favorite scientists

[cptdeath]

i like luis pasteur. I have often stated he was my favorite. I was the only guy on the budweiser tour that new luiy not only created the pasturization prosses but was responsable for the discovery that micro- organisms were the couse of illnes. he then went on to create the vaccine. curing anthrax cholera and making the most significant advancemeant in medical technology of all time. Not to mention the greatest inovation in getting drunk next to refrigeration, Pasturization. His face is on the wall in saint luis right next to anheiser bush in the halls of the budweiser factory. Did you know the discovery of bread was an accidental byproduct of early bear production. did you know ale with a low alchohal was used in place of water in mideavil times as water made folks sick (bacteria yet undiscovered).

the scientific mind is to be reveared. who is responsable for the discoveries you appreciate.

I like carver too. a botonist. a doctor AA Brill, student of sigmond freud who didn't spend 20 years addicted to cocaine, Brill spent his entire life helping any case that did not fall into normal external medicine from 1860 to 1930.

i like tesla alot too. but i have been saying luis pasteur is my favorite for years.

Galileo is up there, just do to the fact that he wrote so that other people could understand, fluidly, like a astronomy in sonata form, just fucking beautiful.

Newton, though I also want to kick him in the ass for just the opposite of why I love Galileo, he wrote so that only scholars could understand, not really wishing to "share it" with "common" people. But the man was a genius.

Huygens-for proving Newton wrong (sort of LOL).
