as for the poll....The two are very hard to compare. Feynman and Einstien seem to be on the same level in my mind with one exception. Feynman had the ability to take a very hard subject and break it down so that anyone could understand.

I really enjoy listening to Feynmans audio lectures.

His Los Alamos From Below lecture at Cal-Tech was re-released on remastered CD with his new book! It sounds so much better than the old audio cassette tapes!

His model of the atom sucked. He's the reason people think electrons are tiny little balls spinning in an orbit around a nucleus.

That and the whole conservation of energy thing are terrible lies they need to stop teaching in high school.

I'll second this opinion as well...

Up for my chat thread plugging this forum!

 

[needtogetaas]

I'm sick of reading about karma-whoring people complaining that their virtual green dots might not procreate as fast as before.

So in that vain, this is a karma award thread. Feel free to post anything personal-chat related, science related, or just say "hi". I will award these points to whoever I think makes the biggest contribution to this board [in general, not in this thread]. If it is a tossup, I will award the multiple parties equally.

you are.

hi samoth....

einstein is cool by the way !

 

[heatherrae]

I had to vote for Feynman, but to be honest, I voted for him because he was quite the character. I'm really not sure who was the bigger contributor to science. I have a degree in Chemistry, but that was many moons ago, and I think that they brainwashed me in law school to forget any memory of the sciences...lol.
