No he created AC which is much more efficient than DC. He also made an earthquake machine thing. If you want go onto a site called badassoftheweek and look him up. Your respect will rise for him.

Your PC would die a horrible death if you tried to run it on AC though

My PC's input was AC last time I looked. :huh:

Okay, the electronics are a different story, but I imagine they'd just do nothing interesting with an AC current, at least not unless it was the full 240 volts of mains supply.

Does C.S. Lewis count?

» Sat May 12, 2012 6:50 pm

Darwin.

» Sun May 13, 2012 3:47 am

Gene Ray.

No but seriously probably Darwin. Tesla and Sagan are good picks too.

Something about astrochickens.

Dr. Bruce Banner

Okay, seriously though, I don't know if he really counts as a scientist, but Dr. Jonas Salk. He probably did one of the most honorable things in history.

Does Gordon Freeman count?

For being the scientist of kicking butt?

Hands down, Tesla. He was crazy, brilliant, and mysterious. What a guy.. what a guy...

Dr. Thaddeus S. "Rusty" Venture. He's a super-scientist!

» Sat May 12, 2012 11:03 pm

Tesla. He was a bit on edge but nonetheless a brilliant man. Next would be Charles Darwin. He wasn't a scientist per se but he did make one of the biggest contributions to science ever so I think he counts.

I thought that was Swann. Edison was more the Bill Gates of his day rather than an actual inventor.

Bill Gates isn't as much of a dike.

Bill Gates isn't as much of a dike.

Bill Gates isn't really a dike though. He gives a godly amount of money to charity. Just reminds you of how rich he is.

Newton probably and Einstein.

» Sun May 13, 2012 4:22 am

Current? Err...Richard Dawkins and Brian Cox.

All time though? Newton, Einstein and Kepler.

I love these big mans but still i cant choose

Screw Tesla, he's more myth than man nowadays. The stories about him are more embellishing than factual, and most people lose sight of who the man really was because of all the fictional stories that've been built around him.

Now http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Feynman, he's a man who lives up to the stories. If you want a real life man of genius, who was also quite the ladies man, then he's your ticket. Working on the creation of the H-bomb by day, hitting on the ladies of Los Alamos by night. While he also worked an angle in the theory of Quantum Electrodynamics, that's rather cool too.

Charles Darwin
Thomas Huxley

I'm no fan of Dawkins, though.

» Sun May 13, 2012 1:10 am

Science is 95% stealing other people's ideas. The other 5% consists of lab rats and explosions

That's great! Can I sig that?

Anywho, I have too many, so I'll give five:
(in no particular order)
Brian Green
Stephen Hawking
Enstein
Tesla
Me :banana:

» Sun May 13, 2012 1:10 am

It's settled then
1.Bill Nye
2.Gordon Freeman
3.The cast of the Big Bang Theory

Tesla for sure, and I have a lot of respect for Jonas Salk for creating the polio vaccine.

Carl Sagan
