Greek scientists have influenced the thoughts and wisdom of Europe and the world since the ancient times. The ancient scientists of Greece have always held sway on the collective wisdom of the Europe. But currently the scientists in Greece are furthering the horizons of human knowledge on the cutting edge of technology and state of the art scientific research. At Greece, scientists are working on pollution control and nano-technology.
The scientific aptitude of the Greeks have always been phenomenal, on all walks of science they have left an indelible mark. It is almost impossible to discuss any natural or social science without mentioning prominently the contributions of the Greek scientists of the golden era or the Byzantine epoch. Philosophers like Aristotle and Archimedes, mathematicians like Pythagoras and Euclid have contributed heavily and often pioneered many branches of knowledge. The debt of the learned world to the Greek scientists also lies in the language itself; it is possibly the first language which adapted itself so wonderfully to the pursuit of scientific knowledge.
The modern Greek scientists are no less gifted although their contributions are not always so apparent as those of their predecessors as research nowadays is more of a teamwork. However these descendants of the magnificent thinkers of Greece are ably carrying the mantle of their illustrious forefathers, who have become the very symbol of the dedication and passion towards finding the truth through science.
