Did sir issac newton invent the light bulb?
don’t be daft – he was born in 1643 !!! Thomas Edison is generally credited with the invention of the elctric light bulb, but here’s some back story…. The first incandescent electric light was made in 1800 by Humphry Davy, an English scientist. He experimented with electricity and invented an electric battery. When he connected wires to his battery and a piece of carbon, the carbon glowed, producing light. This is called an electric arc. Much later, in 1860, the English physicist Sir Joseph Wilson Swan (1828-1914) was determined to devise a practical, long-lasting electric light. He found that a carbon paper filament worked well, but burned up quickly. In 1878, he demonstrated his new electric lamps in Newcastle, England. The inventor Thomas Alva Edison (in the USA) experimented with thousands of different filaments to find just the right materials to glow well and be long-lasting. In 1879, Edison discovered that a carbon filament in an oxygen-free bulb glowed but did not burn up for
No, an American called Thomas Eddison invented the light bulb, and that as after a British man called Faraday discovered electricity. Newton discovered and “Invented” the word Gravity, after an apple hit him on the head. And if you want to see how much gravity something would use while dropping to the floor, use a Newton Scale. Newton also created the lightbulb to have the “Bayonet” clip, as he’d seen U.S soldiers fighting the Native American Indians attatch the bayonet to their muskets and noitced it was a secure fit, the screw-in light bulb was invented a few years later. Newton though, became a “Sir” after his services to physical sciences.
No, the light bulb was invented by Leonardo Da Vinci! It is a little known fact that he also invented the heavy bulb, but thus far no use has been discovered for that! It was with the help of his novel form of illumination that he painted ‘La Gioconda’, a picture that Isaac Newton greatly admired, and subsequently re-christened the Mona Lisa. It used to hang in his loo, but now it hangs in the Louvre, near Paris. The French got their hands on it by stealing Da Vinci’s designs for the helicopter and flying down to make a dawn raid on Newton’s ancestral home. Meanwhile, Thomas Edison got hold of Da Vinci’s ‘mirror writing’ and, gnivah dekcarc eht edoc, made short work of filing patents on all of the Italian genius’s inventions- thus ensuring his own fame and fortune.
