I had a physicist friend who studied under Curie and personally knew all of the big name scientists of that time including Einstein, Teller, Bohr, Heisenberg, Feynman, Born, Dirac, Dyson, Compton, Pauling, etc, etc. His stories were facinating and very personal. Anyway, he said Bohr was the top dog because he was critical for all of the quantum physics that came after. He rated Bohr higher than Newton. Personally, I think Leonardo was the most well-rounded intelligent man of all ages.
I think I agree with that. Da Vinci overall, in almost every field of endeavor. And his personal accumulated notebooks that are free online are simply astounding.
Bohr, very very good. Probably yes, higher than Newton.
And I think Feynman is right up there with Bohr. If nothing else his stand on string hypothesis (I cannot call it a theory) gets him up there.
Does Born get any points for having Olivia Newton-John as a granddaughter?
