Redneck, it's not Iotola Khomeini, it's The Ayatollah KhomeiniThe list looks great, it would be so much easier if it was just American influences.

I should have known it started with an A.I like your list McCantz, but I still think Martin Luther is more influential that Martin Luther King JR.

1. Adolf Hitler Unlike the majority of my list, Hitler used terror, evil, and power to become the most influential man to ever walk the earth. Hitler influenced the world with evil, attempting to overtake the world by eliminating many minorities throughout Europe who did not belong to the Aryan race. Hitler was the founder and the leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party, also known as the Nazi Party. He was a charismatic speaker, and made the German people look up to him as a hero and savior, promising them that he would boost Germany's struggling economy after the loss in WWI. Germany was struggling economically after the loss in the war and Hitler used the easiest tactics to blame one race for an entire country?s problems. Hitler blamed the Jews for the pollution of the ?master race,? the poor economy, the loss of WWI, and the influx of bolshevism into Germany?s post WWI society because many communists were Jewish. He believed that the Jews were taking over the country because many of them owned banks and businesses in Germany and Hitler was jealous that a non-Aryan race was so successful. He used propaganda and scare tactics to take over power in Germany and eliminate the Jews. The reason he was so successful was because he eliminated anyone who spoke out against the Nazi party making himself look like a hero because the only people who were left were forced to support him because they were either Hitler believers and were fooled by Hitler?s charisma, nationalism, and promise to boost the economy or were simply people who were afraid of the Nazi Party and were forced to support because of Hitler?s reign of terror. Hitler is responsible for killing approximately eleven million people, including the genocide of about six million Jews. The other five million were mostly compiled of homosexuals, gypsies, the mentally disabled, and other non-Aryan groups. Hitler influenced the world by genocide through concentration camps killing millions using methods of starvation, terrible conditions, gas chambers, and forced labor until death. It is very upsetting that the most influential man was a dictator who used evil to kill millions of innocent people because he put the blame on an innocent hard-working non-Aryan race. That's what I put down for Hitler, does anyone have an suggestions for a last sentence that could really put an effect on the reader (my teacher who is Jewish? Anything I put that was incorrect or anything that I could correct or add into my two paragraphs to make it better? Please, we need BBW's smartest members to come together and help a brother out!

Can somebody please explain to me how Galileo went under house arrest, how he died, why he went under house arrest, what he invented, and why he was so influential?

With the loss of many of his defenders in Rome because of Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, Galileo was ordered to stand trial on suspicion of heresy in 1633. The sentence of the Inquisition was in three essential parts: * Galileo was required to recant his heliocentric ideas; the idea that the Sun is stationary was condemned as "formally heretical." However, while there is no doubt that Pope Urban VIII and the vast majority of Church officials did not believe in heliocentrism, Catholic doctrine is defined by the pope when he speaks ex cathedra (from the Chair of Saint Peter) in matters of faith and morals. While Church officials did condemn Galileo, heliocentrism was never formally or officially condemned by the Catholic Church, except insofar as it held (for instance, in the formal condemnation of Galileo) that "The proposition that the sun is in the center of the world and immovable from its place is absurd, philosophically false, and formally heretical; because it is expressly contrary to Holy Scriptures", and the converse as to the Sun's not revolving around the Earth.[14] * He was ordered imprisoned; the sentence was later commuted to house arrest. * His offending Dialogue was banned; and in an action not announced at the trial and not enforced, publication of any of his works was forbidden, including any he might write in the future.After a period with the friendly Ascanio Piccolomini (the Archbishop of Siena), Galileo was allowed to return to his villa at Arcetri near Florence, where he spent the remainder of his life under house arrest, going blind and dying from natural causes on January 8, 1642.

Inventions

He created sketches of various inventions, such as a candle and mirror combination to reflect light throughout a building, an automatic tomato picker, a pocket comb that doubled as an eating utensil, and what appears to be a ballpoint pen.

Inventions and influence on astronomy

Based only on sketchy descriptions of the telescope, invented in the Netherlands in 1608, during that same year Galileo made one with about 3x magnification, and later made others with up to about 32x magnification. With this improved device he could see magnified, upright images on the earth - it was what is now known as a terrestrial telescope, or spyglass. He could also use it to observe the sky; for a time he was one of very few who could construct telescopes good enough for that purpose.

Influences in Math:

* He understood the parabola, both in terms of conic sections and in terms of the ordinate (y) varying as the square of the abscissa (x). * He asserted that the parabola was the theoretically-ideal trajectory for uniformly accelerated motion, in the absence of friction and other disturbances. Further, he noted that there are limits to the validity of this theory, stating that it was appropriate only for laboratory-scale and battlefield-scale trajectories, and noting on theoretical grounds that the parabola could not possibly apply to a trajectory so large as to be comparable to the size of the planet.[5] * He recognized that his experimental data would never agree exactly with any theoretical or mathematical form, because of the imprecision of measurement, irreducible friction, and other factors.
