before patents the legal definition of an invention was not written down
They were given credit before that though, which would have been just as valuable
Periodic table is an invention.
It is a visual representation of several Data points relevant to the nature of atomic elements.
discovery doesn't work because Darwin didn't invent the animals he documented
periodic table is an invention... just like a tv was invented, even though its elements were discovered... its not that hard
he just cataloged them
It is a categorization based off of shit that was already there but wasn't noticed yet, hence discovered
not exactly
he didnt catalogue anything
More like a standard of visualising the elements, Like the Julian calander
he was the first INTELLECTUAL to write shit down
Mevedev invented a way of categorizing and displaying information for easy consumption.
no, the periodic table was a human centric system for notating the naturally occurring elements
but MANY noticed before him
they just didn't read nor write nor care
the notation was invented, the fact it is based on 8 was discovered
Exactly, it wasn't like he discovered periods or groups
He just invented the best way (so far) of visualizing it.
but we don't consider an 'method' an invention
in fact you can't patent an algorithm just an i mplementation of an algorithm
We literally do consider methods inventions.
Nobody invented the rules of physics f.e.
They were discovered
I think you can patent those
"in fact you can't patent an algorithm just an i mplementation of an algorithm"
nigger
you can patent an algorithm I have one patented
otherwise there would BE no Linux Desktop
When someone invented a method of etching lines in silicon using masks and uv light
well you can apply for a patent on just about anything
isnt Linus just open source?
They invented the ground work for integrated circuits today.
but can only ENFORCE a particular implementation
Like Google Android
it's GNU/Linux
not Linux
smh
not the desktop
literally 99% of it is GNU
