You might be wondering ,why I chose Thomas Edison as my favorite scientist? Because he invented the light bulb and if he didn't invent that, we still might have been using fire torches.
Thomas Alva Edison was born on 11th February, 1847, in Milan, Ohio.
Thomas Edison was not a great pupil in school and was taught by his mother who was a school teacher.
At the age of 12, he lost most of his hearing . But he liked being able to not hear as it meant he could concentrate on his experiments and inventions.
He was an American inventor, with 1093 patent inventions, and greatly known for his invention of the electric light bulb and the phonograph (a machine that records and replays sound) and motion pictures (movies).
His famous quote was, "Genius is one per cent inspiration, ninety-nine per cent perspiration."
In 1881 Edison received the French Legion of Honor for his electric power system.
At one point in his life, Edison was called ‘The Wizard of Menlo Park’. Menlo Park was the name of the village one of his earlier factories was located in.
On 18 October, 1931, the great inventor Thomas Edison passed away at the age of 84.
