There have been many giants in the world of science, but it was Darwin who set us free.
Who is your favorite scientist of all time?
Dear Roy Roy,
Of all time...Ignaz Semmelweis (1818-1865), the Hungarian physician who tried to introduce antiseptic procedures. This was a time when childbed fever was common, and one out of three women who contracted it were dying. Semmelweis found that simple hand-washing in chlorinated lime would prevent all these deaths...deaths by contagion from the doctors' hands.
But germ theory was unknown then, and no one would listen. Semmelweis died age 47, a few days after commitment to an insane asylum and beaten by guards there.
Also, Nikola Tesla, Sir James Jeans, Erwin Schrödinger. Here is Semmelweis:* * *
For me, it's a toss up between Michio Kaku and Neil deGrasse Tyson. I could listen to either one for hours.
Albert Einstein
The Science Guy.
There are many! So hard to choose!
Tesla
Dr Frankenstein ! LOL
Tesla
Charles Robert Darwin.
There is one science and that is biology. There is one biolgy and that is evolutionary biology.
Stephen Hawking. I admire his work so much, it's just so amazing what he's discovered about the universe, and I think it's pretty awesome that he's been able to do all that considering the emotional strain that must be/have been on him.
John McCann and Bill nye the science guy :)
Bill Nye The Science Guy. BILL........BILL........BILL........BILL!!!
Hard to chose objectively, because there are so many; and each contribution gave great insight into the workings of natural reality.
But if there are any people here who are studying any of the sciences besides biology, rest assured that biology is only one of the sciences and its value lies in it's specific formal object.
Study the queen of the sciences---Philosophy---and you will learn what a formal object is.
Albert Einstien.
