>Isaac Newton is to Newtonian Mechanics***

Classical Mechanics is a far more sophisticated theory then just what Newtown did.

>>8474417
Newton mattered much more than Einstein did.

Newton personally invented ridiculous amounts of math and science. He performed experiments with his own hands and eyes. He pushed things ahead by decades if not centuries.

Einstein was more of a collator. He did no experiments but was an extremely social person who talked constantly with other scientists working on the same problems. He rose to fame by rushing to publish neatly-summarized ideas without citation or attribution. By his own admission his mathematical background was limited and he took vague ideas around to other physicists and mathematicians to develop them into workable theories. If he had never lived, it's unlikely that the progress of science would have lagged by even a month.

QM is more of a group effort than the other two, so it's really hard to give all the credit to one person.

If there's one person who deserves it though, it's Erwin Schrodinger.

William Rowan Hamilton

>>8474722
The way I've heard it, Schrödiner was a minor part of the puzzle. He came up with the equation from some pretty elementary manipulations, and was kind of a fluke.

>>8474417
Albert Einstein, Max Plank, Erwin Schrodinger, Niels Bohr, Paul Dirac etc. It has many fathers.

>>8474892
This is the correct answer. There were a number of experiments just after the turn of the 20th century that were elucidating certain aspects of quantum mechanics. All of these dudes literally got together at a series of conferences over the years and hashed this stuff out debate-style.

He didn't really pioneer it or invent it. He just published first FFS.

He's no Gisha Pelerman or anyone who ever contributed to human knowledge.

...which is probably why it's so conceptually incoherent: QM is a product of design-by-committee.

Maybe Heisenberg or Planck or Bohr. I'm really not qualified enough to say.

Brian Cox. Newton and Einstein were just as much presenters as they were scientists.

Yes this. Prolly same with Maxwell. Icons are needed to concentrate knowledge and focus enthusiasm. Usually chosen to reinforce flows of money, the social ladder or cultural magnetism.

Eggs are slightly undercooked and has no seasoning, beans are ruining the texture of the meal in addition to overpowering half the plate, hash-browns looked frozen at one point in time, mushy tomatoes clash with the palate, breakfast sausage instead of chorizo or italian, sinewy ham that looks straight from walmart, breasts necessarily marked and underdone. 1/10 would not eat

Isaac Newton is overrated.

He seems to be famous only in USA as a pop culture character.

Is it because it's the only english famous scientist ?

Yes but they are hardcore scientists, you don't learn about them when you are very young.

I think this is the reason of the success of Newton. This and " le funny apple on la head ".

>>8474417
Shrödinger. Sure, he might not have been the most instrumental in understanding and interpreting everything, but the came up with the goddamn wave equation, which is the closest to the other two examples.

>>8477220
Newton is by no means "overrated"

You're fucking joking right? Schrodinger made up one equation based on ad hoc energy relations and got lucky that it worked out. He then quit physics because the interpretations/results of quantum physics were too much for his brainlet mind.

Furthermore, the Schrodinger picture and wave mechanics in general are honestly the most misleading formulations of QM, arguably even more misleading than Feynman's path integrals.

It really was a group effort, through and through. If you want to really thank one person, thank von Neumann for putting the physics into a useful, generalized, and rigorous formalism. In classical mechanics, you can get by on poorly defined mathematical structures because of "muh intuition." In quantum theory, you can't get away with that shit. Thank god von Neumann lived to fix that shit.
