1839: Theodor Schwann and Matthias Jakob Schleiden elucidate the principle that plants and animals are made of cells, concluding that cells are a common unit of structure and development, and thus founding the cell theory.

The atheists don't get it, they need to evolve a little more..  Good story..  Do you really have all of their xrays LOL...

not only did they go to school for a highly trained skill, the machines they use aren't cheap.  everyone thinks that when you go for an X ray and use those machines that its very costly, except IT IS COSTLY.  those machines cost HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS.  for you to pay $80 is peanuts when you look at the big picture.  and their aren't millions of them like cars so they can't be mass produced, they are hand made.  And that is why going to the dentist and any other type of doctor that has those types of machines is so expensive.  \n\nThey're not trying to rip you off, in fact they are trying to give you teh best price THEY CAN AFFORD.

Early in the century, Alessandro Volta invented the first source of continuous electric current - the battery. Later, Hans Christian Oersted discovered that an electric current produced magnetism. \n\nBut it was Michael Faraday who described the nature of the phenomena. In his electromagnetic induction theory he stated that an electric current flows in a conductor if that conductor is in a moving magnetic field and is part of a circuit. \n\n\nSmall-pox Vaccination  : Edward Jenner

English physician and physicist who established the principle of interference of light and thus resurrected the century-old wave theory of light. He was also an Egyptologist who helped decipher the Rosetta Stone (see photograph).\n\nIn 1799 Young set up a medical practice in London. His primary interest was in sense perception, and, while still a medical student, he had discovered the way in which the lens of the eye changes shape to focus on objects at differing distances. He discovered the cause of astigmatism in 1801, the same year he turned to the study of light.\n\nBy allowing light to pass through two closely set pinholes onto a screen, Young found that the light beams spread apart and overlapped, and, in the area of overlap, bands of bright light alternated with bands of darkness. With this demonstration of the interference of light, Young definitely established the wave nature of light. He used his new wave theory of light to explain the colours of thin films (such as soap bubbles), and, relating colour to wavelength, he calculated the approximate wavelengths of the seven colours recognized by Newton. In 1817 he proposed that light waves were transverse (vibrating at right angles to the direction of travel), rather than longitudinal (vibrating in the direction of travel) as had long been assumed, and thus explained polarization, the alignment of light waves to vibrate in the same plane.\n\nYoung's work was disparaged by most English scientists: any opposition to a theory of Newton's was unthinkable. It was only with the work of the French physicists Augustin J. Fresnel and François Arago that Young's wave theory finally achieved acceptance in Europe.\n\nYoung also studied the problem of colour perception and proposed that there is no need for a separate mechanism in the eye for every colour, it being sufficient to have three—one each for blue, green, and red. Developed later by the German physicist Hermann L.F. von Helmholtz, this theory is known as the Young–Helmholtz three-colour theory.\n\nHaving become interested in Egyptology, Young began studying the texts of the Rosetta Stone in 1814. After obtaining additional hieroglyphic writings from other sources, he succeeded in providing a nearly accurate translation within a few years and thus contributed heavily to deciphering the ancient Egyptian language.\n\nYoung also did work on measuring the size of molecules, surface tension in liquids, and on elasticity. He was the first to give the word energy its scientific significance, and Young's modulus, a constant in the mathematical equation describing elasticity, was named in his honour.

In 1928, bacteriologist Alexander Fleming made a chance discovery from an already discarded, contaminated Petri dish. The mold that had contaminated the experiment turned out to contain a powerful antibiotic, penicillin.\n\nRadium was discovered in 1898 by French physicist and Nobel laureate Marie Curie in pitchblende (a uranium and radium-bearing mineral).
