Your favorite scientist...

[mcZu]

Who are your favorite scientists? And why?

Mine are:

Paul Ekman: Paul Ekman has been a pioneer in the study of emotions and their relation to facial expressions. He has been considered one of the 100 most eminent psychologists of the twentieth century.

Al-Khwārizmī: His systematic approach to solving linear and quadratic equations led to algebra.

Ibn al-Nafis: A physician who was the first to describe the pulmonary circulation and the capillary and coronary circulations, which form the basis of the circulatory system, for which he is considered the father of circulatory physiology. He also discovered the concept of metabolism and discredited many of the erroneous doctrines upheld by Galen and Avicenna in anatomy, physiology and psychology.

Avicenna/Ibn Sīnā: Was a polymath and the foremost physician and philosopher of his time. He was also an astronomer, chemist, geologist, psychologist, scholar, theologian, logician, paleontologist, mathematician, teacher, physicist, poet, and scientist.

Al-Zahrawi: He is considered the "father Of surgery". His greatest contribution to history is Al-Tasrif, a thirty-volume collection of medical practice.

I seriously look up to this people, all of them are dead except for Paul Ekman, but in my opinion they are one of the best scientists to ever grace this planet.

Carl Sagan is definitely my favorite. Became an instant fan after seeing him explain the dimensions, I was simply mindblown.

Not a real favourite but i think josef mengele was interesting.

Henry Cavendish

In the course of a long life Cavendish made a string of signal discoveries—among much else he was the first person to isolate hydrogen and the first to combine hydrogen and oxygen to form water—but almost nothing he did was entirely divorced from strangeness. To the continuing exasperation of his fellow scientists, he often alluded in published work to the results of contingent experiments that he had not told anyone about. In his secretiveness he didn’t merely resemble Newton, but actively exceeded him. His experiments with electrical conductivity were a century ahead of their time, but unfortunately remained undiscovered until that century had passed. Indeed the greater part of what he did wasn’t known until the late nineteenth century when the Cambridge physicist James Clerk Maxwell took on the task of editing Cavendish’s papers, by which time credit had nearly always been given to others.
Among much else, and without telling anyone, Cavendish discovered or anticipated the law of the conservation of energy, Ohm’s law, Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures, Richter’s Law of Reciprocal Proportions, Charles’s Law of Gases, and the principles of electrical conductivity. That’s just some of it. According to the science historian J. G. Crowther, he also foreshadowed “the work of Kelvin and G. H. Darwin on the effect of tidal friction on slowing the rotation of the earth, and Larmor’s discovery, published in 1915, on the effect of local atmospheric cooling . . . the work of Pickering on freezing mixtures, and some of the work of Rooseboom on heterogeneous equilibria.” Finally, he left clues that led directly to the discovery of the group of elements known as the noble gases, some of which are so elusive that the last of them wasn’t found until 1962.

I read a book on the string theory. I support this choice ^ lol.

Stephen Hawkins

Who the fuck is Stephen HAWKINS?

Anyway, Edward Witten.

Witten is a leading researcher in superstring theory, a theory of quantum gravity, supersymmetric quantum field theories and other areas of mathematical physics. He is regarded by many of his peers as one of the greatest living physicists, perhaps even a successor to Albert Einstein.
