Remember guyz only leader's name comes in the history so the Dr. AQ Khan is the only person who made Atom Bomb. Only traitors and racist people do not accept that, it is the same to say MA Jinnah only contributed in movement for Pakistan and everybody made Pakistan and that's not true either member does not know the history of making atom bomb or he is racist to say this crap.

I agree with what you are saying, but I wouldn't go so far as to bring in the race card. I would rather call it a misconception.

Mostly, Pakistani students are taught about inventions and discoveries of Muslims and they list hundreds and thousands year old inventions by Muslims. But one important fact needs to be highlighted that Pakistani scientists, too, have a great contribution in where the world is standing today. There are hundreds of capable scientists which have worked on prestigious scientific missions and many of them even have invented numerous things in their disciplines.

This list of greatest Pakistani scientists prove that Pakistan is not far behind anyone in development of today and has a contribution in the modern world. Even though resources in the country are minimal, yet these brilliant minds were stronger enough to take over the circumstances.

(Following number-list is just for convenience, and it is not meant to rank them on certain positions.)

1) Dr. Naweed Syed

He is a Pakistani Canadian scientist. He is the first scientist who managed to 'connect brain cells to a silicon chip'. Dr. Naveed estimates science-fiction type 'Machine-Men' may be developed within 10 to 20 years, using his silicon chip. Currently he is a Professor and Head Department of Cell Biology & Anatomy at the University of Calgary, Canada. He was featured in Time Magazine (Canada) as well.

2) Naveed Zaidi
Organic Chemist and Polymer Scientist Naveed Zaidi developed world's first plastic magnet that functions at room temperature. Along with his colleagues Prof. Andy Monkman, Mr. Sean Giblin and Dr. Ian Terry from Department of Physics of Durham University, research took 4 years making him first scientist to develop world's first practical plastic magnet.

3) Amjad Farooq and Basit Farooq

They made world's first computer virus in 1986. It was made for MS-DOS operating systems. The virus used to infect the boot sector of storage media formatted with the DOS File Allocation Table (FAT) file system. This virus was suppose to stop and track illegal copies of their disk.

4) Abdus Salam
Abdus Salam was a Pakistani theoretical physicist who won a Nobel Prize in Physics for his contribution to 'electroweak unification' in 1979. He is the first Pakistani to receive a Nobel Prize.

5) Sultan Bashiruddin Mahmood

He has been an important part of Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission and regarded for development of the SMB probe to detect heavy water leaks in nuclear power plants. You can know more about him by watching his interviewgiven to a local Pakistani TV Channel.

I didnt know we made the first computer virus, i thought we just made alot of them.

means their brain has a virus ...common sense not too common I guess

Specially in the eastern side of the subcontinent
