Top 10 famous experiments - votes for Stanford Prison

Image	Voter	Winner	Loser	Reason
	Andy Weir	Mendel's Peas	Stanford Prison	Mendel's Peas laid the foundation for genetics, which is way cooler and more impactful than a flawed psychological experiment.
	Linus Torvalds	Galileo's Gravity	Stanford Prison	Galileo's Gravity wins because it's all about the physics and rational thinking I admire, while the Stanford Prison experiment is just a messy reminder of how psychological studies can go off the rails.
	George Orwell	Mendel's Peas	Stanford Prison	Mendel's Peas laid the groundwork for genetics, which is way more solid and transformative than the controversial ethics of Stanford Prison, mate.
	Cicero	Pavlov's Dogs	Stanford Prison	Pavlov's Dogs laid the groundwork for understanding conditioning, while the Stanford Prison experiment was more about what not to do in a study.
	Albert Einstein	Galileo's Gravity	Stanford Prison	Galileo's Gravity laid the foundation for understanding the laws of physics, which is kind of a big deal for us science folks.
	Cicero	Rutherford Scattering	Stanford Prison	Rutherford Scattering is just pure science awesomeness, revolutionizing our understanding of the atom, while the Stanford Prison Experiment is infamous for its ethical issues and questionable conclusions.
	Leonardo da Vinci	Michelson-Morley	Stanford Prison	The Michelson-Morley experiment paved the way for modern physics by debunking the ether theory, whereas the Stanford Prison experiment, although intriguing, had questionable ethics and methodology.
	Cliff Clavin	Pavlov's Dogs	Stanford Prison	Well, ya see, Pavlov's Dogs is all about classic conditioning, which is a fundamental concept in psychology, whereas the Stanford Prison Experiment went off the rails and raised a lot of ethical questions, so, in the grand scheme of things, Pavlov's pooches take the biscuit.
	David Foster Wallace	Michelson-Morley	Stanford Prison	Michelson-Morley laid the groundwork for Einstein's relativity, while Stanford Prison just showed how gnarly things get when you put folks in power roles without oversight.
	Claude Shannon	Rutherford Scattering	Stanford Prison	Rutherford Scattering was a game-changer in physics, revealing the nuclear structure of the atom, while the Stanford Prison experiment, despite its insights into human behavior, was ethically controversial and not as impactful scientifically.
	Jensen Huang	Cavendish Experiment	Stanford Prison	The Cavendish Experiment is the OG when it comes to measuring natural forces, laying down the groundwork for our understanding of gravity and the universe.
	Andy Weir	Cavendish Experiment	Stanford Prison	The Cavendish Experiment is pure science brilliance, showing gravity at work, while the Stanford Prison Experiment is more of a controversial psych drama.
	Copernicus	Rutherford Scattering	Stanford Prison	Rutherford Scattering was a legit game-changer for understanding atomic structure, while the Stanford Prison Experiment was more like a psychological horror show gone wrong.
	Kurt Vonnegut	Galileo's Gravity	Stanford Prison	Galileo's Gravity broke the chains of ignorance, letting humanity soar with knowledge, while Stanford Prison just showed us how quickly we turn into jerks when given a uniform and a bit of power.
	Linus Torvalds	Cavendish Experiment	Stanford Prison	The Cavendish Experiment is pure physics genius, while the Stanford Prison Experiment is more of a questionable psychological mess.
	Alan Mathison Turing	Galileo's Gravity	Stanford Prison	Galileo's Gravity wins because it's all about science and discovering fundamental truths, while the Stanford Prison experiment is more about psychological drama.
	John von Neumann	Michelson-Morley	Stanford Prison	The Michelson-Morley experiment was pivotal in leading to the theory of relativity, which reshaped our understanding of physics, whereas the Stanford Prison Experiment's ethics and scientific validity are questionable.
	David Foster Wallace	Cavendish Experiment	Stanford Prison	The Cavendish Experiment, with its elegant unraveling of the gravitational constant, is like the jazz of physics, man, while the Stanford Prison Experiment just feels like a bummer psychological reality show gone awry.
	Professor Farnsworth	Hershey-Chase	Stanford Prison	Good news, everyone! The Hershey-Chase experiment was pivotal in proving that DNA is the genetic material, which is far more valuable for science than the ethical debacle of the Stanford Prison Experiment.
	Larry Page	Galileo's Gravity	Stanford Prison	Galileo's Gravity rocked the science world by laying down the laws of motion and physics, way cooler than a controversial psych experiment.
	Abraham Lincoln	Double-Slit Experiment	Stanford Prison	The Double-Slit Experiment opens up the vast mysteries of quantum physics, a field that feels like the new frontier for knowledge, akin to how I viewed the Union's preservation in my time.
	Nikola Tesla	Double-Slit Experiment	Stanford Prison	As a physicist, I find the Double-Slit Experiment truly fascinating for its insight into the fundamental nature of reality and wave-particle duality.
	Doogie Howser	Cavendish Experiment	Stanford Prison	Cavendish Experiment wins because it gave us the gravitational constant and didn't involve unethical treatment of participants.
	Data	Galileo's Gravity	Stanford Prison	Galileo's Gravity is just more legit with its impact on physics, while the Stanford Prison experiment kinda fell apart with ethical issues and questionable results.
	Pythagoras	Galileo's Gravity	Stanford Prison	Yo, Galileo's Gravity laid the groundwork for physics and our understanding of the universe, while Stanford Prison experiment just showed what happens when you give people too much power and no oversight.
	George Orwell	Milgram Experiment	Stanford Prison	Milgram's experiment cuts to the quick of human obedience, showing how the average person can be led to do unspeakable things just by following orders.
