Wat? Also get a fucking wordpress faggot.
>>8803510
>Jurisprudence is not a science
By definition it is a science of law
>Philosophy is not a science
Read W. V. O. Quine
>>8803505
>knowing this much about every field
I'm on the fence between saying it's impressive you're so knowledgeable, to saying you wasted a ton of time and don't know anything. Like jurisprudence. What the fuck is that? Did you google "list of science subjects," find jurisprudence, and then spend hours reading about all the scientist in that field?
>>8803505
Science isn't chess. You can't just say one person trumps all others.

Here's my list:
>Mathematics: John von Neumann
>Physics: Isaac Newton
>Chemistry: Fritz Haber (mainly due to his invention of artificial ammonia synthesis, arguably the most important chemical discovery in the history of the world)
>Philosophy: Friedrich Nietzsche
This is bait
>alan turning
>noam fuckwitsky
Lol how blue pilled can you get?
Mathematics: i'd say Neumann
Physics: Newton
Chemistry: Mendeleev
Logic: Kurt Gödel
Astronomy: Newton Again
Biology: Charles Darwin, only because he screwed over the first word of the chruch
Philosophy: Nietzsche
>>8803505
Mathematics: Niels Henrik Abel
>>8803505
>Psychology
>Not Freud
>inb4 Psychoanalysis is pseudoscience
Today it is irrelevant, but back in the day it was fundamental.

>>8804371
what important results did rms come up with? literally worthless.
>>8803505
>best
there's probably hundreds of scientists that live today that are better than those
they just lived in times when things were being discovered
>>8805565
yeah I bet you would have discovered all that if you were there smarty pants
>>8803505
>tfw no Nikola Tesla
>>8805576
meme engineer
>>8805568
me?no
somebody? yes
>>8803616
>Science & MATH
Though I agree that below sociology (inclusive) has no place here; Logic, Statistics and CompSci all have very very firm mathematical groundings and all require mathematical reasoning and theory to develop them and thus are welcome on the science and MATH board
>>8803505
Mathematics: Euler
>>8803505

You literally just picked the most memed scientists within each field... Well done OP, you dun' goof'd
>>8803531
I remember being thirteen
>>8803505
>Discover something first
>hurry best scientist ever
Pro tip. The average scientist today contributes more overall then aNY of these granpas.
He'll Turing cotributes nothing other than a concept in a paper. Claiming he invented computers is like saying Da Vinci invented airplanes.
none of these people are scientists though bro.
They are all THEORETICAL Scientists.
there is a big difference
you need to able to test observe and repeat your theories
example ; can you show me a practical example of a body of water conforming to the exterior of a shape?
bow to your gods.....
these men you have never met
who wrote books you have never read
and all the while you have faith in their lies
sounds like you just joined a religion bro
>>8805803
The time of discovering is essential.
With the knowledge people had at that time, then there is a great likelihood the others wouldn't have reached the same conclusion with the same evidence, until years later.
If Mendel for instance didn't discover dominant and recessive genes, then someone else probably would have - but it could be decades later.
If one could rewrite the history and make a large number of these scientist die as children - there is a good chance we would be decades behind in our scientific understanding of the world.
How is von Neumann a meme? I don't think he is, but other math threads called him a meme
>>8803505
>Carl Gauss
Stop memeing his name he is called "Gauß".
>>8805811
The earth's oceans.
>>8805811
>They are all THEORETICAL Scientists.
aka. the only scientists who ever did something remotely useful.
"Applications" are a meme, every idiot (also known as engineers) can do that.
Physics: Newton
Life: Richard Feynman
>>8805562
his early work in ai research with sussman is still extremely relevant after decades.
>>8803505
this guy
>>8807511
classical (symbolic) ai is irrelevant
>Entire thread
>No mention of Maxwell or Boltzmann
Up your game

Newton should be mathematics and physics
>>8805745

Funny way of spelling Ludwig Von Mises

Are you the faggot Mathematician from the previous thread?
>>8803965
>Nietzsche
Hahahaha! Mongoloid tier sophistry.
Geology: James Hutton
>having an iota of respect for any economist ever
So far, every economic theory has turned out to be just a flawed ideology. The point of science is to make models that predict reality, not to justify your personal utopias.

Can't speak for the others but linguistics is definitely science. You probably don't have a clue what it is though. You probably think it's about translating and interpreting, or documenting and classifying obscure languages.

Your list is pretty perfect (but please, sociology, political science, linguistics, etc are not science)

I agree for the most part. However I disagree on some:
>physics
Isaac Newton
>economics
Ludwig von Mises
>philosophy
Aristotle
>>8803978
This. Einstein, Turing and Darwin are red flags.
