Who is the Messi of the math/cs/science world? The one who consistently

Terrence Tao. Guy is an absolute freak.

maybe some teams? the guys at the LHC? The ones putting a rover on the Mars?

Shinichi Mochuzuki

>>7653438
I wonder what it's like to be as smart as Terry. Can he keep more concepts in his head at a time, or does he process things faster? Or both?

>>7653614
>Shinichi Mochuzuki

isn't he memetier?

also, who is the best female?

In number theory Richard Taylor has definitely consistently made top-level results

>numerous breakthrough results in the theory of automorphic forms, including the Taniyama–Weil conjecture, the local Langlands conjecture for general linear groups, and the Sato–Tate conjecture

Any of these one their own would be career-defining

Turing
Godel
Church
Kleene
Old school Math/CS guys

Deligne, Grothendieck (he's gone but I'm sure he will be remembered for a loong time), Serre

>>7653421
Yeah I'm pretty sure right now its got to be Terry right? He just annihilates all fields at once

>>7654600
nice ones

>>7653421
Alfred Tarski is probably one of the most prolific and diverse mathematicians/logicians of the 20th century. Most people would probably rank Godel and Grothendiek higher though. These days, Vladimir Voevodsky is doing some pretty interesting stuff.

Elon musk. The fucker behind tesla, SpaceX, PayPal, solar city, and some other shit. He's planning to get a million people on Mars, and the annoying part is he's going to do it.

Elon Musk isn't much related to math or CS.

He is very sexy, too. what a luscious beard.

Why don't you read his papers and decide for yourself?

>>7655263
Except he has a degree in physics and is an expert in every technology field that he is involved in.

>>7656623
Interesting. I've thought a lot about how I'd handle any kind of notoriety. I already know I can't handle it for very long, it makes life something awful and you're predisposed to become something awful by extension.

What if he'll "solve" it.

>>7656630
>expert
That's not true, anon. Also his Space X company isn't well run or staffed by brilliant engineers and scientists. They don't know how to lift a rocket, and only NASA has those engineers. Well NASA, and the three big defense contractors.

>>7656639
It's... a bit more complex than that.

I liked this documentary about him. Check it out:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ng1W2KUHI2s

Subs are shit though, but what can you do.

>>7656642
You're retarded

Try getting a job there.

>>7656647
I used to work there. Its not a cool company. Its staffed by morons. They don't have a lot of engineers with masters or PE. They have "engineers" with AS.

>No Witten

are mathfags so elitist? hes god a fields medal for christs sake

you think you virgins can come up with m-theory just because you're more pure?

>>7656650
Why is virgin such a goto insult around here?

>>7656655
Because girls can't into STEM, so they shitpost STEM-related boards.

>>7656655
Because society places expectations on men to be socially and sexually competent, since this is an important indicator of a man's utility in the eyes of women. Women are the dictators of morality and social norms, and since they therefore deem virginity to be so distasteful due to what it implies, it can be used as a potent insult.

>>7656650
>Witten
Because he's a physicist moreso than a mathematician

>>7656661
it is STEAM now

>>7657124
Fuck off.

>>7656645

That was actually a good documentary. I had no idea he had such an elegant solution, I fell for what was in the US papers, that the 100 page work was the entire proof, instead of the proof only being a small corollary of the greater theorem.

>>7656649

I've heard about that. What AS can get you into SpaceX?

Nnot in any sense of the word. He's incredible with analysis but he proves shit of limited knterest. Of coufse he keeps talkjng about navier stokes and computation, but the ojtput can't be compared with pasta mthematicians.
