Hello /sci/
Highschoolfag here, BUT NOT TO ASK A MATH QUESTION

I'm here to ask a question about science...

Is there any Hispanic scientist or mathematician, which has discovered something important? Google is no help, showing me only hispanics that are good at there respective fields, but not anything spectacular. I'm not trolling seriously these teachers have screwed me.

Please Help!

Miguel Alcubierre (proved warp drives can exist) was Mexican.
I realize that's not the same though...

Hey your more knowledgeable than I am, you're winning at this so far.

I would say that constructing a theoretical model of how a warp drive would work counts just as much as Einstein's theoretical models of Relativity.

danm it i missed the first "you're"

go to an ivy league tier university, search their science departments until you find someone with a hispanic name.

there are a lot of hispanic people in science, just none who have been over hyped by the media

hell there are so many white geniuses in science that you never hear about because even though their discoveries are important, they're not breakthrough amazing or comprehensible to the average person- also, they're not pop sci hosts like tyson or cox

Ok, thanks for the suggestion. I'll report back if I find anyone notable.

Well there aren't any famous ones if that's what you're asking

After some hard research (searching lists of alumni int he ivy league on Wikipedia, ^ha ha^)
I've one and exactly ONE physicist how fits the bill.

Juan Martín Maldacena,
Plenty of poets and others like that thou.

Solution is valid. Just needs the energy of ten thousand suns.

Miguel Alcubierre it is then.

Christ! its going to be a pain explaining his theories to my dumb-ass classmates... did I mention we have to give a lecture with our report.

Just tell them the guy proved that warp drive like that in movies is possible. Make it familiar to them.

Just make a lot of star trek references

Works for me. I'm already the class nerd, so they won't be that surprised.
Anyway thanks guys, now I can get started and it actually is a physics class so I think it'll roll in nicely.

This whole "Hispanic scientist" thing is because of hispanic heritage month. I'll probably have to do the same in February, when that comes i will do the easy thing and go for George Washington carver and the fact that he didn't invent peanut butter.
