How many scientists can you name?

[Angilion]

It struck me while I was walking home from work that scientists are very rarely well known despite the profound effect they have had on humanity.

So...how many can you name solely from memory? Only 16 in my case.

Archimedes
Newton
Galilei
Hawking
Einstein
Darwin
Pasteur
Copernicus
Hippocrates
Schroedinger
Faraday
Planck
Curie
Hubble
Huygens
Feynman
Oppenheimer
Fleming

Without putting too much thought into it. I'm reading A Brief History of Time at the moment, so that's 2 or 3 higher than normal.

Quite a few of those just didn't come to mind until I saw them in your list. Here's mine, for comparison:

Einstein
Newton
Marie Curie
Pierre Curie
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Crick
Watson
Mary Somerville
Hawking
Roger Bacon
Archimedes
Chandraskar
Brian Cox
Eratosthenes
Rutherford
Hero

I'd probably get to about 15 or so before starting to struggle which is really a shockingly low number considering what scientists have done in advancing human knowledge.

That was what I thought, although reading posts from other people showed me that my initial limit of 16 was only a temporary failure of memory because I knew almost all the names.

I'm going to try it at work next week. I think most replies will be along the lines of "Einstein" and "that man in a wheelchair, what's his name?" and that's it.
