Wikipedia notes that Thales "was arguably the first scientist for describing how cosmic events may be seen as natural, not necessarily caused by gods," a single insight that defines his legacy above all else. Browsing this way collects every scientist remembered chiefly for the same field.ChemistryComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)ChemistryFilter Results27 entriesDisciplineAllAtomic Physics (1)Biology (1)Chemistry (7)Materials Science (2)Mathematics (1)Nuclear Physics (1)Physics (24)Thermodynamics (1)EraAll1627 (1)1635 (1)1745 (1)1775 (1)1777 (1)1779 (1)1791 (1)1818 (1)1837 (1)1852 (1)1862 (1)1867 (1)1869 (1)1870 (1)1877 (1)1888 (2)1890 (1)1891 (1)1900 (2)1904 (1)1906 (1)1907 (1)1914 (1)1939 (1)1943 (1)NationalityAllAustria (1)Denmark (1)Duchy of Milan (1)France (4)Germany (5)Ireland (3)Japan (1)Netherlands (2)Sweden (1)Switzerland (2)United Kingdom (7)United States (7)InstitutionAllAmerican Physical Society (4)Brookhaven National Laboratory (1)Cavendish Laboratory (1)Collège de France (1)Copley Medal (1)Curie Institute (1)Ecole Polytechnique (2)Institute for Advanced Study (1)Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg (1)Max Planck Society (1)National Academy of Sciences (2)Nobel Prize (4)Royal Institution (1)Royal Society (4)Trinity College, Cambridge (1)University of Amsterdam (1)University of Bristol (1)University of Copenhagen (1)University of Pavia (1)University of Zurich (1)In GroupAllClassical And Theoretical Physicists Before 1900 (6)Classical And Theoretical Physicists Since 1950 (1)Classical And Theoretical Physicists, 1900 to 1949 (8)Condensed Matter Physics (2)Nuclear Physics (3)Other Physics (3)Quantum Physics And Quantum Information (3)Thermodynamics And Statistical Mechanics (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 27Alessandro VoltaChemistryAndré-Marie AmpèreChemistryEdwin McMillanChemistryFrancis AstonChemistryFrits ZernikeChemistryFritz LondonChemistryGustaf DalénChemistryHans Christian OrstedChemistryHenri BecquerelChemistryJ.
