Einstien: mafacka played the violin, and seen the galaxy with out actually witnessing its paradox.

Newton: That son of a bitch had some hair to die for and gave einstien the foundation to discover the function of time.

Edgar allan poe: Quantum head master, Raven sat upon his door. Crazy bastard killed an old man cause his nightmarish twisted fuelled mind told him too: not to mention he married his 13 year old cousin at 26 and wrote what is known to be some of the best poetry known to date:.

>>8542106
A synthetic organic chemist who works at Scripps in La Jolla. As an undergrad they used to see him sleeping in the lab. They had to tell him to leave. But since then he has undertaken some of the most complex total syntheses. I saw the guy give a lecture in Boston personally, and he's the type of guy who goes into a lab and tries to do things that books say you shouldn't be able to do, and he succeeds.

Just a few of the alltime greats. It's not possible to rank them much more precisely.

Shit? He made the first colour photo, proved that the Saturn rings cannot be a rigid solid or a fluid, finally unify the concepts of electricity and magnetism, and also publish poetry (https://tspace.library.utoronto.ca/html/1807/4350/poet400.html)

True that - said, the Raven.

Enrico Fermi - physics
Richard Feynman - Feynman (physics) models
Max Planck - planks length - the size of the average anon penis


Maybe Johannes Kepler for discovering how my mom moves across the kitchen.

Grigori Perelman
Nikola Tesla
Alexander Grothendieck

Einstein
Hawking
Mendel
(Edward Witten, he's so underrated)

my top three would be;

1) of course, Einstein
2) Johny von Neumann
3) Richard Feynman

with an honorable mention of Erwin Schrodinger

These scientists, especially Richard Feynman, inspired me to devote my life to understanding the fundamental laws of nature. Therefore, in my eyes the some of the greatest scientists, the world has ever seen.

I believe he did contribute to science in aspects of computer science. In particular, with digital computers to store both sequences of instructions and data.
Among other massive breakthroughs, he is almost always considered the originator of the basic principle of computer, design known as the "von Neumann architecture".

i find that rather impressive, and altogether inspiring

disappointed I only saw 6 hits for Euler.

>>8546350
tbqh Gauss and Newton did more science than Euler.

>>8546364

I'm not suggesting who should be 1/2/3, just Euler should be showing up more, that's all.
>>
>>8546236
BECAUSE I SPIT HOT FIRE!

Gauss, Newton, Einstein are all easily in the top 10.

Anyone named Bernoulli is a good pick.

Alhazen probably the best pre-Newton scientist.

What a stupid thread.

Is the gear any less important in a machine than the lever.

so math is not a subset of science?

math is deduction in practice
science is induction in practice
