What do we all want to achieve in our lives?
That is a pretty searching question, but, if we are honest, we would all like to think that we have made some significant contribution to the world in the time we have spent here.
Even so, in actual fact, few of us make any real impact on society during our lives. On the other hand, as we look at history there are some names that stand out in their contribution to the world.
My education was in the sciences and names like Newton, Kelvin and Faraday were legendary in my experience, but so many of them brought contributions to science which, although they developed the working of science, were mostly theoretical. I am thinking of the Kelvin absolute temperature scale, Newton’s laws of motion and Faraday’s discovery of electromagnetic induction.
