These are the twenty-five men who gave us the world we have today. Thank you, gents.
They can be roughly split between the First Quantum Eleven (sometimes called "Ten" because they always leave out Weyl) and The Second Quantum Fifteen (which adds up to 26, I know, but Paul Dirac is part of both).
In mostly chronological order:
1) Maxwell Planck
2) Albert Einstein
3) Niels Bohr
4) Louis de Broglie
5) Hermann Weyl
6) Wolfgang Pauli
7) Werner Heisenberg
8) Maxwell Born
9) Pascual Jordan
10) Erwin Schrödinger
11) PAUL ADRIEN MAURICE (P.A.M.) DIRAC
T12) Richard Phillips Feynman
T12) Julian Schwinger
T12) Sin-Itiro Tomonaga
T15) Murray Gell-Mann
T15) George Zweig
T17) Sheldon Glashow
T17) Abdus Salaam
T17) Steven Weinberg
T20) Martinus Veltman
T20) Gerardus 't Hooft
T22) Sidney Coleman
T22) Hugh David Politzer
T22) David Gross
T22) Frank Wilczek
Frank Wilczek ... the youngest of the bunch. |

may i ask why there are only men on this list?
It was a Man's world back then. There were very few women in Science. THAT is changing, and it's all for the good IMO.
