The Scientists I admire include:
Michael Faraday - trying to make people at the Worlds Fair understand what was so exciting about his experiment, is priceless!!!;
Tesla - what a genius!!! Walking thru the park one day, invisions polyphase AC systems, equipment working from them, plus single phase "taps" driving simple circuits (cut off to eliminate 10K work reply!);
Marconi - even if he "borrowed" from tesla, still pioneered radio;
Ohm, Kirchoff, Maxwell, Volta, Lenz, Watt, Bell, Ampere', the class "playing" with the Leyden Jar, and in a small bit - even good 'ol Tommy A Edison!
So many Scientists to list!!!
Also, these dudes need to be mentioned (excuse the spelling!):
Copernicus, Gallileo Gallelli, Tico Brahve, Johannus Kessler, Isaac Newton, Einstein, The Curries (Sp?), Fermi and all the others involved with Atomic Theories, Max Plak (The Quantum Mechanics guy), and all the other men and women who were bold enough, passionate enough and curious enough to bring the Sciences into our everyday lives (or into the depths of the tech books!).
Scott s.e.t.
