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.MathematicsComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)MathematicsFilter Results33 entriesDisciplineAllAstronomy (1)Atomic Physics (1)Biology (1)Electromagnetism (2)Materials Science (1)Mathematics (9)Nuclear Physics (1)Physics (28)Solid-State Physics (1)Thermodynamics (1)EraAll965 (1)1602 (1)1608 (1)1629 (1)1635 (1)1642 (1)1775 (1)1779 (1)1789 (2)1803 (1)1822 (1)1837 (1)1850 (1)1853 (1)1862 (1)1882 (1)1887 (1)1888 (1)1891 (1)1892 (1)1899 (1)1901 (1)1902 (2)1909 (1)1918 (1)1923 (1)1929 (1)1931 (1)1941 (1)1944 (1)1951 (1)NationalityAllAbbasid Caliphate (1)Austria (1)France (2)Germany (5)Grand Duchy of Tuscany (1)Hungary (1)Ireland (1)Kingdom of Bavaria (2)Kingdom of Prussia (1)Netherlands (4)Norway (1)Russia (1)Switzerland (1)United Kingdom (8)United States (8)InstitutionAllAcademie des Sciences (1)American Physical Society (4)Collège de France (1)Copley Medal (2)Cornell University (1)Ecole Polytechnique (1)Humboldt University of Berlin (1)Indian Institute of Science (1)Institute for Advanced Study (2)King's College London (1)Leiden University (1)Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg (1)Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1)Max Planck Society (2)Moscow State University (1)National Academy of Sciences (4)Nobel Prize (1)Princeton University (1)Royal Society (6)University of Amsterdam (1)University of Bonn (1)University of Cambridge (1)University of Graz (1)University of Pisa (1)University of Vienna (1)University of Zurich (1)In GroupAllAstrophysics And Cosmology (1)Atomic, Molecular And Optical Physics (1)Classical And Theoretical Physicists Before 1900 (10)Classical And Theoretical Physicists Since 1950 (1)Classical And Theoretical Physicists, 1900 to 1949 (4)Condensed Matter Physics (4)Nuclear Physics (2)Particle And High-Energy Physics (2)Quantum Physics And Quantum Information (7)Thermodynamics And Statistical Mechanics (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 33André-Marie AmpèreMathematicsBertrand HalperinMathematicsChristiaan HuygensMathematicsChristian DopplerMathematicsEdward WittenMathematicsErwin SchrödingerMathematicsEugene WignerMathematicsEvangelista TorricelliMathematicsFreeman DysonMathematicsFrits ZernikeMathematicsGeorg OhmMathematicsGeorg Simon OhmMathematicsHendrik LorentzMathematicsIbn al-HaythamMathematicsIsaac NewtonMathematicsIvar GiaeverMathematicsJohann SchweiggerMathematicsJohannes Diderik van der WaalsMathematicsJohn Hasbrouck Van VleckMathematicsJulian SchwingerMathematicsLouis de BroglieMathematicsMax BornMathematicsMitchell FeigenbaumMathematicsNikolai BogolyubovMathematicsOliver HeavisideMathematicsOtto von GuerickeMathematicsPaul DiracMathematicsRobert HookeMathematicsRoger PenroseMathematicsRudolf ClausiusMathematicsWalther BotheMathematicsWerner HeisenbergMathematicsWilliam Henry BraggMathematicsComments (0)No comments yet.
