Nicolaus Copernicus: 1473 - 1543. With only a few crude mathematical instruments + pen and paper he proved the sun was the center of the solar system and earth revolved around the sun; and did so at a time when it was a pretty dangerous thing to do, considering the Catholic inquisition was running amok at the time. I changed my avatar to honor this half-forgotten genius.
