![]() Good luck sexing your way out of this one, Einstein. Wait, that isn't interesting? It's plagiarism. Shoots that whole "maybe Einstein didn't read any other papers" theory right to shit, doesn't it? It's interesting that Einstein sat studying and discussing the work of Poincaré for years, published a book that featured a theory that was startlingly similar to Poincaré's, and then didn't reference Poincaré once in the entire book. ![]() The book goes on to specifically mention how Poincaré was one of the scientists that Einstein and his battalion of nerds would discuss. According to Peter Galison's Einstein's Clocks, Poincaré's Maps: Empires of Time, Einstein and a small group of his fellow nerdlings formed a group called The Olympia Academy and would regularly gather to discuss their own works as well as the works of current scientists. Maybe Einstein's paper didn't contain any sources because he genuinely didn't read any other current physics texts or papers. We don't want to jump to any conclusions here. Really? Not one source? Even we cite sources, Albert, and we're friggin' Cracked. Well, put down that Digital Monster, high schooler, because we are about to blow your mind: Gal-Gal did not invent the telescope. If you asked the average high schooler what Galileo's lasting contribution to science was, they would most likely reply "the telescope" before going off to listen to their Rhianna records and play with their Digimon, (Is that what high schoolers do these days? We don't even know anymore). Galileo Galilee or "Gal-Gal," as he is more commonly known, was an Italian astronomer, physicist and mathematician. To those of you unfortunate enough to have been subjected to a lifetime in the public school system, we've got some bad news for you that you probably won't find in your text books: Every brilliant inventor you've ever loved is a huge, thieving asshole. We avoided the years and years of brainwashing that accompanies a standard education. See, we slept through high school, so we were lucky. On January 27, 1880, Edison received the historic patent embodying the principles of his incandescent lamp that paved the way for the universal domestic use of electric light. The patent number for his electric lamp is 223,898.It has become clear that it's up to the Cracked staff to re-educate America. With unflagging determination, Edison and his team tried out thousands of theories, convinced that every failure brought them one step closer to success. With dreams of lighting up entire cites, Edison lined up financial backing, assembled a group of brilliant scientists and technicians, and applied his genius to the challenge of creating an effective and affordable electric lamp. In 1878, the creation of a practical long-burning electric light had eluded scientists for decades. His thundering dynamos transformed the United States into the world’s greatest industrial superpower. Three of his most famous inventions, the phonograph, a practical incandescent light bulb, and the moving picture camera, dazzled the public and revolutionized the way people live throughout the world. Out of his New Jersey laboratories, which were themselves inventions – thoroughly equipped and fully staffed – came 1,093 patented inventions and innovations that made Edison one of the most prolific inventors of all time. From the time he was a boy, he was mesmerized by the mechanics of the universe and, with virtually no formal education, brought forth innovations that continue to dominate our lives. The Patent Office granted Thomas Edison a patent for his "electric-lamp." Edison's patent was an improvement on electric lamps, not the invention of them but because of Edison’s design changes and the materials he used-such as a carbon filament-his patent allowed for an electric lamp that was reliable, safe, and practical.Įdison propelled the United States out of the gaslight era and into the electric age.
