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.PhysicsComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)PhysicsFilter Results33 entriesDisciplineAllParticle Physics (1)Physics (23)EraAll1706 (1)1805 (1)1850 (1)1858 (1)1859 (1)1871 (1)1878 (1)1879 (1)1882 (2)1885 (1)1894 (1)1898 (1)1903 (1)1904 (1)1905 (1)1906 (2)1907 (1)1912 (2)1914 (1)1915 (1)1918 (1)1921 (2)1926 (1)1930 (1)1933 (1)1947 (1)1952 (1)InstitutionAllCavendish Laboratory (1)Institute for Advanced Study (1)Max Planck Society (1)In GroupAllAtomic, Molecular And Optical Physics (4)Classical And Theoretical Physicists Before 1900 (2)Classical And Theoretical Physicists Since 1950 (3)Classical And Theoretical Physicists, 1900 to 1949 (5)Condensed Matter Physics (3)Nuclear Physics (7)Other Physics (1)Particle And High-Energy Physics (4)Quantum Physics And Quantum Information (4)NationalityAllAustria (1)Ireland (1)United States (7)BrowseCompareSelect all 33Albert EinsteinPhysicsArthur SchawlowPhysicsChien-Shiung WuPhysicsConyers HerringPhysicsDonald GlaserPhysicsEdward Mills PurcellPhysicsEmilie du ChateletPhysicsErnest RutherfordPhysicsErnst RuskaPhysicsErwin HahnPhysicsFelix BlochPhysicsFrederick ReinesPhysicsGerd BinnigPhysicsHans BethePhysicsHans GeigerPhysicsHeinrich RohrerPhysicsHugh Everett IIIPhysicsIgor KurchatovPhysicsIsidor Isaac RabiPhysicsJames FranckPhysicsJames P.
