But Newton wasn't what you would consider a prodigy. That's what I admire of him. Of course, he had affinities for science, but it was his effort that took him where he is. Somehow, so much concentration reshaped his brain or something.
Tesla is what we call a practical genius. All the discoveries so far, he merged them together.

They're ideals. Things like friction affect them.
>>70918279
Lets be honest here. Most people named so far have pushed the field to new heights.
Da Vinci pushed multiple fields to new heights, he was a multi-discipline genius.
>>70926279
He waz well aware of friction.
Darwin was great too, we owe a lot to him
English people on a whole have contributed the most to science. Maxwell, Faraday, Newton are scientific beasts.
My physics professor said "Newton's work was revolutionary. It was as if the Earth was speaking to him." Probably true. Newtonian mechanics, calculus and differential equations were extremely important to European warfare.
I personally think the smartest person of all time is a Gauss or Euler.
Probably Gauss.
>>70926279
Newton dealt with friction.
His calculations are still incorrect.
>>70926254
Just because Newton's equations aren't precise, doesn't make them wrong
They simply work within certain limits and to a certain degree of accuracy
>>70926368
They are wrong.
They do not even correctly predict the movement of the solar system.
>>70926424
Doesn't matter if the can't predict the movement of the solar system. Someone with understanding of Newtonian physics and differential equations can understand how to fire a cannon ball towards a target over X feet and hit with unprecedented precision and this alone was enough for Europe to conquer the world. There was even a book commissioned on this very topic by both the British and the Prussians to understand the use of mathematics/physics in artillery.
>>70926424
Why? Because muh mercury meme? Today we still use Newton for many calculations in astronomy.

It is wrong. But so what? He put in place a system of mechanics that did not exist before. 4.01 may not be 4, but it is close to 4 and that in itself is worth huge credit. The effect of Newtonian mechanics changed everything while the influence of GE is quite limited outside GPS and our understanding of sciences. I am not claiming GE was not huge to the scientific world but the scientific world is not the only world that exists.

Taken straight from wikipedia, sources are all verified:
>Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci, more commonly Leonardo da Vinci or simply Leonardo (Italian: [leoˈnardo da (v)ˈvintʃi] ( listen); 15 April 1452 – 2 May 1519), was an Italian polymath whose areas of interest included invention, painting, sculpting, architecture, science, music, mathematics, engineering, literature, anatomy, geology, astronomy, botany, writing, history, and cartography. He has been variously called the father of paleontology, ichnology, and architecture, and is widely considered one of the greatest painters of all time.[1] Sometimes credited with the inventions of the parachute, helicopter and tank,[2][3][4] his genius epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal.
Tell me again why he was not revolutionary?

Von Neumann. Modern polymath so smart people who knew him thought he was another species.
>"I have sometimes wondered whether a brain like von Neumann's does not indicate a species superior to that of man", said Nobel Laureate Hans Bethe of Cornell University.
>I never could keep up with him".[145] Teller also said "von Neumann would carry on a conversation with my 3-year-old son, and the two of them would talk as equals, and I sometimes wondered if he used the same principle when he talked to the rest of us.
>Israel Halperin said: "Keeping up with him was ... impossible. The feeling was you were on a tricycle chasing a racing car.
>One of his remarkable abilities was his power of absolute recall. As far as I could tell, von Neumann was able on once reading a book or article to quote it back verbatim; moreover, he could do it years later without hesitation. He could also translate it at no diminution in speed from its original language into English. On one occasion I tested his ability by asking him to tell me how A Tale of Two Cities started. Whereupon, without any pause, he immediately began to recite the first chapter and continued until asked to stop after about ten or fifteen minutes."
I won't say Newton or Tesla cause thats pretty obvious.
But one man almost no one remembers.

Turing and Godel are both more famous than von Neumann.
And rightly so. Turing and Godel basically BTFO David Hilbert, the greatest mathematician of the age who was trying to figure out a formula to work out any problem, something they showed to be impossible. That is far more important to mathematics than anything von Neumann did.
Von Neumann is a bit of a meme. His intellect was outstanding, but his achievements, though numerous, are not god-tier like Turing, Godel, Einstein, etc.

I'm glad recognize this.
"I know that in or about 1943 or '44 von Neumann was well aware of the fundamental importance of Turing's paper of 1936… Von Neumann introduced me to that paper and at his urging I studied it with care. Many people have acclaimed von Neumann as the "father of the computer" (in a modern sense of the term) but I am sure that he would never have made that mistake himself. He might well be called the midwife, perhaps, but he firmly emphasized to me, and to others I am sure, that the fundamental conception is owing to Turing—..."

Yes, the development of the computer is an interesting read. There are many names and many different concepts, so it is difficult to see exactly when it came into being.
Von Neumann is the subject of another misnomer with regards to so-called "von Neumann architecture." The name implies the work of von Neumann, when it was actually work by Eckert and Mauchly (whom I credit with inventing the modern computer), whose group von Neumann later joined after they had theorized the computer architecture. The paper describing the work was circulated with von Neumann's name on it, so he got the credit. Very unfair to Eckert and Mauchly.
Von Neumann himself was said to be a really decent person, though, who never looked to take credit for things, so he probably didn't mean to usurp Eckert and Mauchly's fame.
If von Neumann had indeed invented the modern computer, I'd be okay with putting him up there with Turing or Godel, but I don't believe he did, as I have explained.

Nice dubs. Thanks for the names of Eckert and Mauchly.
I was not previously acquainted with them, but am currently reading into their work. I mostly studied theoretical mathematics but now am interested in applying mathematics to computer science and want to learn as much about the foundations as possible. These are the things that aren't true for the next 5 years but forever, and that is where it's strength lies.

He is extremely overrated, Tesla motors would not exist right now if the government didn't bail them out.
I still like him though
>>70918827
I'd have to say Newton as well. Modern science started with him.

Dude was a genius. And lucky. And a master of artillery, the newly minted 'king of battle'. Sure, artillery was around long before Napoleon, but he understood it's value better than anyone else, Used it to crush his enemies. To the guy saying he lost his army in Russia, yes, that happened. But it was a gamble. Just a gamble on a grand scale. He gambled early in his career in the Italian campaigns taking cannon over the mountains. He won that gamble and began his long career as master of continental Europe. Genius. Not the greatest of all time though. My vote goes to Obama. Baahahahahhaha

>English people on a whole have contributed the most to science
Funny, I see slightly but noticeably more German names in Physics/Math, with English being second and French third place.
>calculus and differential equations
Not to diminish Newton's outstanding achievemnts, but those were developed in parallel by Leibniz as well.
There was an extract from a scientific paper posted some time ago that stated that 90% of all contributions to science since the middle ages were made by Germany, England, France and Northern Italy (with the remaining 10% divided between the smaller European powers, most notably Russia and the Netherlands).

Bernhard Euler.
Obviously Marie Curie
>>70927337
He was very smart but not on a level with actual big players like Newton, Maxwell, Einstein, Gauß, Euler or prodigies like Poincaré.
Again, he was a respectable scientist but is blown up to meme status by contemporary pop culture for who-knows-what reason.
Nicholas Tesellsson, great British inventor and physicist.

join /sci/ to enjoy in troll-talk but find your gaps, fill them in with khan academy, coursera, textbooks, youtube videos etc and do lots and lots of practice problems. Look up courses see what they teach and learn that, then actually take those courses once you are self-taught in that area.Start by learning algebra (finding gcf, factoring, etc) and move up into learning basic logic and mathematical induction, move up the math-proof chain for there

his iq was estimated to be over 230 dude...
Da vinci came up with flying machines tanks and parachutes in the FUCKING MEDIEVAL AGES....he was a superhuman and will be the pinnacle of what it is to be "human"

>>70932733
maby because most people during his time were busy throwing their feces out of windows and believing in god for the mysteries of nature.
>first tank
>first helicopter
>first parachute
the list goes on....in the 1400 TO 1500's...as he even said himself
"I have offended god, and mankind because my work didn't reach the quality it should have"
Meaning he knew the technology at the time was only thing limiting him from profound, revolutionary discoveries.
His IQ was 230 dude he was superhuman, if he was put in any other time period he would have transcended.

That is why we need to fund education on a global level.
Maybe the key to space travel is trapped in the mind of a nigglet / ginger child / mini rice harvester who cannot afford education as for now.

I think we can all agree with this
>>70932390
There was a great story involving Tesla and the Tunguska event. It's just debatable how much is true and if it was just pure coincidence or not (although everything is factual up until funding is stopped). You've probably heard it, but I'm going to tell it anyway
>Tesla is working on a way of providing free electricity using radiowaves or something rather than expensive wiring
>((((JP Morgan)))) is the one backing him
>Experiments start working and he manages to control the electricity of a nearby town without the need for wiring
>((((JP Morgan)))) finds out that Tesla is actually trying to give people something for nothing
>Being a Jew and not playing into stereotypes he cuts funding immediately because there's no profit in it
>Leaving Tesla with a half finished project he knows can work but without backing he can't finish it
>No one will back him thanks to the money men then being the same as they are today (pure coincidence) and aren't interested in giving people something for nothing
>Tesla starts getting bitter and goes full Bobby Fisher mode (just not as openly)
>Starts act "erratically" because of this rejection and being unable to help people
>Personally contacts the American government and asks if they're interested in a "weapon that could end all war" (purely to finance himself and his wireless electricity)
>Write him off as a crank who's losing it
>Calls them back and tells them the weapon works (it wasn't intended to be used as a weapon but it can be used as one) and he'll prove it
>Tunguska event takes place less than a month later
Everything is completely verifiable. The only thing up for debate was whether it was coincidence that that took place after his correspondence and what he had said or if it is just some unexplained event that's had a million theories and none of which can be proven.

maybe you think that if ya st00pid :D

Strange noone said Lagrange. He is not only genius but also one of the most red pilled man of his time.

The AC Induction motor
That's it. That's the extent of what Nikola Tesla contributed to science and engineering. Everything else that he accomplished in his life, someone else did first or did better.
AC Current? He didn't invent it, he just popularized it.
Radio? He didn't invent it, he just experimented with it.
EM Waves? He didn't discover them, he just repeated experiments others had already done.
NEWTON INVENTED AN ENTIRELY NEW FIELD OF MATHEMATICS AS A PREREQUISITE TO INVENTING AN ENTIRELY NEW FIELD OF SCIENCE.

And the bronze statue was never finished. Da Vinci was dreamer with a bunch of half finished projects and some sketches that ignorant asses post on their facebook wall.
