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.

 

[Viper²]

Oh.

 

[Gilly]

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.

Einstein
Newton
Marie Curie
Pierre Curie
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Crick
Watson

Hawking
Roger Bacon
Archimedes
Chandraskar
Brian Cox
Eratosthenes

I could go on but its quite late now...

 

[iNPUt]

keen..

 

[Barbie]

Gorden Freeman

 

[Domo]

I'd like to add Craig Venter

 

[Destination]

heh, start with measurements, mr watt, mr volt, mr amp, mr newton, mr joule, mr pascal, etc.

 

[manic111]

Have shut my eyes to the bottom of this thread so as not to see anyone else's answers.

Newton
Einstein
Lavoisier
Crick
Watson
Hawking
Watt
Gallileo
Euler (mathematicians count, right?)
Archimedes
Dawkins
Darwin
Edison
Medeleeyev
Pasteur
Boyle
Brown (of Brownian motion fame)
Curie

And I'm stuck

 

[Tunney]

Famous scientists or do some of my friends count?

If I was to be pedantic, I'd point out that people like Archimedes weren't scientists. Scientific methodology wasn't invented until Newton's time so anyone who came before that is really a natural philosopher.

 

[tigerstyle]

all of them

 

[Jono8]

Jeff Goldblum

 

[reflux]

Volta
Tesla
Newton
Einstein
Faraday
Hawking
Penrose
Pasteur
