OK /sci/

who did i miss?

>> No.6320726

You are missing a bunch of math fellas

>> No.6320734

Hilbert, Turing, and many many more. Once you go to university you will find that textbook references are full of people who have significantly contributed to the field, but nobody has ever heard of them.

>> No.6320739

You've got grace hopper but no Turing?

R. A Fisher - this guys reputation is rather enormous.
>Anders Hald called him "a genius who almost single-handedly created the foundations for modern statistical science",[3] while Richard Dawkins named him "the greatest biologist since Darwin".[4]

And if Langrage is on there, perhaps W R Hamilton should be, too, for Hamiltonian Mechanics.

>> No.6320795

Oh and you may want Jenner on there, perhaps instead of Salk, given that Jenner invented the vaccine.

>> No.6320798

This is one of the great things about reading textbooks. They often go into the history of science and you hear all of these names of great people who have been since mostly forgotten.

>> No.6320839

Turing? Galois? Shanon?
You miss a lot of people. Seems like you almost only focus on physics and medicine discoveries.

>> No.6320845

You could have some ancient scientists, namely Imhotep and Archimedes.

You have electromagnetism for Gauss
For Hess, you have plate tectonics. You should have Germain Hess who formulated Hess´s law which led to the first law of thermodynamics.
Robert Boyle did not formulate Boyle´s law, or contribute anything to science. He stole it.

I say Rosalind Franklin and Fritz Haber should be in there as well. Alphabetizing i would be great or arranging it based on disciplines

Missing a lot of mathematicians, and some of those you put did bigger contributions to mathematics than to physics

Ptolemy goes before Copernicus. Just because geocentric was wrong doesn't mean his mechanics were insignificant. Plus I think you should define what kind of breakthroughs you're going for. It seems kind of arbitrary. Maybe break it up into fields or separate out math or do give technology its own image.
