Rank history's top scientists

[Red Dawn]

1) Isacc Newton: Gravity, calculus, and the laws of mechanics. and motion Top dog. Game over.

2) Charles Darwin: No, dinosaurs did not live along side humans, and the earth is not 6000 years old.

3) Galileo: Rennassaince man, the poster child of enlightenment against the Church's ignorance and oppression.



For the women:

-Marie Curie: If I'm not mistaken, the only scientist in history who won two Nobel prizes in two different scientific fields.

Issac Asimov ... a nearly forgotten one that is responsible for more of the dreams we have seen coming to realization than most give him credit for. Dreaming is also a science.

 

[Red Dawn]

I"m going to have to add George McCready Price to my list - the inventor of Creation Science; noted Seventh Day Adventist, and armchair geologist.

glenn seaborg was my neighbor.....

Nikola Tesla. More of an inventor I guess, but his inventions were scientific.

totally. that guy was a genius....if a bit of a kook. He was evidently totally whacked out.

And he has a kick ass rock band named after him! Bonus!

Our greatest scientists are always those considered insane by other scientists. Einstein was whacko to, remember.

 

[jillian]

when they're that brilliant, they're "eccentric".

I have to add Jonas Salk to the list.

no Eistein was eccentric. You're right, geniuses can be eccentric.

Tesla was beyond eccesntric. a totaly whack job. I saw a show on the history channel about him. For what that's worth.

Hmm ... is it sad that I would actually agree ...

Okay... Serious post here:

Carl Friedrich Gauss
Isaac Newton
Richard Feynman
Enrico Fermi
Werner Heisenberg

 

[KittenKoder]

I would venture to add Howard Lovecraft, but he only did a few things to benefit science with his works. He did help to inspire some other scientists though.

Doctor Who

L Ron Hubbard

 

[Red Dawn]

for mani:

Professor from Gilligan's Island.

I actually met a science legend once.

I met Jane Goodall. That was cool. She smelled like chimpanzee.

 

[random3434]

Oh wait, you wanted scientists, not scientologists!




As a woman, I'm going to go with Madame Curie. I wrote an extensive report on her in college for my chemistry class. She was so intelligent, and ahead of her time.



I did Galileo too, he was ahead of his time too.
