Bumping this because I'm curious and I want in on the meme. I saw "Von Neumann universes" and my nose started bleeding a bit. Conceptually that wasn't even a a very difficult idea (very very large finite numbers related to cardinality or similar), I just wasn't familiar with the jargon/motivation.

I barely know anything about the guy, but I know what a von Neumann probe is.

Any famous concepts named after you, OP?

He made advancements in so many different fields. He was part of the manhattan project, developed game theory, stored-program computing, and a whole slew of other shit.

I don't know if he has an 'E=MC^2' though, or something that people will definitely remember him for. Maybe game theory.

maybe von neumann architecture

Convincing people that he was some kind of transcendent, super-computing, hyperintelligent being who solved problems and learned things with unlabored flawnessness.

He's got a lot of things named after him. Maybe not the most but he's up there.
