The classical theory of gravitation of Newton (Law of universal gravitation Newton) is a law describing the gravitational interaction in the framework of classical mechanics. He says that the force F of gravitational attraction between two material points of mass m_1 and m_2, separated by a distance R, is proportional to both masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them

Henry Cavendish, physicist and chemist. Opened hydrogen.
English physicist and chemist Henry Cavendish in 1766, studied this gas and called it "inflammable air". The burning of "inflammable air" was given water -
One of the first theorists and researchers in the field of aircraft heavier than air, published in the early nineteenth-century descriptions of the principles of flight and glider aircraft. Also proposed the design of the wheel with spokes of wire, a few circuits of the internal combustion engine, the idea of a water-tube boiler for a steam engine, patented track speed for transport.His ideas and projects much ahead of time, so most of them was not realized during the life of the scientist

Michael Faraday — physicist, founder of electromagnetic field theory.
Michael Faraday experimentally found and gave a mathematical description of the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction is the occurrence of the electromotive force in the conductor under the action of a changing magnetic field. -
James Prescott Joule
Made a significant contribution to the establishment of thermodynamics. Grounded on the experiences the law of conservation of energy. Established the law that determines the heating effect of electric current. Calculated the driving speed of the gas molecules and established its dependence on temperature.In honor of Joule named the unit of energy is Joule. -
Parsons, Charles Algernon-English engineer and industrialist, inventor of the steam turbine multi-stage rocket, also known as the Parsons turbine, modifications of which are used in modern energy.

Known as the "father" of nuclear physics. Nobel prize in chemistry 1908.
Ernest Rutherford
In 1911 his famous experience of scattering of α-particles proved the existence of in atoms positively charged nucleus and negatively charged electrons around it. Based on the results of experience have created a planetary model of the atom. -
Francis Crick — biologist.
That has formulated the Central dogma of molecular biology: genetic information is transmitted in the cell in one direction, from DNA to RNA and then to protein. -
Berners-Lee proposed a project, known as the world wide web . The project involves the publication of hypertext documents interconnected with hyperlinks. The project Web was designed for CERN scientists and was originally used on the internal network CERN. For the implementation of the project by Tim Berners-Lee invented the URIs (and, as a special case, URLS), the HTTP Protocol and the HTML language. These technologies formed the basis of modern world wide web.

Gained worldwide fame thanks to the invention of the steam locomotive. Considered one of the "fathers" of the Railways. George Stephenson — the engineer-mechanic.
The chosen track width of the track, is equal to 1435 mm (4 feet 8½ inches, the so-called "Stefanska" or "normal gauge"), became widespread in Western Europe and is still standard on the Railways of many countries of the world.
