What is the difference between scientists and inventors?
Scientist refers to a scientific worker who reproduces, understands, explores and practices nature, life, environment, phenomena and their properties, and makes outstanding contributions and has outstanding achievements.
1833, at the third conference of the British Association for the Promotion of Science , the term "scientist" was proposed to refer to workers engaged in general scientific research. This is a new group with a common belief - exploring the laws of nature and putting them into practice. The term "scientist" was proposed when the Newton manuscript was buried in the aristocratic manor, but the debate on Newton and others became increasingly fierce with the evolution of the times, and some people came out to defend Newton's image.
Scientists have specialized knowledge and are more qualified to learn about the dangers and potentials brought by scientific discoveries in advance. Therefore, they have special abilities and shoulder special responsibilities for the most urgent issues of our time.
In today's world, human society has more spare time to explore how to more easily get out of the state of natural animals. The increase in people who are engaged in the production of survival necessities in non-first-line will inevitably strengthen various groups of people differentiated in various periods, as a group, used to maintain the entire human survival state.
Therefore, science has enjoyed more and more material support in many countries, mainly because it plays a very important role in the development of the country. The current international competition has evolved into a battle between science and technology.
The real purpose of science is to enhance human knowledge and for the welfare of all mankind and improve human ability to control nature.
The main categories of scientists today are: physicists, chemists, biologists, geographers, geologists, ecologists, astronomers, cosmologists, psychologists, physiologists, medical scientists, psychiatrists, geneticists, virologists, mineralologists, computer scientists, etc. Such as Newton, Einstein , Galileo , Madame Curie , Yang Zhenning , Da Vinci , Roentgen , Faraday , Tesla , etc.
