All you need for a great invention is within yourselves!
A discovery is recognizing something that already exists for the first time, that nobody has found before,
e.g. how Christopher Columbus discovered the Americas.
An invention is creating something totally new with one’s own ideas and development. Although an invention is completely new to the world, the physical material needed for its production already exists, innovated from the ideas and experiences of the individual. Thus making inventions unique. Creating all the material into something with the concepts of + − × and ÷ is what invention is all about. The combination of available material has no limits,
e.g. how Thomas Edison invented the light bulb.
RG Friends and Colleagues, thanks in advance for your active participation, answers and views....
Please mention the discovery / invention and the scientist who actually discovered / invented for easy reference....

Scientific invention is a scientific technique which helps or solves humans problems that he or she face in daily life. Here some discoveries that have changed the world:
Spherical ground(earth is round), vitamins, HIV – HIV, X-Ray, insulin, anaesthetic, germ theory, vaccination, photosynthesis,DNA double Helix, electricity,fingerprints,gravity,oxygen,penicillin,solar cell,transistor,engion,cinema,TV and internet.
Fire was the first discovery of man which stimulated growth of human society at first time. Steam engine was another such invention. Now we should work on degrading of man made materials in bio system to preserve life system on the earth.
Dear @Selvam, there were many similar threads about discoveries and inventions in past years. Here is my thread with many answers and resources about famous inventors and their inventions and discoveries.

Dear Selvam,
The greatness of a discovery cannot be determined without its purpose. A discovery can be considered excellent in one situation or to serve one purpose. However, as Isaac Newton is considered the greatest scientist of all the time, therefore, his law of universal gravitation can be considered as the greatest discovery.
Best Wishes,
The greatest discovery of human being is to discover him/herself. When he/she discover him/herself, he/she can discover the whole universe.
The work about our life system: double helix structure of DNA
see: Francis Crick and James Watson - a paper in Nature,1953.

I fully agree with all the colleagues who answered before me. The aforementioned inventions have brought us to the present development. Now it seems to me necessary to continue to increase development and safeguard it from man himself. It is therefore necessary for us all to realize: to be all citizens of the world belonging to a single race, the human race; that we have only one planet and we have to respect it and deliver it intact to future generations. The mass media, and particularly the Internet, can and will play a crucial role in achieving these goals. In fact, the network makes us all feel closer and the like. This fact destroys prejudices, away the wars, and fosters for peace in all world. For these reasons I believe that mass media and in particular the network are the most important of the inventions.
A discovery I think very interesting as well as great is Einstein's theory of general relativity. See, for example, the link below:

What are the very interesting discoveries and inventions of human-being?

The most important discovery was the experience that some green stones melt when put in fire... This was the beginning of transformation from stone age to copper age. Manufacturing of metal tools was the most important step of human development because it initialized all the other stages of development. It is amazing that this development was possible because there was absolutely no theoretical knowledge available before this step...

Andreas
