RE: Rank the top best scientists of all time. Of all time. [so far]

I am not sure what is meant by "best" scientist. The nicest one to have as tutor?

As far as the most influential scientist, I will nominate the following:

1. Physics: Newton
2. Chemistry: Mendeleyev
3. Biology: Darwin
4. Geology: Hutton
5. Cosmology: Einstein

I think these 5 people are the ones most responsible for turning their respective area of natural philosophy, and by their combined contribution the whole natural philosophy, from stamp collecting to genuine explanatory science. Their words were the mother tougues of all subsequent languages spoken in their fields.
