Fleming stumbled on to Penicillin by accident,

Robert Watson-Watt is given the credit for inventing the radar. The first experimentations into what we would define as radar came in 1888 when Heinrich Hertz discovered that radio waves could be bounced off objects. In 1904, Christian Hulsmeyer patented an early warning system for shipping. Therefore, Watson- Watt did have prior research to inspire him.

Baird’s system was a dead end and only lasted a few months, the true inventor of TV as we know it today was if I’m correct the American Philo Farnsworth.

I’m sure it was Marconi or Reginald Fessenden who are given the credit for Radio.

There are a lot of myths out there, Dagurreotype for the camera, Galileo for the telescope.

Another valuable contribution and judging by charliehunt’s post count, what is it they say about empty vessels?

Do you think he will break the 10,000 barrier before the end of the year, my monies on sept, what’s yours?:D

I think that the time has come for me to apply for membership of Charlie’s ‘ignore’ list.

You know and I know that’s very unlikely, it’s just not in your make up, something tells me that you will not be able to admit your wrong, so bring it on.
