There has been millions upon millions of inventions invented by different brilliant people, that we would be no where in life without today. Like the light bulb we were always taught in school that Thomas Edison invented it but in reality it wasn't him he perfected it. Though it was actually 20 other scientists who had different patents on it, but none of there were successful as Edison's they tried but faced many different obstacles.

Edison deserves to be credited as the inventor of the light bulb, because he perfected the light bulb by finding the right materials and doing more research. He did what others couldn't, by making it commericially successful and mass producing it.


 Many men tried to work on the light bulb but failed. According to ''Thomas Edison did not invent the light bulb'', English man Humphrey Davy showed his electric lamp invention to the royal society and the light burned out so quickly. Joseph Swan began experimenting with different materials but none of them worked for any amount of time to be recorded.

Thomas Edison  perfected it by designing his own with high resistance thin filament of carbon and a high vaccum with a sealed off glass ,which resulted in a life of 1200 hours. Edison was able to mass produce and it was able to sale over 300,00 bulbs in the United States.


The definition of Invention is the Process within a overall engineering and product development process , It may be a improvement upon a product or a new process and that is what Thomas Edison did so he should continue to be credited with inventing the light bulb.

Every year on the 14th of February there are hearts, cupid, ballons and chocolate are thrown  everywhere you can't go anywhere without seeing red this and pink that. But have you ever thought of how all of this came about? what is the history? Some sources believe that the catholic church decided to christianize the actually pagan celebration of Lupercalia , a fertility festival dedicated to Fanus a roman god. Is this holiday as sweet and lovely as we really think? According to one source, ''members of the Luperci, a group of several roman priest',would come together at a sacred cave where Romulus and Remus the founders of Rome and would sacrifice a goat for fertility, and a dog for purification'' (History of valentines day) . I know you're probably thinking what the hell is this, but this is not it. Then they would skin the animals and dip them in their own sacrificial blood and whip women with it. The women actually believed that it would make them fer

The  human body replaces itsself every 7- 10 years and sometimes often. There are over 75 trillion cells in the body. Organs like the intestines, skin, liver and bones all replace themselves whether its every few years or weekly. The most important cells replace themselves faster. we all may have the questioned why the body replaces itself or how the body replaces itself. The body makes new cells in different ways. one way is by a process called mitosis, when a parent cell splits into two new cells and those cells are called daughter cells which are copies of the original cell. Another way the body replaces itself is stem celling. They are usually in the lowest amount. Cells like blood cells and nerve cells can not make copies of themselves. When you are born with spaces between your hands and feet is caused due to cells dying preventing you from having webbed hands and feet like some animals. All cells eventually shrivel up and die. Skin, the epidermis goes through a lot of wear becau
