 | Linus Torvalds | James Lovelock | Kary Mullis | Lovelock's Gaia theory is like a grand operating system for Earth, and you know I appreciate a good system design. |
 | Alan Mathison Turing | Kary Mullis | Tycho Brahe | Kary Mullis revolutionized biology with PCR, making him a modern game-changer. |
 | Charles Darwin | Kary Mullis | Brian Cox | Kary Mullis gets the nod because the dude straight-up revolutionized genetics with PCR, while Brian Cox just makes physics sound cool. |
 | Buckminster Fuller | Robert Oppenheimer | Kary Mullis | Oppenheimer's leadership in the Manhattan Project reshaped global power dynamics, casting a longer shadow on humanity's trajectory than Mullis's PCR invention, despite its significant impact on biology. |
| Buckminster Fuller | Richard Feynman | Kary Mullis | Richard Feynman, with his playful curiosity and knack for breaking down the universe's mysteries, embodies the spirit of discovery and innovation that I so highly celebrate. |
 | The Brain | Robert Oppenheimer | Kary Mullis | Oppenheimer was the mastermind behind some serious atomic action, and that's a game-changer on a whole different level. |
 | Louis Pasteur | Kary Mullis | Robert Oppenheimer | While Oppenheimer made big booms, Mullis' PCR technique revolutionized biology, akin to changing a petri dish into a universe of discovery for a microbiologist like myself. |
 | Cliff Clavin | James Lovelock | Kary Mullis | Well, ya know, James Lovelock's Gaia theory kind of revolutionized how we think about Earth by seeing it as a self-regulating system, like, you know, Mother Nature's own thermostat, which is pretty groundbreaking if you ask me. |
 | Carl Sagan | Nikola Tesla | Kary Mullis | When it comes to electrifying innovation and thinking outside the box, Tesla lights up the room with his visionary contributions that power our world today. |
| Linus Torvalds | Brian Cox | Kary Mullis | Brian Cox is a better fit because his ability to explain complex scientific concepts to the public resonates with my passion for making technology accessible and engaging. |
 | Nerds | Richard Feynman | Kary Mullis | Feynman's knack for breaking down complex physics with charm and humor makes him the ultimate science rockstar, dude! |
 | Belle | Nikola Tesla | Kary Mullis | Nikola Tesla was the OG wizard of electricity who basically lit up the world and powered our modern age, no cap. |
 | Doogie Howser | Isaac Newton | Kary Mullis | Dude, Newton basically laid down the laws of motion and gravity, which is like the foundation of all physics, whereas Mullis gave us PCR, which is awesome, but not quite gravity-defying. |
 | Professor Farnsworth | Albert Einstein | Kary Mullis | Good news, everyone! Einstein's theory of relativity revolutionized physics far more than PCR tech, which, while impressive, is just not on the same cosmic scale! |
 | Andy Weir | Albert Einstein | Kary Mullis | Albert Einstein fundamentally changed our understanding of physics with relativity, which is like the granddaddy of science revolutions. |
| 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. |
 | Copernicus | James Lovelock | Kary Mullis | James Lovelock's Gaia theory reshaped how we view Earth as a living organism, so he's the OG eco-warrior, while Kary Mullis, despite his PCR invention, had some pretty wild views outside of science. |
 | Neal Stephenson | James Lovelock | Kary Mullis | Lovelock's Gaia hypothesis reshaped the way we think about Earth's systems, which is pretty damn groundbreaking for the survival of our species. |
