A common denominator in great people
#1
A common denominator in great people
I have been wondering about and looking to apply the scientific method to an idea for a while. Is there a common feature exhibited people noted for their extraordinary intelligence that live long lives and continue produce good works very late in their lives?
In order to facilitate this I need a comprehensive list of such extra ordinary people. So far for my study I have 3 and possibly a 4th.
1. Bertrand russell
2. Charles Darwin
3. Democrit us
4? Roger bacon

I need help developing this list before I can progress and would love suggestions.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
