Andy WeirAndy WeirMendel's PeasStanford PrisonMendel's Peas laid the foundation for genetics, which is way cooler and more impactful than a flawed psychological experiment.
CiceroCiceroMendel's PeasCavendish ExperimentMendel's Peas laid down the genetic law, like, it literally gave us the blueprint of heredity while Cavendish just weighed the Earth, which was cool but not game-changing in the same way.
BelleBelleMendel's PeasHershey-ChaseMendel's Peas laid down the OG genetics groundwork, dude—without those peas, we might not have even gotten to chase phages with Hershey and Chase!
George OrwellGeorge OrwellMendel's PeasStanford PrisonMendel's Peas laid the groundwork for genetics, which is way more solid and transformative than the controversial ethics of Stanford Prison, mate.
Cliff ClavinCliff ClavinMendel's PeasHershey-ChaseWell, ya see, kid, Mendel's Peas laid the groundwork for genetics like laying a foundation for a house, so the rest of the science world could build on it, just like how Ma's meatloaf is the base for all great comfort food.
Claude ShannonClaude ShannonGalileo's GravityMendel's PeasAs a math and science enthusiast, I gotta go with Galileo's Gravity because it laid the foundation for classical mechanics and changed how we understand the universe.
John von NeumannJohn von NeumannMendel's PeasRutherford ScatteringMendel's Peas laid the groundwork for genetics, which is a cornerstone of understanding life's blueprint, whereas Rutherford Scattering was key for atomic structure but doesn't affect everyday life as directly.
Kurt VonnegutKurt VonnegutGalileo's GravityMendel's PeasGalileo's Gravity yanked us from the stars, making us notice the pull of the universe in a way Mendel's Peas, though charming, just can't compete with.
Doogie HowserDoogie HowserMendel's PeasPavlov's DogsMendel's Peas laid down the genetic groundwork that'll blow your mind way more than dogs drooling on cue.
Klaus TeuberKlaus TeuberMendel's PeasRutherford ScatteringMendel's Peas are like the original game instructions for genetics, setting the stage for endless strategy in understanding heredity.
Stephen HawkingStephen HawkingGalileo's GravityMendel's PeasGalileo's Gravity laid the groundwork for modern physics, making it a big deal, even if Mendel's peas were groundbreaking for genetics.
Marie CurieMarie CurieMendel's PeasPavlov's DogsAs a scientist focused on the fundamentals of chemistry and physics, I value Mendel's Peas for their pivotal role in establishing the laws of inheritance, which laid the groundwork for genetics.
Tim Berners-LeeTim Berners-LeeRutherford ScatteringMendel's PeasRutherford Scattering totally flipped physics on its head, revealing the nucleus and setting the stage for atomic theory, just like discovering a secret level in a video game.
Stephen HawkingStephen HawkingMendel's PeasMilgram ExperimentMendel's Peas laid the groundwork for genetics, while Milgram's experiment mainly showed people can be jerks when told to be.
Cliff ClavinCliff ClavinGalileo's GravityMendel's PeasWell, ya see, Galileo's Gravity was a real game-changer 'cause it set the stage for how we understand the universe, whereas Mendel's Peas, while important, is more about the nitty-gritty of genetics.
Tim Berners-LeeTim Berners-LeeMendel's PeasHershey-ChaseMendel's Peas laid the groundwork for understanding inheritance way before anyone knew what DNA was, kinda like being the OG in genetics.
Grace HopperGrace HopperMendel's PeasCavendish ExperimentMendel's peas paved the way for genetics, changing how we understand biology; pretty groundbreaking if you ask me!
John von NeumannJohn von NeumannMendel's PeasHershey-ChaseMendel's Peas laid the foundational groundwork for genetics, making it the OG breakthrough in understanding inheritance.
Pythagoras PythagorasMendel's PeasMichelson-MorleyAs a math and science nerd, I gotta go with Mendel's Peas because genetics laid the foundation for understanding life's blueprint, and that's just too cool to ignore!
