Science

[ihatepop]

Sorry if any of you don't like science or don't regonise any of those above.
If you voted for 'others' please elaborate on who that person is.
Who knows? If this one is well received I might start an 'inventors'.

Of course, inventors are a little bit like scientists but instead they invent stuff.
If you want to chat about science do it here.

Cheers,

Has to be hubble for me. i had an Astro- mad physics teacher and has brain washed me into loving the observation of stars and galaxies, and to this I favour hubble for his genious in providing evidence for the motion of galxies etc etc etc.

At least he doesn't call the monster 'Frankenstein'.


Well, I have never met any of them. Einstein agreed with Russel on most point, but he didn't share the activism. Russel was put in jail  by the UK because he opposed WWI. Einstein also made the mistake of signing the partition for the creation of the nuclear bomb. Feynman, who worked on the Manhattan project, admitted the mistake. The momet it was clear that the Nazi's would never develop a bomb they didn't stop. Even after Germany was defeated.

Actually, the german nuclear project was a civillian project because they imagined it would only be finished after they had already won.

There is also a meeting between Bohr and Heisenberg. Heisenberg was Bohr's student and they had a strong relationship. Heisenberg was already working together with german scientists while Bohr still lived in occupied Denmark. Heisenberg visited Bohr. Bohr then fleed to London and was then asked to work on the Manhatten project.

During that meeting they must have known that their were on opposite sides and they each site would be trying to develop a nuclear bomb, something only they, and a few others, could imagine the destruction it would bring to the world.

There are some indications that Heisenberg intentionally miscalculated the critical mass, causing german scientists to think two tons, not 50 kg, of enriched uranium would be needed. This would have caused the germans to abandon the project alltogether. And then he met with Bohr to make clear to him, in disambigious language, that the german project was abandoned and that he should convince the British/Americans to do the same.

But this is speculation. What happened exactly is unclear. But it is fascinating allthogher. This really makes a good story. So an award-winning play was made called 'Copenhagen', the place of meeting. Rather making a Hollywood movie about the life of J.S.Bach, maybe they should pick up on this.


Newton claimed his biggest life achivement was to remain celibate. So maybe I should vote him

And of course many Hubble, thanks to him we have those awesome pictures 

I really don't know.

For me the older ones are honorable: Galilei, Kepler, Kopernikus.

you forgot benjamin franklin.  he's my favorite because he worked with electricity.

say, what can you tell us about tesla.  was he really wierd because he was a scientist or did science make him wierd?  is it true that he sort of foretold some stuff - or was it previous knowledge that was covered up by inquisitional thinking?

galileo really liked to draw.  i guess that the ones that kept notebooks are the ones that are remembered, right?  what if an ancient scientist was really good and didn't keep a notebook.  how sad is that?
