In another two or three hundred years, Einstein is going to look a lot more important, I think

I dunno.  I have a hard time putting ANY scientist on to such a list.  Science is simply fact...

If Einstein wasn't there... there would be another Einstein, it may not of happened right away, but it would of happened. 

Science is a real thing that will be discovered, and more often then not when someone makes the discovery... they are usually just a half a step infront of other people.

It's not like something like FDR or Ghengis Khan who made decisions that the next guy in line most surely wouldn't have made had they not been around.


Science is always there to be discovered... a leader who makes a crucial decision, in a crucial point in time... that's a unique moment that can never come again.
