Comments?
Did you notice there are more from the UK? Is it because it was the older yet advanced society in the world that also had the biggest microphone?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.That is a fine list - I'm sure that I could find fault with some and position, but why, they were all people with insight. Nice mental workout.

I would put Archimedes right before Newton, would take Steven Hawking off the list and put Dirac on the list. As to who should be first on the list I am not sure.

Where? I have him for relativity and rest energy. He was not considered a scientist?
@St-Sinner He only once used the scientific method, testing a hypothesis on the conduction of heat and he did not finish that test. He did do relativity but never tested it. His rest energy is mathematics, not physics. Those who say he was a scientist do not know what scientists must do: use the scientific method. Walter Isaacson’s biography takes Einstein from the throne on which others put him.
Einstein became more interested in infinities, which do not exist in nature. They exist only in mathematicians’ minds. My degree was in math and it is logic, not science.
