10 inventions that shook the world

In summing up the achievements of human civilization, the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical and Petroleum Engineers (AIMMPE) was rated the most important discoveries made throughout its history. Given that the American Institute for investigating cases, the most attention he paid technology for their production.
One important achievement of scientific thought was unanimously acknowledged periodic table of elements Russian scientist Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev (1869), without which all studies in the field of chemistry and nuclear physics would be very difficult.
Interestingly, a great idea Mendeleev came in a dream.
Master of all hands, bowling is his other invention, for many even more important than the periodic table : it is defined "ideal temperature for Russian vodka-40%. Furthermore, the great scientist typical manufacturing shop and has been an active member of the Union of Russian People, better known under the name "Black hundred."
The second AIMMPE set up technology smelting iron-indeed important for the development of all future civilization development occurred, the institution in Ancient Egypt in 1550 BC. Well, in the history of the Institute conducted much worse than in the technology and materials, or they knew that the first applied to iron hetta started, and it was 300 years earlier in Asia Minor.
Third replaced by transistor, invented in 1948 by American scientists William Gilbert, John Bardine and Walter Bratteinom obtaining for the Nobel Prize. Opening is certainly the beginning of miniature electronics, just why so unjustly forgotten radiolampa in which the electronics and began?
The fourth-an indispensable material such as glass, which appeared in 2200 BC. in the eastern Mediterranean. For scholars, it is first of all the material of manufacturing laboratory dishes, but for the general public-packaging for beer and spirits.
Microscope Dutch inventor Antoni van Levenguka (1632-1723) ranked fifth rating. Not content with a simple microscope, it has assembled device, which initially considered
blast and then Guy in the drop-and appalled! Since then, the genius drinking only tea and wine.
The sixth well as concrete monolith, a cement, which became effective on the 18th century and led a revolution in the construction industry. Incidentally, the old Berlin architect Friedrich Lantz had a revolution in the technology of the production of cement, offering to make it from the ... dog excreta!
Invention steel, which is seen as a 300 BC in India, was seventh. Needless to say-steel blades and games, and then steel cannons, tanks and bronenostsy played a crucial role in bringing together disparate empires in a modern civilization.
The eighth spot has produced more ancient weapons material-copper. She was fed the simplest way-finding copper nuggets. When they ended, about 5,000 years ago in Asia Minor gets inside the head of how it applied to the minerals. Incidentally, one of the oldest areas of metallurgy was Donbass, where archaeologists found copper mines and furnaces for smelting.
Diffraction X-rays crystals, which was opened in 1912, Max von Zoo was the ninth most important achievement of science. This has contributed immensely to the development of nuclear physics.
In the last, 10th place - converter for the smelting of steel from iron, which has set up English engineer Henry Bessemer (1813-1898). However, the method of obtaining the method martenovsky AIMMPE somehow ignored.

But so far, American science evolves identify the most important invention and the opening of mankind, simple British citizens approached the magazine "BBC Focus", commented on the fact that, in their view, not to invent it.
Powder, explosives and nuclear bombs were negative assessments 35% of respondents apparently are convinced pacifists.
Another odd-aversion mobile phone is 17% of the British, calling them the worst invention of mankind. Are they so disgusted supporters of the conservative English tranquillity?
On 9% negative ratings have nuclear power and television. Well, it is understandable that the first is a threat to the physical health and TV maim people mentally. But unexpectedly, as many Britons identified as the worst invention electric motoroller "Sinclair C5" released in the UK in 1985.
Six% of the respondents solemnly condemned cigarettes, cigars and other tobacco products, and the same vehicle. As can be seen, crews to the British several lesser evil than clean electric motoroller.
And at the end of the list of the worst inventions of humanity to the establishments fast food (3%), the camera speed for Surveys (3%) and related religion, which has been the most negative assessment of 2% of the British.
Meanwhile, the patent office received a growing number of requests, only in 2005, the World Intellectual Property Organization reported their 134,000! By the number of inventions traditionally led the United States, which together account for a third of all patents, they are Japan, Germany, France and Great Britain.
