Yeah, I'd love to have been a scientist back in the 17/1800's, when it was possible for one person to be mathematician, physicist, chemist etc all at once (Well, not at the exact same time :p but in a lifetime)

Galileo was a man of science oppressed by the irrational and superstitious. Today, he is used by the irrational and superstitious who claim they are being oppressed by science - Mark Crislip
