The industrial engineering / Sir Richard Arkwrigth
The industrial engineering attained a development in the textile industry with the invention of the mechanical spinning wheel in 1775 by Sir Richard Arkwrigth in England. Besides, he also created the first model of operative control system in factories to regulate employees' production. Babbaje (1792-1891) formed the analytical systems to improve the increasing operations and productivity in factories. -

Industrial revolution
The Industrial Revolution was the transition to new manufacturing processes in the period from about 1760 to sometime between 1820 and 1840. This transition included going from hand production methods to machines, new chemical manufacturing and iron production processes.

Theory of relativity / atom
The theory of relativity usually encompasses two interrelated theories by Albert Einstein: special relativity and general relativity.[1] Special relativity applies to elementary particles and their interactions, describing all their physical phenomena except gravity. General relativity explains the law of gravitation and its relation to other forces of nature.[2] It applies to the cosmological and astrophysical realm, including astronomy. -
