Histories greatest scienctists!

[Razgovory]

I'm a bit biased toward physicists so I argue for James Clerk Maxwell, and Sir Issac Newton.  Also Dmitri Mendeleev in Chemistry.  Most Brilliant living one might be James Watson who along with is now dead colleague did more then anyone to prove Evolution by Natural Selection by discovering the mechanisms behind it.  Completely arbitrary of course, and because I'm bored.

[The Brain]

Well obviously physicists are at the top of the pyramid.

[Eddie Teach]

Newton, for inventing or discovering gravity, the laws of motion, calculus, a telescope, some stuff about light, and the combination of fruit and cake.

[Jaron]

Alan Turing.

[The Brain]

I was gonna say we have to get some women in but close enough.

[Eddie Teach]

Raz, like the thread title but feel 'gratest , 'grateus' would have improved it.


edit:
I should add, I don't know enough about science to answer. 

Here is your answer:

[Martinus]

I was gonna say we have to get some women in but close enough.

Well, Newton and Leonardo were both fags, so no need to get in a few barbs about Turing.

[Eddie Teach]

Newton was a crazy religious celibate AFAIK.

[Josephus]

And the correct spelling of history's

They didn't enjoy his modern medical treatment.

Jesus turned water into wine, through processes not yet discovered by modern science. He must have been a hell of a chemist. Also he must have invented some crazy drugs based on the stories of his followers.

Honorable mentions:

-Han Solo, who made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs. Legions of nerds have pointed out that makes no sense, because parsecs are a unit of distance. What they fail to understand is Han Solo was a great scientist whose ship merged with space-time, equating distance and time. Also his ship could go light speed, which modern "scientists" can't figure out how to do.

-Geordi Laforge: Think the falcon was awesome for going light speed? This guy got his much bigger ship to go a multiple of light speed.

-The Jamaican Track Team Doctor: Logic says the fastest runners shouldn't all come from a shitty island in the Caribbean. Yet the Americans are the ones getting busted for drug use.

Disagree.  Sugar plantation slave labor was accelerated Darwinism.

Add some yeast and grape juice.

Why would working on a Jamaican plantation result in better sprinters, but apparently not American plantations?

Also, I don't think there is really an evidence slavery had the impact you describe.

  How is sprint performance being selected for with slavery on sugar plantations?  I'm not a farmer, but I'm pretty sure you don't harvest sugar beets by chasing them down and grabbing them.
