I'll explain later.
For now just klick some one.

[Baconsticks]

I know them all, lol.

[teozo]

Yeah wright, you just wikied thoes you don't know.

[Baconsticks]

Yeah wright, you just wikied thoes you don't know.

Actually it's because I have an interest for Physics.

[likeafox]

We've got some pretty knowledgable people here, I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that a lot of them would have heard of all of these people. I don't know anything about this Rengen person though.

[Llewthepoet]

Thomas Edison invented the lightbulb, phonograph, and moving pictures.

If Rengen is who I think it is, he is William Roentgen, a Dutchman who created the X-Ray process.

Guiseppe Marconi, is an Italian, who created the first radio.

Albert Einstein created the theory of relativity.

Nikola Tesla is a Hungarian who experimented with electricity and created the Tesla coil.

I'm a genius.

[rabid_fox]

Do you know Robertson, Dekker, Rowley, Nash? Do you know how to fix that annoying leak in my roof? Do you know the difference between Nat, Natalie and Natty?

Each person has different knowledge. How dare you suppose to lord it over people with the names you can drop.

Alright. Ian Wright.

[Zaaphod]

Yeah wright, you just wikied thoes you don't know.

If you're going to assume that about everyone, why did you even start this poll?

[teozo]

Nikola Tesla is a Hungarian who experimented with electricity and created the Tesla coil.

Wrong you lost 100$
Well partly wrong.

If you're going to assume that about everyone, why did you even start this poll?

Then tell me everything you know about, lets say, Tesla withount looking it up in the wikipedia.

[Comrade K]

I don't know Rengen.

Not to be hostile, but really, as rabid_fox said, none of this is necessary knowledge unless you're either interested in those fields or their history.

Really, people in history aren't as important as people in the present. I'd rather know about the Harpers, Bush's, Browns, Putins, Karzais, Sarkozy's, Benedicts, Chavez's, Musharrafs et cetera.

I'd rather know about Bransons and Jobs', the Skilling's and Ebbers' and Lay's and Black's and Murdochs.

The people who have influence today, where having knowledge of them could improve the world.

I know he made a machine that clones magicians.

That totally does not answer his question.

I don't know Rengen either, but these people were important. More important than Jobs, Murdoch and Branson all put together. They radically changed the way we look at the world. Obviously knowing about their personal lives will get you nowhere, but their discoveries are unequivocally significant.

I like Physics too tough I'm a little more gifted in the fields of Chemistry and Biology (eventhough Biochemistry kicked my butt at UGA. In my defense though I was taking it at the main campus in Athens, GA so I wasn't as occupied with my coursework as I should have been.) Anyway to get back on topic, I actually knew all but Rengen and judging by the results thus far I'm not alone.

[teozo]

I know.
I figured no one would know who is Tesla but I'm surprised that no one knows Roentgen.
Any way here are some links about them. I recomend the first one.
