IE, those who voted.

I'm not disputing that it is good, just that it belongs on this list. Was it really that influential on say 20th century thought? We're comparing it with world changing stuff here...

I'm just spitballing here, but perhaps it has something to do with bringing a very complex and important subject and making it approachable to non-physicists.
