I’ll see if I can come up with alternatives for scientific discoveries… (Round earth / Columbus immediately jumps to mind.)

Who else has a claim on the telephone credit?

Television is a better one because it was clearly Baird and not that impostor that americans always claim as the inventor.

But anyway – those are all technologies and inventions – mine were about *scientific discoveries.

* because clearly calculus existed in the Platonic sense before it was discovered by Newton (and not Leibniz)

The steam engine without Watt.

The telephone without Bell.

DOS without Microsoft.

Can anyone else come up with three more?
