Here's a suggestion, given the fact nobody is going to agree with the Biography Online list.
Create and post your ordered list of the Top Fifteen Scientists of All Time.
How many liberal climate scientists with leaked Emails of their falsifying data regarding their research on that list?
Beg pardon, but “climate scientist” is an oxymoron.
I would certainly rate Maxwell above Tesla and probably above most of the others.
No Leonardo da Vinci? No Thomas Edison? No Copernicus?
Where’s the peanut butter guy? Carver. When I was in school, it was pretty clear that he was almost exactly like God Almighty himself, only better. This list is bogus.
Which three scientists would you remove from the list to include da Vinci, Edison, and Copernicus?
Copernicus should be there, maybe instead of Tesla. I think Tesla, Edison and da Vinci were more along the lines of great inventors who took the knowledge of the great scientists and applied it to practical uses.
George Washington Carver did not invent peanut butter. He developed a lot of other uses for the peanut, but don’t give him credit for your PB&J.
Well, considering that human life would simply not be possible without him (at least that’s what they told us in school), giving him credit for Skippy is the least we owe the man.

If a white person had invented peanut butter, would his name be known to every school child?
Where is Hippocrates, the father of Western Medicine?
HA! Those were the exact 3 that I wondered about...! Also the dude who came up with the Zero.
Before 1900 90% of deaths were caused by infectious diseases. Now it is less than 10%. Some credit is due to Sir
Alexander Fleming.
I would certainly rate Maxwell above Tesla and probably above most of the others.
+++++++++++
Me too. Tesla was a bright guy but more engineer than scientist.
“Also the dude who came up with the Zero.”
Why? That guy invented nothing!
I knew a physicist who actually worked with Curie. He wasn’t that impressed with her. He spoke highly of Bohr though.
My nomination would be Philo T. Farnsworth.
Too many crackers on this list!
