Feedback
1
Stodola’s work on turbines and engines influenced physics and engineering, topics Einstein valued.
2
Like Edison, Murgaš was a prolific inventor, and his work in wireless communication earned him this nickname. He combined creativity, patience, and scientific skill while also serving as a priest
3
Warhol’s parents immigrated from Slovakia in search of better economic opportunities.
4
Her innovative digital fonts gave designers variety — without them, most websites would have been stuck in boring, default Times New Roman.
5
Paratrooper drops were not yet common; parachutes primarily saved pilots from aircraft emergencies.
6
Štefánik died in 1919, while Hitler became prominent in the 1920s and 1930s.
7
Steam turbines revolutionized electricity generation and industrial machinery.
8
Murgaš was a pioneer of wireless communication — Starlink’s global satellite internet would fit his skills perfectly.
9
Warhol loved mass culture and accessibility — a social media filter that instantly transforms selfies into pop art is exactly his style.
10
Licko’s innovative fonts advanced typography in digital design and user interfaces.
11
Just like new iPhones are marketed as essential life upgrades, Banič’s parachute would be advertised as the ultimate survival must-have.
12
Štefánik combined science, travel, and adventure — today, he’d probably share his explorations with the world online.
13
Stodola specialized in turbines and engines — today he’d most likely teach students about renewable energy systems.
14
During his era, priests working in experimental science could face skepticism or conflict from church authorities.
15
Pop art typically focuses on cultural icons and celebrities; a contemporary superstar like Taylor Swift fits that mold.
16
Just like she used early computers to push font design, today she’d probably dive into AI-driven typography tools.
17
Banič had moved to the United States to work and live, which is why he applied for and received the patent there. His time in the US allowed him to develop and officially protect his parachute invention.
18
Understanding celestial navigation allowed pilots at the time to determine their position and direction, so Štefánik’s astronomy knowledge complemented his aviation skills.
