    Thomas Edison said self:
    “I am a good sponge, I absorb ideas and make her usable. Most of my ideas originally belonged to people, which did not make themselves the trouble to develop them further.”

    I think, Thomas Edison was a great Inventor and perfectionist and Genius!

Hendrik Lorentz(non-Semitic) derived the transformation equations subsequently used by Einstein to describe space and time. Henri Poincare, a non-Semitic French physicist, who along with Lorentz, was a co-discoverer of the special theory of relativity.
