Who was the actual inventor of the light bulb?
What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when someone says the name of Thomas Edison? We bet you associate him with the invention of the light bulb. Well, we hate to break it to you, but Edison didn’t own that invention.

While the American inventor did land the patent for the light bulb in 1880, the real mastermind behind it was Warren de la Rue. This British astronomer and chemist created the world’s first light bulb in 1840, seven years before Edison was born.
