Isaac Newton.

William Ross Adey, Biology.
Vladimir N. Binhi or Tian Yow Tsong, biophysics.

The rest are difficult to put in a modern context.

Isaac Newton
Dmitri Mendeleev
Charles Darwin

Thomas Edison

lol

The only physicist as famous as Newton is Einstein, and Einstein didn't contribute nearly as much as Newton did.

> as famous as Newton

lol. newton was hardly known during his time. he was a loner dweeb who died a virgin and just stole everything from liebniz.

>laws of motion

the greeks had it figured out first. newton just added a third one and went "hey guys it was all me!!!"

>theory of gravity
> implying the apple tree story is true.

please. newton never even went outside

if you love newton so much you should just marry him. it's not like he was a plagiarist who just stole everything he was ever famous for to take the glory for himself. some people have honor.

Lol. How does anyone doubt that someone as autistic as Newton didn't invent calculus.

Indians had it all pretty well figured before the Greeks. Democritus and Lepponicus' Atomism was based on the earlier Buddhist idea of all reality being composed of granular units that transfer energy (this being what comprised "state" and separated one object from another, and also governed how one object may act and be acted upon). The Greeks just added geometry, mathematical formalism, and further defined change as being rearrangement of immutable geometric elements. Worth noting is that Atomism never really caught on in Greece. The arguments over whether there is only change, or change is an illusion, continued, despite Atomism reconciling the issues of both.

and yet they still prefer to use shitting street over nice clean toilet. why is this?

brilliant

Okay.

Fair enough.

>Isaac Newton
Okay.
>Dmitri Mendeleev
Yes.
>Charles Darwin
Okay.
>me
No.
>Thomas Edison
Mhm, I don't really think so.
>Leonardo da Dinci
Mhm, meh.

Good list.

British proxy colonialism, and certain long chains of accumulating dun goofs of their own throughout more recent history. Civilizations rise and fall, they never plateau.

Nice sketch. But even if Newton was not a fraudster when it comes to calculus and he actually had the fluxion methods in his drawer for years, it needed Leibniz to write it down much more clearly, the Bernoulli brothers and others to show you can do really cool things with what Leibniz showed and 3 additional years until fraudster brainlet Netwon published his first work that was really focused on calculus.

Not the other poster btw

Bill Nye.

>British proxy colonialism, is why they can't use a toilet
Mhm.

Yeah the industrial revolution is just British jingoism, coming to think of it.

Plebbit, go home.

>industrial revolution
>jingoism
No it fucking wasn't, imperialism was.
The industrial revolution was due to necessity:
>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-level_equilibrium_trap
>By contrast, the British economy at the time of the Industrial Revolution was much smaller and less efficient than China's. Local shortages could not be readily alleviated by internal trade; besides being far smaller than China, Britain lacked an efficient internal water-based trade network, which prompted the development of the steam engine and railroads. The early paucity of arable farmland in Britain encouraged technical refinements to improve crop yields at an early date, whereas the vast size of China permitted production to be increased simply by cultivating more land until late in the imperial period. Although overseas colonies provided cheap labor during the Industrial Revolution, local labor in Britain itself was more expensive than in China, providing the capitalist class an incentive to improve worker efficiency.

Maybe stick to Veeky Forums, Veeky Forumstory doesn't really seem your thing.

>links and quotes wikipedo before insisting leave board/go to reddit

Do you know what is more classic? That doesn't counter my point.

>That doesn't counter my point.
What point? You took obvious b8 and sperged out about it and now everyone is laughing at you.

Well, that's exactly what you were trying to do until I BYTFO, so nice projection AND hypocrisy.
You're even more retarded than your verbose dribble indicated.

It is never bait when Pajeet is about.

Not really when India is going to be global superpower by 2020 desu

Oh, you mean just like Japan was in the 1980s? Look how that turned out...

hey this may be true but panjeet will still shit on a street of gold

It anything, it is more likely to be China that'll become the superpower.

People don't often realize that it used to be European knockoffs of high quality Chinese products and processes.

The CCP and other things, dun goofed them right on up.

Von Neumann

Hutton - geology

DeBroglie is also cool af

How in the sandhill fuck has nobody said Euler? Fuck all of you on behalf of the one true god

Guys, this "who's your favourite science-celebrity" bullshit is fucking gay. You sound like 12-year-olds spitting out factoids you read on Wikipedia. The best of you are idiots, and the worst of you are pretentious little twats. I save these threads for my cringe folder.

*REMINDER
Calculus was already invented by Newton and Leibniz's time and they only independently discovered the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

Newton is credited with the aforementioned theorem, and while other, earlier mathematicians came close none recognized its significance or generalized it.
It is also singlehandedly the most important development in all of mathematics. Anyone who loves math will agree. Never in the history of math has there been a case where something reserved entirely for genius (like finding the area under a curve) was simplified such that anyone could do it easily like that of Calculus. It has impact in almost every scientific field and is solely responsible for the proliferation of specialists in such fields.

To say Newton is not the pre-eminent physicist and mathematician is to say that no post-Newton scientist is pre-eminent because they surely would not be so far advanced if not for Newton.
