Albert Einstein Inventions Formula for Brownian Motion This was one of Albert Einstein's first inventions, based on experiments he did while he was in college. If you're like most of us and don't know what the Brownian Motion is, it's the movement of particles in liquids. No one had documented this effectively until Einstein came along.

- The heliocentric theory that he published in 1543 marked the first time that astronomers widely considered the possibility that the Sun was the center of the Solar System instead of the Earth. While no one knows who first discovered Mars, we do know who made many of the discoveries about the planet. It is known that Tycho Brahe, a Danish astronomer made accurate calculations of the position of Mars as early as 1576.

For these reasons, weaving was the last step in textile production to be mechanized.

Power Loom In 1784 Edmund Cartwright visited a factory owned by Richard Arkwright. Inspired by what he saw, he began working on a machine that would improve the speed and quality of weaving. Employing a blacksmith and a carpenter to help him, Cartwright managed to produce what he called a power loom. He took out a patent for his machine in 1785, but at this stage it performed poorly.
