My dik, very obscure dutch astronomer

Me. I've tried sharing my ideas here but you guys always ignore me. Your species is not yet ready to accept or even cope with the things I have learned.

>>8856034
Not a scientist.

>>8856032

Greek philosophers.

>>8856063
Yes he was

He made predictions about reality then tested them to see if they worked.

>>8856088
By that standard who ISN'T a scientist?

>>8856032

Galois

>>8856032
Youler

>>8856032
W.K. Clifford
>Anticipated vector algebra 30 years before Gibbs
>Anticipated General Relativity half a century before Einstein

A man ahead of his time.

archimedes is superior just for the fact that nobody surpassed his Quadrature of the Parabola until integral calculus came into play.

>>8856591
>Quadrature of the Parabola
Well, call me a brainlet but I never knew he invented that algorithm. I have to say, it's amazing. To think that the Greeks were doing this shit 2300 years ago and today people still aren't able of comprehending basic mathematics despite the fact that we're bombarded with information and we can access any book in the world almost instantly.

>>8856032
Imo it was Euler since his work is so fundamental and we still need centuries to truly understand all of it. I'm not saying that he did though.

>>8856032
Bill Nye

>the greeks

try some specially talented individuals. Also these guys had literally too much free time.

Came to post Archimedes. No contest.

Sir Herny Cavendish.

What about Gauss?

Anita Sarkeesian. In 300 years gender science textbooks will laugh at us

That's a good one, the man was doing FFTs before Fourier did his work on heat.

Tesla was the best. He ascended past third dimension before cell phones. He was a modern Jesus.

Fermat. invented iwasawa theory before anyone else.

I made that one it's not the same as the others. I can't figure out the right system of ODEs to get the geodesics arc-length parameterized.

Fuck that's missing the following definition for anyone that tries to run it:
[math]\texttt{replast[x_, xs__] := {x, xs, x}}[/math]

>>8856032

its not really an interesting question because most of the work scientists do is limited by the current state of the art and available technology. they are brilliant people don't get me wrong but usually the people with really staggering genius aren't scientists, or when they are that genius is not reflected in their work as scientists

ITT we argue the semantics of an arbitrary idea. God bless autism.
