Marie Curie was not a giant in Physics.

I’m so sorry, but this article is simply silly.

Nothing is gained by an attempt to elevate someone above their rightful station.

In the 20th century many names come to mind when contemplating true genius, Bohr ,Einstein, Bohm, Schrodinger, Planck, Feynman, Turing et al.

Curie simply does NOT float to the top of this list.

Why so bitter?

>>Nothing is gained by an attempt to elevate someone above their rightful station.

Nothing is gained by trashing people who have accomplished much.

What is her “rightful station?”

"Marie Curie was not a giant in Physics."

"In the 20th century many names come to mind when contemplating true genius, Bohr ,Einstein, Bohm, Schrodinger, Planck, Feynman, Turing et al."

You are conflating theoretical physics with experimental physics. All your examples are theorists. BOTH Curies were exemplary EXPERIMENTAL physicists. If the guys who discovered the microwave background of the universe deserved the Nobel, the Curies certainly did.

And yes, she deserved the Nobel in chemistry as well.
