In men of science series, Prof Brian Cox , some of The Greatest researchers and their achievements

describes The UK's Royal Society has launched a project, say called, the stories of exceptional scientists through interviews and access to The Society 's rich archive. Here, Professor Brian Cox some of the posts declared to be the knowledge of researchers in the presented project.

The Nobel Prize -winning scientist Max Perutz once said that the scientists have changed, our way of Life more drastically than television stars, statesmen or generals.

If you try and imagine a world without antibiotics, Computer or engines, you can begin to understand his point of view. Science has also our place in the cosmos is defined.

It has been shown that we have a common ancestor with all Living Things on earth, that we are born, in an unbroken chain from The First living organisms almost four billion years ago, and we live on a small planet in an orbit of four hundred billion stars in our home galaxy, the Milky Way , even with over two trillion galaxies in the observable Universe .

too often, we take the science for granted, of powerful computers, we are all in our pockets to medicines, the treatment of almost every disease.

Every now And Then we take a step back and take a couple of minutes, the people and ideas that shaped the way we live and gave us a better understanding of our lives and The World around us.

It was geologist Charles Lyell , the calculated a rough number for the age of the earth, and it was the knowledge that helped Charles Darwin to understand the time scale for the evolution of Life .

Darwin fundamentally changed the way we view ourselves. Witness to David Attenborough 's reading of Darwin's The Origin of species is a moment I will never forget.

Joseph Rotblat left the Manhattan Project , the U.S. program for the construction of The First atomic bomb, the campaign for disarmament, finally, the price to win the Nobel peace prize.

Alice Lee uses statistical measurements to refute the widespread view that men were smarter than women because of bigger brains.

Alexander Fleming demonstrated Penicillin and Howard discovered it Florey generally available. Lewis Fry Richardson was one of The First meteorologists, Max Perutz gave us our first look at what looks like a protein and Barbara Mcclintock demonstrated that the genes are on the chromosomes. Michael Faraday brought us electricity.

In recent years, we have learned more about Alan Turing . He has become the subject of a Hollywood film and will soon be the new £50 Note -paper.

He is perhaps most famous for his code-breaking work helped win the Second World War , but he has also referred to as The Father of modern computing. He also has almost represented Team GB at the Olympic games in 1948.

Alan Turing , the code-breaking work win World helped the war II, Turing was responsible for the initial construction of the bomb machine, which cracked the encrypted German messages during the second World War

It is to discover the true joy and celebrates the Life and work of these amazing people and the archives of the Royal Society , are A Treasure trove of knowledge.

Isaac Newton once said "if I saw further because I stand on the shoulders Of Giants ", and the science is always build on what we already know.

This is why it is important to look back and to celebrate, the giants, whose work on the foundations for the science of the past, the present and the future.

the next generation will, hopefully, those who help us to combat Climate Change , produce enough food, to be sure, to eat that everyone enough to help us beat diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer's. They also explain The Origin of The Universe itself.

science is a way to view The World - it is to see how The World is, not through the filter of ideology, but through measured observation.

lives of people, their ideas, and these ideas, breeding new. It is that the flow of ideas combined with the reliance on evidence, which makes science unique. It is also the reason why science is reliable and to a large extent the confidence of The Public .

The trust is to explore what scientists are allowed, and it is their research leads to Progress - the kind of Progress that continues to improve our lives.
