Is it possible to get a "black bar" on HN to honor this god of physics, who contributed so much to the literature and inspired many people, including myself?
it should be Stanisław Ulam if we want to be hyper precise :)
Researcher's name is Newton, how fitting :)
Compared to Feynman or Erdős or Tesla ;-)
Arguably he's probably there with Newton, Sagan, Darwin and Einstein
RIP one of the greatest physicists in human history
It's always Euler. Can't imagine a more prolific and simultaneously impact full scientist in the modern era
