SiqueScarface Pinned by Flourishing Exams SiqueScarface 5 months ago More honorable mentions: Arnold Sommerfeld Emmy Noether Archimedes Johannes Kepler Ernst Abbe Heinrich Hertz Hermann von Helmholtz Denis Papin Henri Poincaré 17 Flourishing Exams And they were Roommates And they were Roommates 5 months ago number one for me is issac newton. the man was not only the best physicist, he was also one of the best mathematicians of all time. much of this list would not exist if Issac Newton did not publish his work. I wonder what he would think of quantum physics though😂 90 Flourishing Exams Physics With Salenkano Physics With Salenkano 4 months ago Newton and Einstein were like Pelé and Maradona. Pelé had and invented all skills while Maradona was a genius. I always choose Pelé ahead of Maradona. Similarly, Newton's understanding of physics is incomparable. He put a lot of had work and dedication to the study of Physics and succeeded in many areas. Einstein on the other hand was a genius and lived to correct some of Newton's ideas. So my take for number 1 spot is SIR ISAAC NEWTON. 12 Flourishing Exams Facce Bookk Facce Bookk 5 months ago Einstein knew, that is, he had the skills to collect data, which was a big job at the time. The first idea of relativity was published by Rudjer Boskovic. The concept was very well known to Einstein. And again, using mathematical tools invented by others, he shaped the existing theory and dead cold signed his name under . 7 Flourishing Exams Leo Leo 5 months ago Sir Isaac Newton is the greatest Physicist ever,without an iota of doubt. 36 Flourishing Exams Thomas Keating Thomas Keating 5 months ago Let's not forget John Bardeen, who got two Nobel prizes in physics (for the invention of the transistor, and the theory of superconductivity). 25 Flourishing Exams csvegso csvegso 5 months ago I fully agree. It is very hard do decide between Newton and Einstein. Both of them would deserve the 1st place from different reasons (foundations vs. human mind). However, Maxwell's 3rd place is unquestionable. 9 Flourishing Exams Prue Phillip Prue Phillip 5 months ago I would put Newton as number 1. The list is fairly subjective. There's this neat quote which I must paraphrase, 'There's great times when mediocre scientists do grand science. And there's mediocre times when great scientists can only do mediocre science.' 27 Flourishing Exams Vj Laxmanan Vj Laxmanan 5 months ago Definitely missed Murray Gell-Mann, who conceived the quark theory (1964)...and was also the sole winner of the Nobel Prize in 1969. 5 Flourishing Exams babu.m manickam babu.m manickam 5 months ago (edited) Issac Newton is called as father of all scientists, hence he should be in top of the top 10 list 15 Flourishing Exams Ben Reed Ben Reed 5 months ago There are so many deserving honorable mentions. We scientists truly stand upon the shoulders of giants. ❤️ 4 Flourishing Exams Luguet M Luguet M 5 months ago There are 2 greatest revolutionary scientific books in the human history: Euclide’s Geometry and Newton’s Principia. Newton should be the number 1. 22 Flourishing Exams aneesh banerjee aneesh banerjee 4 months ago Newton the greatest, and Pauli the smartest and perhaps the most feared! 😊 3 Flourishing Exams Christopher Cripps Christopher Cripps 11 hours ago Newton might've been lesser known today but for Edmund Halley (of the comet fame) who published some if Newton's work. Besides standing on the shoulders of giants, Newton was also Master of the Mint and lived dangerously as an early form of chemist (alchemy). Speedo Mars Speedo Mars 5 months ago You blew it. John von Neumann made major contributions to mathematics (foundations of mathematics, functional analysis, ergodic theory, group theory, representation theory, operator algebras, geometry, topology, and numerical analysis), physics (quantum mechanics, hydrodynamics, and quantum statistical mechanics), economics (game theory), computing (Von Neumann architecture, linear programming, self-replicating machines, stochastic computing), and statistics. He was a pioneer of the application of operator theory to quantum mechanics in the development of functional analysis, and a key figure in the development of game theory and the concepts of cellular automata, the universal constructor and the digital computer. He is also considered the father of the modern stored-program computing architecture in use today. 11 Flourishing Exams Dee CYRLYSON’S Dee CYRLYSON’S 5 months ago Am I the only one to have Boltzmann very high in his ranking? He is still the father of statistical physics 28 Flourishing Exams len margolin len margolin 5 months ago It is hard to argue with your top 3, though I would put Newton as #1. I would say Newton's realization that mathematics (calculus) could provide evolution equations for physics is the most important discovery of all. I criticize you for not even mentioning Boltzmann, who would be #4 on my list. Finally, I wish you had never mentioned Mach, one of the true villains of physics. Hounded Boltzmann to suicide and never made any substantial contributions. Why put Schrodinger above Born? Schrodinger not only didn't understand his equation, but rejected Born's correct interpretation. Just a question, you never mention von Neumann, either in your mathematics list nor your physics list. Doesn't he deserve some notice as one of most creative and diverse scientists of the 20th century. 11 Flourishing Exams Clifford Martin Clifford Martin 5 hours ago I think it is interesting that you don't give Rayleigh or Gibbs and honorable mention. Gibbs work on many things was impressive and Rayleigh's contributions, especially the mathematical methods of theoretical physics were important. abhijit samanta abhijit samanta 3 days ago Excellent informations not only to physicists,scientists,researchers and other interested persons but also to the present young generations.It would have been nice if little more discussions have been covered about their epoch making contributions Hamuli Majeshi Hamuli Majeshi 5 months ago Newton comes at the top of the list for me.... 11 Flourishing Exams Cary Miller Cary Miller 5 months ago When Albert Einstein was asked who the smartest person who ever lived was, he replied Isaac Newton. Newton's intelligence was so high it cannot be measured by standard methods. Off the scale. 16 Flourishing Exams Don R. Mueller, Ph.D. Don R. Mueller, Ph.D. 5 months ago Einstein would put Newton as #1. Newton had far less to work with than did Einstein. Newton created a form of math to help him with his physics. Einstein went to mathematicians to help him with his math. 11 Flourishing Exams Kevin T Kevin T 5 months ago It is hard not to put Newton #1 when he discoverer Calculus to solve the motion of planets. 12 Flourishing Exams Satish Gupta111 Satish Gupta111 5 months ago Sir Isaac Newton is greatest physicist of all time.at the age between 23 to 24 he discovered, Universal Theory of gravitation Principles of motion Invented backbone of physics called calculus Many laws of optics . He is youngest physicist ever born on this planet. 10 Flourishing Exams kos Cot kos Cot 5 months ago Great work !!! A true love for physics. Thank you ! 3 Flourishing Exams SoundzAlive1 SoundzAlive1 22 hours ago I agree with the list but it was a very difficult undertaking with some many heavyweights as shown in the honourable mentions by you and the readers. André in Sydney HJ S HJ S 5 months ago You should mention Emmy Noether, she discovered the relation between symmetry and conservation. 13 Flourishing Exams Srikanth Tupurani Srikanth Tupurani 4 months ago (edited) We should rate people based on the amount of work they did and the impact of their work on physics. It can so happen that there people much talented than newton but who were unlucky. Ramanujan is the best example. He is highly talented mathematician but he was not lucky. He had such an amazing combinatorial brain. He could handle such messy things in combinatorics. Undoubtedly when it comes to pure math talent he is above many great mathematicians. But we cannot place him above euler. I agree with your list. 1 Flourishing Exams Christopher Booth Christopher Booth 5 months ago I just watched your "Top Ten" on mathematics and then this. Very interesting and entertaining. Well done. Thank you. (I subscribed.) :-) 2 Flourishing Exams Fx Signal Fx Signal 5 months ago Enrico Fermi said: there are 3 types of Physicists, the ones who make some less important discoveries, the ones who make more important discoveries, than there are the geniuses like Galileo and Newton, so: Ettore Majorana was one of them 1 Flourishing Exams Larry Graham Larry Graham 5 months ago Thank you so very much. Every person mentioned in this is an inspiration to us all !!! But I can only wonder about all of the marvelous minds humanity did not allow to blossom into glorious greatness !!! 1 Flourishing Exams Carlos Useche Carlos Useche 5 months ago John Archibald Wheeler Known for Breit–Wheeler process Wheeler–DeWitt equation Popularizing the term "black hole" Nuclear fission Geometrodynamics General relativity Unified field theory Wheeler–Feynman absorber theory Wheeler's delayed choice experiment One-electron universe Geon S-matrix Quantum foam Coining the term "neutron moderator" Coining the term "superspace" Coining the term "wormhole" Lorentzian wormhole "It from bit" Participatory anthropic principle 3 Flourishing Exams anthony julianelle anthony julianelle 5 months ago Newton>Einstein. Newton was broaden than Einstein and his results were just as fundamental. 26 Flourishing Exams bhavy dugar bhavy dugar 5 months ago Don’t you think Feynman fell a little considering his theory of quantum electrodynamics was a revolutionary and he gave the Feynman path integrals and diagrams for decays and boson interactions which are better known as Feynman diagrams 5 Flourishing Exams Iftikhar Alikhan Iftikhar Alikhan 5 months ago (edited) Thanks. They did a lot of work for the better understanding of this world and our daily life. 2 Flourishing Exams Philip Robinson Philip Robinson 6 months ago To leave something behind is rare and takes a great mind. Most of us take a lifetime to to gain what has gone before. 9 Flourishing Exams Taha Ranjbar Taha Ranjbar 5 months ago Yes number one is newton. At that time was astonishing. 5 Flourishing Exams John-Polly Lynn John-Polly Lynn 5 months ago For honorable mention, how about Chien-Shiung Wu? Was she of Hong Kong or China? A children's book says that she did the work behind two or three Nobel prizes, work in nuclear physics. She is in 2021 on a U.S. stamp. 3 Flourishing Exams John Farmer John Farmer 5 months ago As Much as I like and respect Dr. Feyman I certainly would not put him ahead of any of the first five Physicists 4 Flourishing Exams Chol Yom Chol Yom 1 month ago Isaac Newton is greater than Albert Einstein. Einstein even acknowledges that 1 Flourishing Exams Yquem Yquem 5 months ago What an absolute pleasure to watch, thank you 6 Flourishing Exams Graham Black Graham Black 4 months ago Newton was the greatest. Not only the greatest theortician, but arguably the greatest experimentalist. He also invented the mathematics he needed out of thin air. Newton invented physics as we understand it, every physicist since walks in the shadow of Newton. You have to understand him in the context of his time, modern science didn't exist, people thought the planets were being moved by angels flapping their wings. He was the first to come up with the idea that all phenomena can be explained with a simple set of rules with universal applicibility. Einstein was great of course, but his early work was really just extending the ideas of Maxwell and Plank. General relativity is truly is original work but he needed help from mathematicians. Flourishing Exams Rob Johnston Rob Johnston 1 month ago (edited) Sir Isaac Newton is not only the greatest Physicist, but also the most important human being in all of history! Of course, Einstein was a huge intellect, but for the sheer breadth of his discoveries, Newton puts even Einstein in the shade! In "straight" physics: Laws of Motion, Law of Universal Gravitation, Fluid Dynamics, Law of Cooling, Rules of Optics, the Composition of White Light (making Spectroscopy possible!), "Newton's Rings" -- which lead to interference being used across dozens of fields! In astronomy: Discovery that, no matter how "perfectly" any lens was ground, the edges would ALWAYS "form a prism" thus distorting the image! Brilliant realisation that REFLECTION from a concave mirror could produce even better images WITHOUT distortion and no more heavy impractical lenses! Invention of the Reflecting Telescope (upon which ALL modern telescopes are based!), which enabled true images right out to the edge of the mirror! AND made telescopes of ANY diameter (theoretically) possible! In maths: Binomial Theorem, Rapid Formula for Pi, CALCULUS (20 YEARS BEFORE) its "co-discovery" by Leibnitz. As he recognised himself, his Law of Gravity WAS NOT the last word ... and, although Einstein replaced it with his General Relativity -- that TOO will have to be replaced or refined! SO ... for his contributions across Physics and Math AND Astronomy, Newton just cannot be beaten -- even by Albert Einstein! 1 Flourishing Exams Richard Lee Richard Lee 5 months ago A good list but I think Lord Rayleigh should be at least a honourable mention. 3 Flourishing Exams friendofbeaver friendofbeaver 5 months ago Murray Gell-Mann deserves an honorable mention! 2 Flourishing Exams Kenny Mabungo Banda Kenny Mabungo Banda 6 months ago Physics can either be experimental or theoretical 4 Flourishing Exams Wolfgang Neuhaus Wolfgang Neuhaus 5 months ago (edited) I miss Max Born, Enrico Fermi, Wolfgang Pauli and Weinberg under the top 10 2 Flourishing Exams Dead Pool Dead Pool 5 months ago Newton is Number 1 ! Respect Albert Einstein Also 9 Flourishing Exams Sander de Boer Sander de Boer 13 days ago Hendrik Lorentz? Hugely admired by Einstein and seen by him as his mentor. (Ah, I he is in the honorable mentions list) 1 Flourishing Exams Bruce Jackson Bruce Jackson 3 days ago Interesting BUT, when it comes to rankings, it is all a matter of preference. As a mathematical physicist, surely Dirac is ahead of Einstein by a proverbial mile ? For me, there is NO "primus inter pares" in those listed in the video clip -just as there is no all time #1 heavyweight boxer/operatic tenor/whatever & whoever. ltschriscrucker ltschriscrucker 5 months ago Excluding Landau is like excluding entire field of magnetism from physics.. 3 Flourishing Exams Mr35diamonds Mr35diamonds 5 months ago (edited) Certainly a matter of personal opinion. Lorentz, Prandtl, Lagrange, Gauss, Hamilton, Jacobi, Euler, Schlichting etc are among the most influential physicists to me, mainly because of what I study and research. Prandtl and Schlichting for their contribution to modern understanding of boundary layers, giving rise to CFD. Lagrange, Hamilton, and Jacobi for their influence in calc of variation for classical mechanics. Lorentz for Lorentz transformation and other useful things. 1 Flourishing Exams Timothy Webb Timothy Webb 5 months ago Wow what a great video. And the list of "Honourable Mentions" just first class, Well done. You could do a great video on each one. 2 Flourishing Exams Joseph Harder Joseph Harder 2 days ago (edited) Honorable Mention: Aristotle, Boscovich LeMaitre. Aristotle for actually INVENTING the discipline, in the first place,Boscovich for coming up with a LOT of ideas in astrophysics, many of which are still yet to be appreciated, and Lemaitre for The Big Bang. Flyby Airplane Flyby Airplane 5 months ago Outstanding content, bravo ! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 1 Flourishing Exams 13aBOC 13aBOC 5 months ago I don't really care about the list. They're all brilliant! Thank you for posting this. 3 Flourishing Exams Ken Ken 7 days ago I have to chime in with some of the others who would rank Newton as #1 with Einstein #2. Newton was a stronger mathematician than Einstein, therein is the difference between the two. taybouhari taybouhari 5 months ago You forgot to mention Kanye West, Jay Z and Snoop Dog. Their contributions to science are indisputable. 2 Flourishing Exams Pieter Geerkens Pieter Geerkens 5 months ago Where is Lagrange? Easily ahead of at least half this list. Euler was so impressed by Lagrange's ideas on mechanics that he dropped everything to expedite publication and formal proof of Lagrange's ideas. 1 Flourishing Exams Luigi de Alfaro Luigi de Alfaro 5 months ago I would put Stephen Hawking, Archimedes, Marie Curie and Kepler somewhere up there 5 Flourishing Exams Mahmood. S Mahmood. S 5 months ago Thank you ...but i think if your background is related to math or physics you will not consider issac newton as the second... yes of course Einstein is great physicist but nobody could be compared with newton , Einstein has been assisted by tons of mathematicians to complete his work which totally depends on the basis that have been created by newton 4 Flourishing Exams Suman Adhikary Suman Adhikary 5 months ago Newton starts running through gloomy jungle whereas Einstein jumps over pleasant road. 7 Flourishing Exams عاشق ایران عاشق ایران 5 months ago Ser isak nioton is the greatest human how has ever lived! He must be no 1. 3 Flourishing Exams Danilo Danilo 5 months ago My top 10 as a physics major: 10)Marie Curie 9)James Clerk Maxwell 8) Neils Bohr 7) Enrico Fermi 6)Paul Dirac 5)Richard Feynman 4)Michael Faraday 3)Albert Einstein 2)Galileo Galilei 1) Sir Isaac Newton Maxwell's work although revolutionary for his time, was largely based on Michael Faraday intuition, so I would put the latter a bit higher up on the list. Galileo Galilei must be higher on the list, as a big amount of Newton's work, like the first law of motion, orbits is based on Galilei's work, who was the first proper physicist. Max Planck made great contributions but failed to see the implications of his observations due to his orthodox point view, therefore cannot be at the same level of other giants and making to the top 10. Some physicists, like Enrico Fermi and Marie Curie are in my opinion largely underrated, while others are, although still giants, a bit overrated. 24 Flourishing Exams arnav lewin newton ramanujan albert arnav lewin newton ramanujan albert 5 months ago sir Nikola tesla was the true genius 2 Flourishing Exams zippy twelvefootboy zippy twelvefootboy 5 months ago Well done! For the Newton fanatics, have you considered flipping the script? I have no doubt that a 17th century Einstein would have cleaned up all of the kinematics, optics, etc.. stuff that Newton did, and probably wouldn't have indulged in the dark arts. He might have needed help (which came concurrently) with Calculus, and gravity is a tossup. On the other hand, would a 20th century Newton produce GR and equivalence principal? No doubt he would have solved photoelectric effect and Brownian motion (or similar Eureka breakthroughs). I think there's too many quantum pioneers, and it ought to be limited to Planck and one (possibly two) other. Once the field is established, someone will come up with the derivative results and theories. You want to credit who started the band, not the bandwagon, lol.. I think Shroedinger gets the nod, even if wave/particle duality came from without. I appreciate the Honorable Mention list, and need to research about a dozen names. I think an important addendum would be Stokes (or Navier, or both?) whose equation governs everything important in the physical world. After all, how many people have an equation in the Theory of Everything? 3 Flourishing Exams douglas yiu douglas yiu 5 months ago Don't forget to mention those great physicists in thermodynamics: Carnot, Joule, Thomas, Clausius, Gibbs and Nernst etc... 14 Flourishing Exams Mustafa Demir Mustafa Demir 5 months ago 1-Newton 2- Maxwell 3_ Einstein 8 Flourishing Exams Bob Bob 5 months ago How can Einstein be above Newton when Newton trumps him in terms of quantity of work, worked in more fields, revolutionalized the mathematical aspects of physics was not only a theorist but an inventor as well Flourishing Exams Craig Papadakis Craig Papadakis 5 months ago I think newton should be first Einstein when ask who's graetist scientific shoulder was Einstein said max plank also curie was the first person to win two Nobel prizes with all these men how hard do you think it was to achieve greatness India is knowed for it's mathematisians and phycists Michael faraday should have made the list 2 Flourishing Exams Francis Hunt Francis Hunt 6 days ago No mention of John Bardeen, the only person to win the Nobel Prize twice for Physics. Joe Marasco Joe Marasco 5 months ago Strange that the greatest physicist of antiquity, Archimedes, doesn't even rate an honorable mention. Discovering bouyancy alone should have qualified him, and yet he did so much more. Your list seems to imply that physics began with Galileo and Newton. Not true, not true. 15 Flourishing Exams KingdomOfHeavenEmbassy KingdomOfHeavenEmbassy 5 months ago Newton is number 1 no doubt. 14 Flourishing Exams Giorgi Meskhi Giorgi Meskhi 4 months ago einstein discovered things which was actual at his time,newton discovered things which noone could see at his time.newton should be 1st not only in physics but overall in sciense. Flourishing Exams Hanno Essén Hanno Essén 5 months ago Ridiculous to leave out Lev Davidovich Landau among the honorary mentions. And what about Kelvin? 6 Flourishing Exams Arturo Ortega Vega Arturo Ortega Vega 6 days ago Newton number two, really? He was the one who paved the way for the rest of the physicists in your list. He’s one of the greatest minds, if not the greatest, to ever lived. And yes, I’m a Newton simp. OFORI YAW Richard OFORI YAW Richard 6 months ago I love the video but putting Einstein above Newton is criminal offense 16 Flourishing Exams MadScientyst MadScientyst 5 months ago Astronomy, Alchemy > Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, Philosophy....only SIR Isaac Newton (1st Scientist to be knighted) explored, excelled & creatively linked so many of these Sciences together in some form or another (excerpt from his famous quote here: "....whilst the great ocean of truth lay undiscovered before me.').
