Sir Edmond Halley, a discoverer. Born 1656, he found out in 1705 that a comet was periodic and would make another appearance in 1758. As predicted the comet appeared and then was known as Comet Halley. In 1742 Halley died and never really got to see his prediction come true. Thus not letting him live in the glory of his prediction was right.
in 1716 Haley also suggested that there were two types of diving bells that would enable people to explore the deep sea. Halley investigated different theories and understanding winds and tied He also suggested that the earth is made of concentric spheresthe size of the inner planets each of which might contain life , which as we know today is not true.
