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.EngineeringComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)EngineeringFilter Results31 entriesDisciplineAllElectromagnetism (1)Mathematics (3)Particle Physics (1)Physics (28)Thermodynamics (1)EraAll965 (1)1602 (1)1736 (1)1775 (1)1796 (1)1799 (1)1845 (1)1850 (1)1852 (1)1856 (1)1857 (1)1869 (2)1874 (1)1902 (1)1908 (1)1911 (1)1922 (1)1923 (1)1927 (1)1928 (1)1929 (2)1933 (1)1934 (1)1943 (2)1947 (1)1954 (1)1960 (1)1962 (1)NationalityAllAbbasid Caliphate (1)Austria (1)Austrian Empire (1)Bangladesh (1)China (2)France (5)German Empire (1)Germany (3)Hungary (1)Ireland (1)Israel (1)Italy (1)Japan (3)Kingdom of Italy (1)Kingdom of Prussia (1)Norway (1)Pakistan (1)Sweden (3)Switzerland (1)United Kingdom (3)United States (8)Weimar Republic (1)InstitutionAllAmerican Association for the Advancement of Science (1)American Physical Society (5)Bell Labs (2)CERN (1)Chinese Academy of Sciences (1)Collège de France (1)Columbia University (1)Ecole Polytechnique (3)Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (1)Max Planck Society (1)Nagoya University (1)National Academy of Sciences (3)Nobel Prize (3)Royal Society (1)University of Bonn (1)University of California, San Diego (1)University of California, Santa Barbara (1)University of Cambridge (1)University of Strasbourg (1)University of Würzburg (1)Weizmann Institute of Science (1)Yale University (1)In GroupAllAtomic, Molecular And Optical Physics (4)Classical And Theoretical Physicists Before 1900 (5)Classical And Theoretical Physicists Since 1950 (1)Classical And Theoretical Physicists, 1900 to 1949 (4)Condensed Matter Physics (6)Nuclear Physics (1)Other Physics (6)Particle And High-Energy Physics (1)Quantum Physics And Quantum Information (1)Thermodynamics And Statistical Mechanics (2)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 31André-Marie AmpèreEngineeringArthur AshkinEngineeringCalvin QuateEngineeringCarlo RubbiaEngineeringCharles K.
