Who is your favourite scientist?


Any era will do...

Try to name only one, if possible!

I am not much of a scientist, but these characters are interesting.

Samuel_Warren_Carey Samuel_Warren_Carey


Arthur_Eddington Arthur_Eddington


and of course...

Albert_Einstein Albert_Einstein


And J.Marvin Herndon, just because I learned a few things from his theories. Interesting stuff.

And if I didn't mention him, I would feel guilty. Neal Adams, although he more like a visionary/advocate/artist.

My Dad, because he's part of the team working on nuclear fusion in one of the world's leading fusion research laboratories - go on Dad, make clean energy for tomorrow's power stations!

Nuclear is not "clean" at all... It is too risky, actually.

They're developing fusion as a major carbon-free energy source for the future.
