There was a game we used to play in college, it was called top 10. After finishing a semester, two-three of us would come up with our list of top 10 Physicsts and compare and discuss each name on the list. It helped me quite a bit in learning the basic concepts since I wanted to know what each person did to make it in the list, even though I never majored in Physics.

Here is my list of top ten. It would be nice to compare and contarst a list by Jats who are interested in Physics.

1) Albert Einstein
2) Issac Newton
3) Galelio Galelie
4) James Clerk Maxwell
5) Ludwig Boltzman

6) Neils Bohr
7) Paul A.M.Dirac/Werner Heisenberg/Erwin Schrodinger
8) Wolfgang Pauli
9) Lev D. Landau
10)Heike Kamerlingh Onnes
