1912, scientist Alfred Wegener Had thought about a theory that could have changed the world. Wegener had the idea of Plate tectonic and the Continental drift. When the idea was first presented, people thought he was out of his mind. He was criticized for what he thought. Soon after him releasing his idea, it was accepted. Wegener then started to understand the earth and the theory of pangea.

He then hand picked Taft as president and told everyone that Taft would be just like him. With this insight, the people elected Taft as president in 1908 following
For as long as science has existed to satisfy man's appetite for knowledge and exploration, there have been people with the belief that science is none other than man's attempt to play God. The 19th century was a time of enlightenment where philosophical thought began and man's concern to better himself in a psychological form developed.

Woodrow Wilson, Born in Virginia in 1856 and raised in Georgia and South Carolina, was the 28th president of the United States. He enacted significant reform legislation during his two terms. Surprisingly, he was a political novice who had held only one public office before becoming president, but fortunately enough possessed considerable political skill. He was a brilliant and effective public speaker, but he found it difficult to work well with other government officials because he did not deal well with disagreements. Wilson developed a program of progressive reform and asserted international leadership in building a new world order. In 1917 he proclaimed American entrance into World War I a crusade to make the world "safe for democracy" (similar to George W. Bush, who has used this phrase in his war against terrorism).
Another important individual who drove history was the Italian astronomer and scientist Galileo Galilei. Galileo discovered something so important that it changed the selfish perspective that humans were the center of the universe and led to the growth of human knowledge. Utilizing mathematics and a telescope he had developed, Galileo observed that the planets revolved around the sun and not the Earth. This was a significant discovery because not only did it contradict what the church had taught, it also showed that the universe was not what it seemed. With this truth uncovered, many people began to fascinate over the universe. This triggered people to begin studying space extensively and eventually lead to present day space exploration. Galileo also left a lasting impression upon many great minds, such as Sir Isaac Newton, who used Galileo's research and theories to further his own studies such as the physical laws, and their properties.
The revolution brought about many radical changes and ideas that helped to strengthen it and the scientists that helped to bring it about became significant persons in history. "The emergence of a scientific community is one of the distinguishing marks of the Scientific Revolution."2 It was this form of community that gave a foundation for open thinking and observing throughout the sixteenth century and through twenty-first century. It was the first revolution that had more of a dedication to the ongoing process of science than of a goal to achieve scientific knowledge.3
Of all the scientists to emerge from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries there is one whose name is known by almost all living people. While most of these do not understand this mans work, everyone knows that his impact on the world is astonishing.
...ment in the field of Physics his goals for world peace are even more important to remember. He is one of the best known scientists of the century and was even named the person of the century, by Time Magazine.
Science affects the world in many different ways. With the technologies that have been discovered we can now tell how warm or cold it will be for the next week, we will know when a tornado, hurricane, eruption or any other sorts of natural disasters will occur before they actually happen. This also helps out all communities. My family loves to travel, and if airplanes weren’t invented we wouldn’t be able to go to many places. We also need microwaves, stoves and ovens in order for us to eat supper, and fridges and freezers for us to keep our food in. We also enjoy watching television and movies, and I love talking on the telephone and listening to music. Without science none of these things would be possible.
