Why is Einstein more fawned-over than this superior genius? Is it because he had more hair?

[Anonymous No.8534697]

Einstein invented more important stuff

Because he was a media darling, besides, whilst John was very intelligent, he didn't actually give us any major breakthroughs.

[Anonymous No.8534747]

>>8534742
>Not one major breakthrough.
What a waste of a great autistic mind.

[Anonymous No.8534752]

>>8534744

The Von Neumann computer architecture wasn't a major breakthrough?

[Anonymous No.8534761]

>>8534752
It wasn't.

[Anonymous No.8534762]

>>8534752
His biggest contribution to that project was his name on it.

[Anonymous No.8534766]

>>8534752

What's the big deal with it? A lot of it's obvious.

[Anonymous No.8534774]

You left out his most important invention: bubble sort algorithm.

Even my granny recognizes E = mc 2, but surely nothing from that list.

A lot of that list is low lying fruit. Monte Carlo method? Who hasn't "invented" that?

Even the Turing machine is more famous than that.

[Anonymous No.8534850]

he wasn't fundamental in the development of quantum mechanics and Relativity, the greatest revolutions in physics. Einstein was

[Anonymous No.8534866]

Lots of unbelievable stupidity in this thread. Von Neumann by far in the top 10 scientists of the 20th century for his many achievements in particular application of operator theory to quantum mechanics and von neumann architecture. Relativity was a more important single achievement and Einstein was more popular in mainstream media, but that doesnt discredit what Von Neumann did.

Woah so fucking useful he truly changed the world

[Anonymous No.8536009]

>>8534791
Yes. He also invented Von Neumann Squats and Oats Theory. Better thank him for those gains brah

He didn't invent the Von Neumann Architecture tho....
