overall i'd say e=mc2-einstein of course. his theory is 100 years+ old & has yet tobe proven because science hasn't caught up yet in the modern era & the internet & computers & science universally. immediately the profound effects of what thomas edison has done by far contributed the most. have you ever lost power for more than two days. i never have until last year. let me tell you it was rather bleak. water got bad. food got bad. no fresh air & no a/c.thomas edison is #1. not to say the alexander graham bells, the polio vaccine, the x-ray inventor who died from the process of discovery, & much more have all been significant factors to our well being and yes the nuclear people are included for better & for worse.

Ernest Everett Just (August 14, 1883 – 1941) was a U.S. biologist. He was the first recipient of the Spingarn Medal in 1915.\n\nDr. Ernest Everett Just was born in Charleston, South Carolina in 1883 to Charles Frazier and Mary Matthews Just.\n\nHe attended Kimball Union Academy, a boarding school in Meriden, New Hampshire, in preparation for college. Ernest completed the four-year course of study in only three years.\n\nErnest went on to attend Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire and during his first year he received the highest marks of the entire freshmen class in Greek. He graduated from Dartmouth in 1907 and was the only student who graduated magna cum laude("with great honor"). Ernest won special honors in botany, history, and sociology and was designated as a Rufus Choate scholar for two years.\nIn 1907 Dr. Just began to teach at Howard University, an historically black college in Washington, DC. He taught at Howard from 1909 until his death in 1941. In 1909, he became a research assistant at the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Dr. Just published more than 50 scientific papers over 20 years based on research conducted during summers at Woods Hole.\n\nOn November 17, 1911 at Howard University, Dr. Just along with three students— Edgar Amos Love, Oscar James Cooper, and Frank Coleman, established Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. The name Omega Psi Phi was derived from a Greek phrase meaning "friendship is essential to the soul", and became the fraternity's motto. Manhood, scholarship, perseverance and uplift were adopted as Omega's cardinal principles.\n\nIn 1916, Ernest Just received his Ph.D.in experimental embryology, with a thesis on the mechanics of fertilization, from the University of Chicago.\nIn his scholarly work Dr. Just showed all the traits of a true scholar. He was unostentatious and modest in his personality. His inherent ability, scientific training, creative imagination, and industry were the basis for success in his field of zoology.\n\nContributions on the physiology of development were the legacy of Dr. Just's research. His work on the subjects of fertilization, experimental parthenogenesis, hydration, cell division, dehydration in living cells, the effect of ultra violet rays in increasing chromosome number in animals and in altering the organization of the egg with special reference to polarity.\n\nDr. Ernest Just was also one of the authors oGeneral Cytology, published in 1924. The list of authors includes, among other eminent zoologists: Dr. Frank R. Lille of the University of Chicago; Dr. T.H. Morgan, President of the National Academy of Sciences; Dr. M.H. Jacobs, Director of Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, Massachusetts; and Dr. E.G. Conklin of Princeton University. He is also contributed to Volume Two of Dr. Jerome Alexander's three-volume series on Colloid Chemistry.\n\nIn 1924 Dr. Just was selected from among the biologists of the world by a group of German biologists to contribute to a monograph on fertilization. It was one in a series of monographs by specialists working on fundamental problems of the function and structure of the cell.\n\nFrom 1920–1931 Dr. Just was the Julius Rosenwald Fellow in Biology of the National Research Council. Under this grant program he engaged in research as an adjunct researcher of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Biology, Berlin-Dahlam, working under Professor Max Hartmann. Dr. Just also worked at the marine biological laboratories in Naples and Sicily.\n\nIn 1930, Dr. Just lectured at the Eleventh International Congress of Zoologists, held at Padua, Italy. The lecture was entitled The Role of Cortical Cytoplasm in Vital Phenomena, which was based on the fifty published papers written by Dr. Just.\n\n"If we are to judge his accomplishments by standards set up by men of science, it can be said that Dr. Just is an eminent scientist. If we are to judge his value to Negro educatio

To a large degree.  We all are influenced by our personal interests, but his interests are so counterproductive for society (closed-minded theology, money over environment, war over peace, etc.)

Yes.  He's an inspirational man who teaches that everyone has the power to have a successful and happy life.  I read one of his books and it was full of wisdom and positive thinking. His ideas are only useful if you are willing to put in the work to become successful though.

SUSAN ISAACS (1885 - 1948)\n\n"She was as English as a cup of tea!"\n\nSusan was born in Bromlycross in Lancashire as the ninth of ten children in the family. Her father whom she loved very much was as a local newspaper editor. The family lived in Victorian middle class comfort, in the grim mill until tragedy struck, her mother died of cancer when she was only six. Her father re-married and her stepmother was horrible/bad to her.\n\nAt the age of 22 Susan entered the University of Manchester and it was here that she became interested in child development, under a great influence of John Dewery and Frederic Froebel.\n\nShe married her first husband, a botanist working in New Gardens in London. This marriage to an older man was not a happy one. Susan shocked everybody by divorcing her husband, which also resulted in loosing her job. She turned her feelings towards her student, ten years younger than her, Nathan Isaacs with whom she eloped to Europe in 1927. This was a happy relationship but there were no children.\n\nHer Main Philosophies\n\nShe has left a great deal of writings. Her man perception was the development of intellectual capacity of young children and social and emotional development.\n\nShe greatly believed in detailed children's observations which she her self kept very tidily.\n\nIn the book entitled Intellectual Growth in Young Children (1930), she stressed the importance of allowing the children to develop CLEAR THINKING and INDEPENDENT JUDGEMENT.\n\nShe could see, by focused observations of her own, that children are very capable of problem solving and she opposed Piaget's view that children were egocentric and unable to reason up to a certain age.\n\nIn her other famous book entitled Social Development in Young Children (1933), Susan says that emotions such as anger, fear, hostility and aggression should be openly encouraged. She believed that suppression of strong feelings would harm the young mind of the child.\n\nIn her school (Malting House School) she put all of these ideas into practice. She also advocated the need for self-assertion and independence to be developed by very young children.\n\nSusan Isaacs on Play\n\n"Children in their play can escape into real experiences or out of it and through doing this they learn about reflecting on life, getting a sense of control over there lives, developing self esteem and feeling abhorred."\n(Abbot and Moylett, 1999, Early Education Transformed)\n\nShe insists on cross-curricular play more than anybody we have talked about so far. She looked at play as a tool for exploration from the viewpoint of developmental psychology. (She use to write for Nursery World's equivalent)\n\nSummary\n\n•Influenced by the views of Freud and later Melanie Klein\n•Tried to ensure that children had freedom of action and emotional expression in her Malting House School\n•Recorded and commented on behaviour of young children in 'Social Development in Young Children' (1933). Discussed inner conflicts and fears of 3-5 year old children\n•But warned about amateur interpretation\n•Emphasised importance of play, particularly with other children\n"Play with other children gives the child confidence in himself, no less than his little friends, and not only helps him to feel less suspicious and aggressive to others but by giving him the delight of action and sharing and helping him discover the way in which he can carry out his own practical and imaginative pursuits with others laying down the foundation foe, a co-operative social life in later school years." (Isaacs, 1954, p14)\n•Make believe play helped children to solve intellectual problems

The Science of Mind takes the best of truth wherever it finds it; it assimilates the common thread that runs through virtually all spiritual (religious) teaching (The Golden Rule); it seeks to discover the unity within all living things, and all teachings.  The Science of Mind is open to change, to growth, to expansion of its principles, that there is one Life, that Life is God, that Life is perfect, and that Life is our life, now.\n\nReligious Science (United Church of Religious Science/Religious Science International), was founded by Ernest Holmes, author of The Science of Mind; Holmes spent all his life in seeking and finding the innate oneness he knew lay within all teaching.  He envisioned and sensed, and communed, with the one Mind, the one Life, that he felt was everywhere present, in and through and as, all life.  One of his most famous declarations is: "There is a Power in the Universe greater than you are, and you can use It."\n\nType "The Science of Mind" in your SEARCH box...you'll see the official website.\n\nReligious Science International actually is a result of a split in the organization; an occurance that Holmes regretted deeply.
