This document summarizes the lives and accomplishments of several scientists throughout history. It notes that Archimedes invented the pulley, screw pump, and studied hydrostatics and levers. Copernicus developed the first full heliocentric theory of the universe. Galileo made improvements to the telescope and discovered that mass does not affect descent rate. Leeuwenhoek invented the microscope and was the first to study cells. Newton originated the laws of motion and universal law of gravitation. Pasteur developed pasteurization and vaccines. Halley discovered Halley's Comet. Marconi invented radio. Tesla developed alternating current power systems. Einstein developed the theory of relativity and equation E=mc2. Jane Goodall studied chimpan
