His claim that \"harnessing the forces of nature was the only worthwhile scientific endeavor\" both impressed and enraged the scientific community.

He struggled in school and became deaf at an early age. Born on February 11, 1847, Edison would become, arguably, the best-known American inventor of all time. His invention of the light bulb was one of more than 1,000 patents he held during his lifetime. Others included the phonograph, the electrical grid, and motion pictures.
