There is no one greatest scientist, but there are great scientists; those who contribute significantly to one field of study, or who found one, or contribute to multiple fields of study in a significant way, or alter the way all of humanity percieves the world in a profound way. All of the below mentioned people did this, and many more.
Albert EinsteinAlbert Einstein, because of his revolutionary work on special and general relativity.There are scientists trying to prove his special and general relativity theories are wrong. They've shown a tiny bit may be incorrect. Therefore in a few years, there may be another theory.
Galileo Galilei
Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher who played a major role in the Scientific Revolution. His achievements include improvements to the telescope and consequent astronomical observations, and support for Copernicanism. Galileo has been called the "father of modern observational astronomy", the "father of modern physics", the "father of science", and "the Father of Modern Science." Stephen Hawking says, "Galileo, perhaps more than any other single person, was responsible for the birth of modern science."
Sir Isaac Newton
English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist, and theologian and one of the most influential men in human history. His Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, published in 1687, is considered to be among the most influential books in the history of science, laying the groundwork for most of classical mechanics. In this work, Newton described universal gravitation and the three laws of motion. In mechanics, Newton enunciated the principles of conservation of both momentum and angular momentum.
In optics, he built the first practical reflecting telescope, and developed a theory of colour based on the observation that a prism decomposes white light into the many colours which form the visible spectrum. He also formulated an empirical law of cooling and studied the speed of sound.
In mathematics, Newton shares the credit with Gottfried Leibniz for the development of the differential and integral calculus.
A 2005 survey of scientists in Britain's Royal Society asking who had the greater effect on the history of science, Newton or Albert Einstein. Newton was deemed the more influential.
Many people agree that Newton is the greatest scientist, but neglect to mention the people who helped him. Without him there would have been much less progress in the world.
AryabhattaAryabhata was the first in the line of great mathematician-astronomers from the classical age of Indian mathematics and Indian astronomy. His most famous works are the Aryabhatiya (499 CE, when he was 23 years old) and the Arya-siddhanta. The mathematical part of the Aryabhatiya covers arithmetic, algebra, plane trigonometry, and spherical trigonometry. It also contains continued fractions, quadratic equations, sums-of-power series, and a table of sines. He gives 0 & Pie, the most valuable elements of science. Aryabhata appears to have believed that the earth rotates about its axis.Aryabhata states that the Moon and planets shine by reflected sunlight. Instead of the prevailing cosmogony in which eclipses were caused by pseudo-planetary nodes Rahu and Ketu, he explains eclipses in terms of shadows cast by and falling on Earth. Thus, the lunar eclipse occurs when the moon enters into the Earth's shadow (verse gola.37). He discusses at length the size and extent of the Earth's shadow (verses gola.38-48) and then provides the computation and the size of the eclipsed part during an eclipse. Later Indian astronomers improved on the calculations, but Aryabhata's methods provided the core. Stephen HawkingIt really depends on personal opinion. I would say professor Stephen Hawkings.Their have been four major scientists, in the history of mankind, Galileo, Newton, Einstein, and Stephen Hawking. All accomplished great things but the early ones such as Galileo and Newton were restricted by the technology of their times. Personally my choice would also be Stephen Hawking solely because he suffers from ALS and does most his equations in his head, but Einstein is very close.
Stephen Hawking's equations are done by his students.
Charles DarwinEnglish naturalist who realised and presented compelling evidence that all species of life have evolved over time from common ancestors, through the process he called natural selection. The fact that evolution occurs became accepted by the scientific community and much of the general public in his lifetime, while his theory of natural selection came to be widely seen as the primary explanation of the process of evolution in the 1930s, and now forms the basis of modern evolutionary theory. In modified form, Darwin's scientific discovery is the unifying theory of the life sciences, providing logical explanation for the staggering diversity of life. Leonardo da VinciLeonardo da vinci is without doubt the greatest scientist of all time Edward WittenWe have learned a lot about the world and how it works since we began investigating it. And everyone is standing on the shoulders of those before him, whatever the field of investigation. In advanced physics, we are still probing the ultimate nature of reality. Edward Witten is at the forefront of these scientists, and he is still at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton.When the ultimate nature of matter, energy and the reality of the universe is pulled together, he may be the man to do it. He has unified string theory and is still a major force in physics, and works at the cutting edge of theory. On a sad note, it is unfortunate that Stephen Hawking is so limited by his medical difficulties. He and Dr. Witten would be able to generate an intense dialogue over what it is that really makes up the "most reduced" form of matter.
James Clerk MaxwellMaxwell unified electricity and magnetism, and founded electrodynamics through the collection of four equations now known as Maxwell's Equations. These equations lead Maxwell to discover that light was nothing other than electromagnetic radiation. Maxwell's Equations formed the basis and inspirations for the two major scientific revolutions of the 20th Century, relativity and quantum mechanics. Even after the radically changed landscape of physics after these revolutions, Maxwell's Equations prove remarkably universal.It is subjective to determine the most beautiful scientist in history as beauty is a subjective and personal trait. However, Marie Curie is often considered a symbol of beauty and intelligence due to her pioneering work in radioactivity and her dedication to science despite facing significant challenges in her personal and professional life.
Many scientists were tremendous such as Stephen hawkings, Isaac newton, albert Einstein, Alexander graham bell, but some people say albert Einstein was greatest, its up to the person's opinion.
Probably someone like Albert Einstein or Thomas Edison. I don't really know for sure, but probably me because I thought of the air-conditioned hat and the prototype should be out soon. ( Not really but it is a good idea ).
Antoine Lavoisier was the scientist whose work was most essential in applying the scientific method and quantitative methods in chemistry. His work on the conservation of mass and the development of the chemical element system were pivotal in the advancement of modern chemistry.
A chemist or materials scientist would be the most likely to apply for a job in developing a more effective laundry stain remover. They would use their knowledge of chemicals and materials to create new formulations that can effectively remove stains from fabrics.

Antoine Lavoisier was the scientist who suggested that acids contain hydrogen and oxygen.
A chemist or a materials scientist would likely investigate how to synthesize materials found in plants, such as natural fibers or bio-based plastics, by studying the chemical composition and properties of these materials to develop synthetic alternatives.

i believe the old Churches in the country are the most intricate and beautiful buildings there. Also, the centuries worth of history within their walls all the more make them memorable and beautiful inside.
