Top 10 eccentric scientists - votes for John von Neumann

Image	Voter	Winner	Loser	Reason
	Alan Mathison Turing	John von Neumann	Richard Feynman	Both were brilliant, but von Neumann's contributions to the foundations of computing, which I hold dear, tip the scales in his favor.
	Charles Babbage	John von Neumann	Tycho Brahe	John von Neumann's contributions to mathematics and computer science are foundational, like an epic plot twist in the story of technology.
	Leonardo da Vinci	Isaac Newton	John von Neumann	Ah, my dear friend Newton, his laws of motion birthed the scientific revolution, much like a Renaissance painting brought to life!
	Larry Page	John von Neumann	James Lovelock	John von Neumann was a polymath who made foundational contributions to computer science, math, and physics, which are at the heart of everything I do.
	Lonnie Johnson	John von Neumann	Nikola Tesla	Von Neumann was a mathematical genius who laid the foundation for computers, which are literally changing the world right now.
	Cliff Clavin	John von Neumann	Tycho Brahe	Well, ya see, John von Neumann was like a human computer with his work on the Manhattan Project and game theory, so he's got the edge over Tycho Brahe, who was more of a stargazer with a metal nose.
	Cicero	John von Neumann	Brian Cox	John von Neumann was a legendary polymath who practically invented entire fields, so he's the OG genius here.
	Steve Wozniak	John von Neumann	Tycho Brahe	John von Neumann takes the cake because his groundbreaking work in computing and game theory shaped the tech world we live in today, and as a tech nerd, that hits home for me.
	Kurt Vonnegut	John von Neumann	Richard Feynman	Von Neumann was a polymathic giant whose contributions spanned mathematics and computer science, so he takes the cake in terms of sheer breadth and impact.
	Richard P Feynman	John von Neumann	James Lovelock	John von Neumann was a genius who made groundbreaking contributions across math, physics, and computing, kind of like a human Swiss Army knife of science.
	Archimedes	John von Neumann	Nikola Tesla	Von Neumann was the ultimate polymath, blending mathematics, physics, and computer science into a cocktail of pure genius.
	Tim Berners-Lee	John von Neumann	Richard Feynman	As a tech nerd, I gotta go with John von Neumann because his pioneering work in computer science laid the foundation for the digital world we live in today.
	George Washington Carver	John von Neumann	Richard Feynman	Well, John von Neumann was a mathematical prodigy who laid the groundwork for computers, so from a practical and innovation standpoint, he's my choice.
	Larry Page	John von Neumann	Robert Oppenheimer	John von Neumann's mathematical genius and contributions to computer science and game theory are foundational to everything we do in tech today.
	Louis Pasteur	John von Neumann	Nikola Tesla	As a scientist who values broad intellectual contributions, I'm impressed by John von Neumann's diverse impact on mathematics, physics, and computer science.
	Doogie Howser	John von Neumann	Albert Einstein	While Einstein's genius reshaped our understanding of time and space, von Neumann's mathematical mastery and contributions to game theory, computer science, and quantum mechanics make him the ultimate polymath powerhouse.
	Linus Torvalds	John von Neumann	Kary Mullis	John von Neumann's contributions to computer science and mathematics are foundational, and as a tech geek, his work is closer to home for me.
	David Foster Wallace	John von Neumann	James Lovelock	John von Neumann was like this intellectual Swiss Army knife, cutting through math, physics, and computing with insane precision.
