What is your favorite scientist? Why?

Galileo
hard times for scientists ,the other 3 never got tortured for their believings ;)

Tough choice, CotM...

I'll have to think about it.

Mine isn't listed. Charles Darwin. What a quack head. Completely Koo-Koo.

Thomas Edison isn't up there!!!!

Edison and Einstein.

i share a birthday with einstein :D

and darwin was not a scientist

Without Newton or Leibniz, a lot of things wouldn't be possible
today... so Sir Isaac Newton it is!

ooh you're right...that's why i dont like ANY scientist! all they did was give us more things to study about (i wrote me science exam today, so you can guess why i'm thinking like this...

darwin was not a scientist????!!!!!

are you joking?

Darwin was a theological naturalist :D Or a natural theologan..i forget the term. But one of those.

My favorite scientist? Carl Sagan, because he dedicated his life to science yes, but he also dedicated it to educating the average person about the wonders of science. Also, Michael Faraday, because he's related to me wayyyy back there, but he is.

then we may scratch galileo and newton too..

Marrie Currie!

darwin was a naturalist and galileo was a philosopher. not that they're not important and famous.

galileo wasn´t a scientist ?
he made some real breakthroughs in astronomy !

Lister or Fleming. Chloroform or Penicillin.

A. Einstein was great men and great scientist, too.

Dr. Jekyll, when he was sober.

It's a very tough choice indeed. I hate choosing one, so I'll just go ahead with two. How about Hawkings and Einstein. Both are equally great.
