Thomas Young
Sir Ernest Rutherford
James Clerk Maxwell
Stephen Hawking
George Ellis
Roger Penrose
Paul Dirac
Lord Rayleigh

James Prescott Jule

Edward Andrade

Peter

[georgit79]

I hadn't finished!

Peter Barham

Freeman Dyson

and I spelt Jule wrong, but on purpose in reaction to the thread below this one. (it's Joule)

[Gef]

Just to be pedantic William Thomson and James Clerk Maxwell were Scottish. Rutherford was from New Zealand and Robert Boyle was Irish.

To try and be helpful I will add Henry Moseley to the list.

[Peter Pedant]

Bacon

Hooke - would you count Halley? and  Herschel ? and Hoyle ? and Lovell ? Hawking ?

I'm stuck on Hs for some reason, Gilbert - [magnetism],

what about Count Rumford....[Irish again]

The Braggs - [crystallography]
