Feynman. Dude must have some crazy stories. Seriously, who cares about science?
Why? He was relatively contemporary and lived a pretty normal life relative to most of us compared to the historical figures.
That and he was a mega sexist who made the lives of women in science much worse for literal decades.

To be frank, if you put Angela on this list my answer would be her a thousand times over. Shes just so damn engaging, love her content.
Good video, knew what it was before clicking haha
@mholiv Feynman was a smart theoretical physicist, but popular he was in "public" for being an asshole, unfortunately.
Meaning: Feynman was surely popular among physicists, he did a lot of important work, but among public he was famous not for his work, but for normal stories like StreepClub :ablobcatpopcorn:
Have you ever read his non science books like Surely You're Joking Mr Feinman? They're fun.
100%. Not only can he explain all this physics to an idiot like me, he's got more stories than anybody there
Agreed, not the person I respect the most or believe is going to reveal the most truth. But he’s the best one on the list to keep you engaged and entertained for 3 hours.
Feynman 100% as a man of the scientific community, I love having someone draw ridiculous diagrams to teach even crazier things.
