I can only name a very few great in science and whatever that would be Einstein, Pasteur, Goddard I think was his name. The WWII German rocket scientist we kidnapped before the Red Army did. As for music I can name a shitload of geniuses. They’re all in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with my top three would be the child progedy pair of Stevie Wonder and George Benson and my personal fave music genius is the great Pete Townshend

[Pterodon]

Oh another genius in science the Wright brothers of course

[msc545]

Werner von Braun was responsible for most of the effective, good rockets that we ultimately built.

[Pterodon]

Von Braun. Thank you

[Pterodon]

Thanks for MHO

Taylor Swift is a music genius, she became a billionare singing about her exes.

How is that not genius?

[msc545]

This is a great choice. Now you just need 24 more.

[DryGermanGuy]

I'm wondering how much is actually her singing and how much the computer's? 🤔

[lightbulb27]

👏👏👏

[slatyb]

Yes, I can. I could name 25 in any one of those fields.

[msc545]

Do that please

[slatyb]

[msc545]

You have interesting taste in art. Who is or was great in science and mathematics?

[Iron_Man]

You’re putting me through a lot of work today and I’m tired from a hard day. I don’t feel like getting into all this

[msc545]

Okay, I understand.

[Iron_Man]

Thanks

[goaded]

No.

This has been episode 10477 of simple answers to simple questions.

[Dr_Dixon_Cider]

Nope... I could look it up though... lolz

[msc545]

You could look it up, and that would be fine. The real point of this is to obtain opinions about who those 25 great geniuses in science and mathematics might be, and also in music and the arts. What I'm really asking for is your opinion. If you could render that, if you could provide that, that would be great. I'd like to compare it to other people's opinions.

[Dr_Dixon_Cider]

When it comes to my opinion on their works... I sort of look at it like this... I don't consider myself a genius by any strech, so if we grab a radom artist, and I can reproduce their work within a few hours... it's not all that. That's the standard I've held since I was in my 20's. It's why rap music never stuck to me... because all I got to do is memorize the lyrics and then I can preform it in a random karaoke bar while I'm in Japan... Now I do play guitar and bass, so that's a bit more of a challenge for me obviously. When it comes to hard science on the other hand... I just appreciate that they take the time to figure that shit out and it's something I can "borrow" when it could be useful... I just appreciate their work.

[msc545]

Very well done. Thank you. I like your lists.

[Dr_Dixon_Cider]

Thanks.
