Hello forum members,


During the past century, there have been numerous astronomers and scientists who have contributed not only to their field of specialty but gone beyond it and have demonstrated extraordinary powers of insight and scientific prowess. As an impromptu poll and general question:

Who do you feel that person might be (dead or alive)?

I am excluding Einstein because he has (for the most part) achieved a God-like status with most people?



However, I am personally split between five scientists:

Pauling
Bohr
Dr. Weinberg
Feynman
Madame Curie

Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
