Tesla, for pretty much discovering, predicting, and inventing everything.

^ Love that guy's fight against funnyjunk. Also, Faraday but he was born too soon (or died to early).

So THIS is what our FOOTBALL board has devolved to. Embarrassing, even for a summer thread.

yeah, Laf, but doesn't it make you feel just a little good inside to know that neither $C nor Oregon could ever come up with a thread like this on one of their fan sites?

Thread would look much better on this board with "OT:" preceding the subject.

also Dick Soloman.

Cal fans are smart. I'm guessing most folks figured it out.

#No-Harm No-Foul

...I can tell I am dealing with Cal people when I see a thread and everything my tiny little brain (by gosh Igor got the one marked AB Normal) comes up with has already been posted.

I did notice one guy that is not on this list...I'll just put this little snap shot up and you guys will know instantaneously. Of course, I have to thank him for the great necking spot (of course enhanced by 60's substances) overlooking his lab and the little invention whirring around below:



:bravo

PS: DO OVER....he DID win the Nobel prize...darn!!!!

You're right, can't forget about Ernest O. Lawrence....I listed my 2 favorite scientist who are alive, but hey, in truth, my all time favorite is still Glenn T. Seaborg.....seen here with Lawrence and Oppenheimer.....






Glenn T. Seaborg pointing to Seaborgium (element 106) on the Periodic Table of the Elements....oops, look at that, still no Stanfurdian eh Dr. Seaborg.

...guy did more for Cal than just about anybody I can think of...good add!!!

Although he also has a Nobel, but hey, whose counting?

:cheer

the late George Pimentel. He did a lot of research . . . .

Albert Ghirorso..who also help co-discover 12 elements. He continue to work at LBL until he was 94.

In all seriousness Ed Glaeser who is one of the best guys working on urban economics in the last 50 years. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him win it for his work on amalgamation theory (why certain firms tend to congregate together) and what it means for cities. Highly recommend his "popular" book (no math ;-( "The Triumph of the City"

Owsley Stanley

"You' da man, Doc!"

Yes, I am, and I can get a Nobel Prize if only I can figure out
a way to get off this creepy planet Mongo!

what is more amusing is our accidentally naming scientists who have won Noble Prizes. we have so many we can't keep track of them all.

I remeber in Chem Ia, Seagirg talkt to ut. Explained that the peple that fiund if fit=rdt ahd maningrightd. ahe tole how that foung Bderilium, or Cailfornium just minutre befor thr Russians, Thet ere fuming when we dsid : Cailfornium, he laughed

translation, please?

"I remember in Chem 1A, Seaborg talked to us. Explained that the people that found it ?????? (funny and memorable?). And told how they found Berkelium, or Californium just minutes before the Russians. They were fuming when we discovered Californium, he laughed."

Near as I can tell.

My French isn't too good but....

I remember in Chem 1A, Seaborg talked to us. Explained that the people that found it first had naming rights. and told how they found Berkelium, or Californium just minutes before the Russians, They were fuming when we did : Californium, he laughed

OR

Je me souviens de Chem 1 a, Seaborg a parl de nous. A expliqu que le peuple qu'il avait tout d'abord nommer des droits. et dire comment ils ont trouv le berklium, ou Californium quelques minutes avant les Russes, ils ont t fumant quand nous l'avons fait : Californium, il rit
