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.

@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:
