Which invention do you like the most in the history of mankind?
Who's the greatest inventor/discoverer of all times?
I want to make a large big up to Tsai Lun, the Chinese guy who invented paper in AD 105.

Johann Gutenberg, Printing press. Good stuff.
The Chopstick Fan.
Ice tea.
Because I invented it when I was 3.

Got to go with this fellow, revolutionised the world to an unprecedented degree.
Or for a more modern yet similar great inventor, Tim Berners-Lee and the World Wide Web.

The Chopstick Fan.
I want one.
The telephone and whoever was the inventor. (I know it's said that was Graham Bell)
The steam engine. Most notable people involved are Newcomen and Watt, I'd say.
Peaceful nuclear power is a modern miracle that wouldn't have happened without Enrico Fermi and Igor Kurchatov.
I'll throw Archimedes in there. That's if he was the one who made the first mechanical computer. Even if not he still created some great stuff.
The company responsible for creating the internet. (DARPA)
It has probably surpassed every technological achievement for 50+ years. Not because it has pushed the boundaries of science, but because it has helped educate so many. Not to mention its use for online businesses and social networking.
In short it has improved the world far more than anything rivalling it, and continues to progress/improve more and more as time passes.
Whoever created booze.
Charles Babbage for his insanely complicated (yet functional) Difference Engine.

Penicillin!! Antibiotics save lives everyday around the world.

I LOVE stuff like this.
Thanks for sharing.
The toilet.
Because outhouses are fucking disgusting, and chamber pots even more so.
invention of internet

The caveman who came up with the wheel.
The wheel? pah. Language? pah. Agriculture? pah.
I bring you Otto Frederick Rohwedder.
The motherfucker who came up with sliced bread.
Nikola Tesla
The induction motor, bifilar coil, arc light systems, tesla coil, etc.
The toilet.
Because outhouses are fucking disgusting, and chamber pots even more so.
i really can't compete with that logic. totally agreed. :sick:
the compass and any other navigation instrument apart from gps…
Penicillin!! Antibiotics save lives everyday around the world.
I can't count the times I've been researching about some important historical person, then stumble upon the cause of death. 60% of the time it's some minor illness that could have been easily cured with antibiotics nowadays.
So yeah, Penicillin is the saviour of lifes! I started seeing mold with different eyes because of it. It's still disgusting as hell, BUT it gets a job done!
Also, not an invention, but a discovery I'd like to mention:
Einstein and the discovery of the relativity of time anyone?
I don't say I understand the Theory of relativity, hell no. But this aspect of it; the belief that time was a steady, untouchable river was not that steady and constant afterall, felt so alienating to me, I was in awe. The first time I heard and really grasped the concept of it, it changed the way I saw the world, the way I felt when looking up to the stars (and actually made me feel even more insignificant). Way to go, Einstein.
Talking of which, I should mention the guy who created the time machine last thursday. It's really a great invention since…Oh wait, wrong timeline...Forget what I just said, or it will change your future. Hahah, no, I'm just joking around!
World's Greatest Inventors
Newton and Leibniz: The inventors of calculus and awesome hair
Shigeru Miyamoto: the inventor of Mario, Zelda, DK, Starfox, Pikman, etc

It's christmas so I forgive you now, but do not ever put 'one piece' in a list of great inventions or Oda in a list with names like Leibniz, Einstein and Archimedes.

Hahaha I didn't know the guy, so I was gonna ask what he did. He seemed like an informatician or so.
Britain invented many amazing things: World Wide Web, steam engine, calculus (you must have said it right?!) - Newton, Penicillin many of the things you listed. They invented the toilet and the toilet paper for Gods sake! and its only a small island. (just sayin')

Australia is pretty renowned for their inventions.
And we've only been known to the majority of the world from just over 200 years now.

You make me sick.
Britain also invented the colony that would later be known as the United States of America though.

Britain also invented the pain and suffering of about half the world.
Take note that us Americans had a hand in that too so you couldn't take all the credit.
We didn't invent it, we merely exacerbated it in certain areas.
British empire was pretty much the inventor of 17th century colonialism.
Nikola Tesla, obviously, the most badass inventor of all time.
Just read this: http://www.badassoftheweek.com/tesla.html
This is him, at his lab:
No one does this, nowadays.

I think I just fell in love.
Someone should draw a Yaoi Dounjinshi about Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison.
Tesla invented the death ray and, for that, he is my hero.
Whoever the hell invented Fritos.
I'm gonna say Sun Tzu and his brilliant war strategies.
But as an actual, physical invention: the microchip and everyone who helped make it what it is.
The lil guy revolutionized the world of electronics.

A list of some snazzy inventions from a bunch of humble Canadians :ninja:
There's of course the Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel, which most people should know about. He's the inventor of dynamite, and the founder of the Nobel Prize.
Abu Abdallah Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi , the founder of Algebra. Algebra comes from the arabic word Al-jabr.
Abu Ali al-Hasan ibn al-Hasan ibn al-Haytham, a great scientist of the 10th century.
Invented the camera obscura.
He discussed the theory of attraction between masses, and it seems that he was also aware of the magnitude of acceleration due to gravity at a distance.
In the dynamics and kinematics fields of mechanics, Ibn al-Haytham's Risala fi’l-makan (Treatise on Place) discussed theories on the motion of a body. He maintained that a body moves perpetually unless an external force stops it or changes its direction of motion. Later formulated as Newton's first law of motion.
Ibn al-Haytham also discovered the concept of momentum (now part of Newton's second law of motion)
And this in the 10th fucking century people.

Ah, ok sorry. I will never again put Oda on a list with some losers. Sorry :>
