Well, as long as it’s not important, then I guess we can all relax. It’s not like this is a “test question” on a university exam, so we don’t have to get all frustrated over it.

I think we can classify different “kinds” of “scientists”. Like Edison and the Wright Brothers were “inventors”. So were they also “scientists”? I would say “yes”, they were “inventor-scientists”, but others might disagree.

I’ve been studying Doppler lately. He was basically a high school teacher, who worked on an “idea”, and then he published his idea a year or so after he became a technical institute professor. So was he a “scientist”? I don’t know. I guess so. I find it interesting that he, above all other “scientists”, has his name mentioned the most by the American media today. More than Newton, Edison, and Einstein. Because today we have “Doppler radar,” and, thus, the American media mentions Doppler’s name several times every day.
