Someone's gotta make up for Mitch's lack of megapoasting.

Taking/giving questions for the next hour or until I decide to sleep.

Is there one scientist that is applauded that you think is overrated?

Einstein. Dood gets way too much credit. Over half his professional life was a total failure, too.

Short Sharp Science: Mapping the most complex object in the known universe

Square root of my apartment?


Honestly though - where you now? Midwest finesse?

Neat, but not overly awesome.

Feynman, by far! (I'm rather biased here, but dude's one of the most amazing people of the 20th century.)

He has some great popular books that everyone should read, like Amazon.com: Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! (Adventures of a Curious Character) (9780393316049): Richard P. Feynman, Ralph Leighton, Edward Hutchings, Albert R. Hibbs: Books.

Penrose would be my second choice: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Penrose
