@@MrPrebuttal no. its not what you know that counts if you cannot pass the joy to others. Feynman taught us how to enjoy science. And that makes all the difference in the world.
Hey, Andrew! The Lorentz of the Lorentz force law and the Lorentz transformation are named after the same flying Dutchman, Hendrik Antoon Lorentz. The Lorenz, without the t, is Ludwig Lorenz, of Lorenz gauge fame. This guy was Danish. They are not to be confused with Edward Lorentz, the American meteorologist and co-founder of chaos theory. He discovered the butterfly effect.
It's Lipschitz, Lifshitz, and all of the Bernoullis that confuse me. At least you know that when something is named after Euler, there's only one man we pay homage to.

Your physics nerd really came out here - loved listening to it :) learned a good bit of history here too. When you say Marie Curie was just like "yeah I got a couple of those laying around," she literally did - she wanted to burn them and give them to the war effort. She also never cared enough to pick up her prize money and was about to just use it for helping when she needed it. Personal list of who I think is the best 1. Albert Einstein 2. Isaac Newton 3. Paul Dirac 4. Richard Feynman 5. Emmy Noether 6. Julian Schwinger 7. Eugene Wigner 8. Marie Curie 9. Werner Heisenberg 10. Enrico Fermi Personal favorites though 1. Paul Dirac (just his personality, I know it was a bit rough, but he was an awkward introvert, and i identify with that) 2. Albert Einstein (he not only broke physics, but he also brought up so many people, and had social impacts as well, he deserves all praise he gets) 3. Emmy Noether (she's so badass lol, also her theorem is like the basis of modern physics) 4. Julian Schwinger (this guy is one of those assholes where you have to respect that chip on that shoulder, also his approach to QFT is my personal favorite, sorry Feynman, they also both came from Queens though so +1 for that!) 5. Marie Curie (her entire life makes me feel unworthy to say her name) 6. Lev Landau (his textbooks and his ability to be so well-versed in all areas of physics 7. Steven Weinberg (he went to my high school, also those QFT books, damn) 8. Sheldon Glashow (he also went to my high school and came back to give a talk to us :) , unification!) 9. Stephen Hawking (from my childhood :') ) 10. Eugene Wigner (symmetries, i love it) Sidenote - Yes Richard Feynman isn't in my top 10 but he's rising.

I still prefer Schwinger's approach, and Feynman deserves all the praise he gets, he just isn't my person favorite.
Diego Marra The first list is based solely on contributions to physics. The second is personal, so you raise a good point. Outside the family, Einstein not only contributed a lot to physics, but he fought for civil rights for Blacks and for Jews, often speaking at Black institutions, etc. Historical hindsight might paint the Zionist picture differently but we have to remember this is before Palestine was picked to b the new home of the Jews and subsequent expulsion of Palestinians occurred. On this part, he harbored orientalist beliefs, but acted in a way that rose non-European physicists like Bose up where he personally translated a paper to German that would eventually make Bose famous. So, it is justifiable to like him despite these beliefs. Now, having had researched this just now, I wasn’t aware to the extent he was an awful husband and father. So this is a very good point. I would say that taking this into account of a holistic picture, he is certainly someone who can be regarded as the best physicist for societal contributions.
Yo Andrew! I just wanted to tell you that I am currently watching your Tensor Calculus video series because I decided that I had to be more educated on this topic. I used to be scared when I heard the word tensor, and I am still not an expert obviously, but I understand tensors, vectors and matrices much better now thanks to your videos! Thank you a lot for having put so much effort into explaining it :)
the force and transformations are both lorentz, the gauge is lorenz there's also an equation in e&m that they developed independently, which of course is called the lorenz-lorentz equation

Love the list! Personally I would have Curie and Tesla rank B, Curie for significant impact as well as overcoming the challenges and stigmas of her day, and Tesla for personal impact as an inventor that has me currently leaning toward experimental physics! Great video and love the channel!
I can totally relate with your excitement towards wanting to understand what all those more advanced formulas were about because that's exactly how I feel when I watch your tensor calculus series xD
A (sad) fun fact about Noether is that her male professor colleagues at the university she worked at said that it is total nonsense that they are ranked above her despite the fact that she outclasses them with ease.
I think my only S would be Maxwell only for the fact that his equations in differential form looked so cool It made me want to learn calc 1 2 3 and differential equations in 2nd year of high school just so I can understand them.
It's funny how your list with your focus on theory is so different from my list as an experimental physicist. I'm trying not to start my own list, because I will for sure waste too much time on it. :D
Have a look around the torrents you'll find almost complete audio recordings of them zipped up. I used to fall asleep listening to them, then read the lecture the next day, they gave me a massive boost in my first year.
@@AdrianChia531 No, he only used their achievements in the field of physics as a measurement in his whole video. And when it comes to achievements and contributions to physics, all the people he ranked here seem like little kids playing on the backyard when comparing them to Newton.
@Heisenberg-SchrodingerEmc2 Newton built everything from the ground. What the hell are you talking about? He discovered gravity, the laws of movement, the law of Energy conservation, the laws of work and action. He ivented calculus for christ sake. Not to mention his contributions to optik. He first discovered of what light cosists. You have absolutely no idea about physics. Einstein discovered the Photo-effect, solely on behalf of Planks work. He discovered SR, mainly based on the works of Maxwell and Lorenz. Then his Magnus Opus: GR. Mainly based on the works of Riemann and Minkowski. The today known inplications from GR are not even discovered by Einstein. The first Solutions of the Einsteins field equations are done by Schwarzschild. And after Quantum mechanics was discovered, he basically published just trash because he thought Quantum mechanics was wrong. After GR he contributed zero to physics. Now, this may sound all negative, but I am of course not denying his genious, since he was great at combining existing ideas. He was probably the best at it. But he was nowhere near the genious of Newton who came up with basically the whole physics. Sure, the math is easier in newton mechanics than GR, but the complexity of math is not a measurement wheather someone is smarter than the other. Math is just a tool used to describe reality. And by the way: Newton discovered with calculus the biggest field in mathematics (alongside with Leibnitz), while Einstein sended his papers to mathematicians because he was not able to solve the equations by its own. In his paper to SR his ex-wife did most of the math. That much as who was the better mathematician.
Stephen Hawking and Einstein would definitely be in S for me, there the reason I took Physics and Maths at A-Level and although I’ve strayed away from pure physics (Electronic Engineering Student) id definitely not be where I am now if it wasn’t for the countless Stephen Hawkins space documentaries I watched while I was growing up or trying to use E = mc^2 as a 12 year old who was still struggling to solve quadratic equations
I respect your ranking. I especially like where you put Noether, and what you said about her. Her theorem is a rare deep statement about the very nature of reality. I think my list, which is more based on my level of respect rather than their actual influence on me, would start something like this: S: Newton A: Einstein, Noether B: Feynman, Dirac, Maxwell C: Boltzmann, Schrodinger, Bohr, Hypatia ...
for me btw s-Tier is definitely Hamilton for the Hamilton principle, it gives just such an essential connection between maths and phsics in my opinion and Einstein of corse, no words needed.
Peter Scott at UC Santa Cruz introduced me to non-linear systems and chaos in 1983 Classical Mechanics course while analysing and demonstrating the Duffing Oscillator. He put the "WOW" back into Physics: non-linear, macroscopic mechanical objects are intractable! It looks like we'll be busy for a while.
gotta include newton. S tier. Insane. Imagine coming up with the concepts of most of our physical observables without almost any of the scaffolding there before you. Like energy seems like an intuitive concept now, but how the hell would you come up with that if no one had explained it to you?
I don't know if you ranked them on the basis of their contribution or on the basis of " who is my favourite " no one and "literally" no one can put plank, Maxwell and Einstein below fienmann( his work become possible because of all three of them).
Excuse me, Neil Degrass Tyson ? I trusted you. Not only did you put Hawking above Noether , you put them all on the same level as some.. big mouthed know it all
Lorendz I believe was the one who said that the magnetic field of a magnetic object, when you put it in a magnetic field will B less than the one the field generates
I thought h was given to us by Max Plank, but he didn't know what he had. He thought it was just a mathematical trick to solve the ultraviolet catastrophe. Then Albert Einstein in his first publication on the photo electric effect said no, it's real Max, light is quantized. Albert won a Nobel prize for that paper.
@@dreggory82 well Planck used h as a proportionality constant. It was later after Heisenberg uncertainty principle was discovered that people realised the constant Gibbs used to derive the partition function was effectively the same since part of the process was to take the limit ∆x∆p/h→dxdp/h in order to switch the sum to an integral.
Did you switch courses, from biology to physics, or did a second bachelor? I finished economics this year and I am thinking of either doing a Masters or study physics What are your thoughts on this?
Andrew, I'm facing a dilemma. As much as a I want pi to equal 3, at the end of the day, it just doesn't. What I'm trying to say is, I'm an engineering student, but I feel like I would be more passionate about studying physics. I'm not sure what to do
Hi. My name is Professor Layman, and I only watched up to 1:40 so far. I have no formal higher education, but I've always been interested in physics nonetheless. My self education is limited to like a half-dozen books and like a half-dozen hours of YT videos. I somehow never heard of RPF until like 5 years ago, but I was instantly intrigued. After reading some of his stuff (You must be joking, etc) he quickly became not only my favorite physicist, but also my role model and spiritual master xD The point is, I practically cheered when you put him alone in S-tier. :D I'll watch the rest now. Thanks for reading :)
Maxwell is versatile. His great contribution is not only in Physics, but also in Control Theory. His paper titled "On Governor" laid basis for further advancement of Control Engineering. My top 3 : Maxwell, Newton and Michael Faraday. Even Einstein admired these 3 that he had photographs of them on the wall in his working room.
Coming back three years later, as someone much closer to being a proper mathematician this is a very different video lmao. Interestingly enough, in terms of the rankings of the mathematicians (Noether, Lagrange, Hamilton...) I would say the ranking still holds. Except, Lagrange definitely should be A or B. But I am an algebraist and thus biased.
I believe Feynman was inspired to work on quantum electrodynamics after reading Dirac's book. He definitely deserves high placement for calling out the GOAT
Thats it andrew, after the years of watching you across 3 accounts, its finally over. I cannot support someone who bases their physics tier list on personal impact rather than their sex appeal. 0/10 unsubscribed, reported, and beaned. Im so ashamed!

My list is the same as yours except for Wheeler; I put him in C so my list is normally distributed
Einstein woulda put Maxwell higher :/
Among the three greatest men who ever lived
For me, they are
NEWTON
EINSTEIN
EULER
good video idea, you can make tier lkst for most cancerous subjects (thermodynamics and rigid body mechanics im looking at you!) or hardest or coolest
you forgot Landau, the man who literally spent his time assigning ratings to physicists
Lev Landau scale 👍👍
I think my only S would be Maxwell only for the fact that his equations in differential form looked so cool It made me want to learn calc 1 2 3 and differential equations in 2nd year of high school just so I can understand them.
Where my boi Lev Landau
He did not encounter the Course with a capital 'C'.
“That now makes two types of currents I don’t know how to build circuits out of.” This got me, as a PHYS major currently in a circuits class.
It's funny how your list with your focus on theory is so different from my list as an experimental physicist. I'm trying not to start my own list, because I will for sure waste too much time on it. :D
I'd have Einstein in S tier, he's the GOAT imo. I stan him what can I say?
I mean newton and my man would only stand alone in s tier , feyman himself has said how he stand upon those giants
Neumann? that guy had brain superpowers. or he was rather a mathematician
He should be next to Lagrange and Noether in honorary mathematician S tier.
I just started reading the Feynman Lectures on physics and wow... It took me 3 paragraphs to love him so deeply. xD F for ma boii Feynman.
ma
mẍ
Have a look around the torrents you'll find almost complete audio recordings of them zipped up. I used to fall asleep listening to them, then read the lecture the next day, they gave me a massive boost in my first year.
Ranking physicists and not including Newton. You seem like someone who really knows physics.
Smooch Pooch the thing is Newton is great but is also a douche, Andrew is probably rating them to his liking haha
@@AdrianChia531 No, he only used their achievements in the field of physics as a measurement in his whole video. And when it comes to achievements and contributions to physics, all the people he ranked here seem like little kids playing on the backyard when comparing them to Newton.
@Heisenberg-SchrodingerEmc2 Newton built everything from the ground. What the hell are you talking about? He discovered gravity, the laws of movement, the law of Energy conservation, the laws of work and action. He ivented calculus for christ sake. Not to mention his contributions to optik. He first discovered of what light cosists. You have absolutely no idea about physics. Einstein discovered the Photo-effect, solely on behalf of Planks work. He discovered SR, mainly based on the works of Maxwell and Lorenz. Then his Magnus Opus: GR. Mainly based on the works of Riemann and Minkowski. The today known inplications from GR are not even discovered by Einstein. The first Solutions of the Einsteins field equations are done by Schwarzschild. And after Quantum mechanics was discovered, he basically published just trash because he thought Quantum mechanics was wrong. After GR he contributed zero to physics. Now, this may sound all negative, but I am of course not denying his genious, since he was great at combining existing ideas. He was probably the best at it. But he was nowhere near the genious of Newton who came up with basically the whole physics. Sure, the math is easier in newton mechanics than GR, but the complexity of math is not a measurement wheather someone is smarter than the other. Math is just a tool used to describe reality. And by the way: Newton discovered with calculus the biggest field in mathematics (alongside with Leibnitz), while Einstein sended his papers to mathematicians because he was not able to solve the equations by its own. In his paper to SR his ex-wife did most of the math. That much as who was the better mathematician.
Stephen Hawking and Einstein would definitely be in S for me, there the reason I took Physics and Maths at A-Level and although I’ve strayed away from pure physics (Electronic Engineering Student) id definitely not be where I am now if it wasn’t for the countless Stephen Hawkins space documentaries I watched while I was growing up or trying to use E = mc^2 as a 12 year old who was still struggling to solve quadratic equations
I respect your ranking. I especially like where you put Noether, and what you said about her. Her theorem is a rare deep statement about the very nature of reality.
I think my list, which is more based on my level of respect rather than their actual influence on me, would start something like this:
S: Newton
A: Einstein, Noether
B: Feynman, Dirac, Maxwell
C: Boltzmann, Schrodinger, Bohr, Hypatia
...
You're telling me it's possible to be a theorist and an experimentalist at the same time? Where do I sign up?
too close to 100k, yay congratulation
The LorenTz force is a consequence of the lenght contraction, which is a consequence of the Lorentz Transformations.
That’s a pretty nice bell curve lol
I clicked on this only because, I was curious in what place have you put Feynman. Wasn't disappointed.
I really likes your laptop, Which model?
*_D I R A C_*
There's something about his name, it sounds intriguing
I mean, I would have added Neil bohr to the list,
the best format
for me btw s-Tier is definitely Hamilton for the Hamilton principle, it gives just such an essential connection between maths and phsics in my opinion and Einstein of corse, no words needed.
69k SUBS ... CONGRATULATIONS
Andrew: *blurs thumbnail so I can't see ranking*
Me: *Hovers over to preview*
Andrew: *Surprised pikachu face*
WHERE IS MY POOR GUY BOLTZMAN???
Along with Heisenberg, he is S-tier.
Countless students hold a grudge due to his association with "sadistical mechanics"
Peter Scott at UC Santa Cruz introduced me to non-linear systems and chaos in 1983 Classical Mechanics course while analysing and demonstrating the Duffing Oscillator.
He put the "WOW" back into Physics: non-linear, macroscopic mechanical objects are intractable!
It looks like we'll be busy for a while.
Here because of keystone science... this is the first video of yours I'm going to watch, I suspect its going to be a controversial one 👍
I’d definitely get a shirt that says “Feynman is my mom.” Just sayin’. ;)
Imagine if you put Feynman in F tier as a meme and lost literally every single one of your subscribers overnight.
gotta include newton. S tier. Insane. Imagine coming up with the concepts of most of our physical observables without almost any of the scaffolding there before you. Like energy seems like an intuitive concept now, but how the hell would you come up with that if no one had explained it to you?
I don't know if you ranked them on the basis of their contribution or on the basis of " who is my favourite " no one and "literally" no one can put plank, Maxwell and Einstein below fienmann( his work become possible because of all three of them).
NO BEARD
Excuse me, Neil Degrass Tyson ?
I trusted you. Not only did you put Hawking above Noether , you put them all on the same level as some.. big mouthed know it all
He's alive
Hey Andrew. Can you give me some tips on starting physics. I start university next September and I want somewhat prepare
Lorendz I believe was the one who said that the magnetic field of a magnetic object, when you put it in a magnetic field will B less than the one the field generates
No Boltzmann
I thought h was given to us by Max Plank, but he didn't know what he had. He thought it was just a mathematical trick to solve the ultraviolet catastrophe. Then Albert Einstein in his first publication on the photo electric effect said no, it's real Max, light is quantized. Albert won a Nobel prize for that paper.
@@dreggory82 well Planck used h as a proportionality constant. It was later after Heisenberg uncertainty principle was discovered that people realised the constant Gibbs used to derive the partition function was effectively the same since part of the process was to take the limit ∆x∆p/h→dxdp/h in order to switch the sum to an integral.
@Heisenberg-SchrodingerEmc2 that's what I said tho
Papa Dotson still looks sexy even without the beard. ❤️
Did you switch courses, from biology to physics, or did a second bachelor?
I finished economics this year and I am thinking of either doing a Masters or study physics
What are your thoughts on this?
Andrew, I'm facing a dilemma. As much as a I want pi to equal 3, at the end of the day, it just doesn't. What I'm trying to say is, I'm an engineering student, but I feel like I would be more passionate about studying physics. I'm not sure what to do
I swear if feynman isnt s tier...
Pretty sure all of the 9 engineers (including me) watching your video freaked out when you put Tesla at D rank.
the guy who wrote my physics 1 and 2 book. He knew everything.
I would’ve loved to see Pauli, Bohr, Heisenberg and De Brougle and of course Newton here. But may just be my love for quantum mechanics
Hi. My name is Professor Layman, and I only watched up to 1:40 so far. I have no formal higher education, but I've always been interested in physics nonetheless. My self education is limited to like a half-dozen books and like a half-dozen hours of YT videos. I somehow never heard of RPF until like 5 years ago, but I was instantly intrigued. After reading some of his stuff (You must be joking, etc) he quickly became not only my favorite physicist, but also my role model and spiritual master xD
The point is, I practically cheered when you put him alone in S-tier. :D I'll watch the rest now. Thanks for reading :)
:)
S: Newton, Einstein
You can rank the rest wherever you’d like.
I think that much is certain.
Maxwell is versatile. His great contribution is not only in Physics, but also in Control Theory. His paper titled "On Governor" laid basis for further advancement of Control Engineering.
My top 3 : Maxwell, Newton and Michael Faraday.
Even Einstein admired these 3 that he had photographs of them on the wall in his working room.
Coming back three years later, as someone much closer to being a proper mathematician this is a very different video lmao. Interestingly enough, in terms of the rankings of the mathematicians (Noether, Lagrange, Hamilton...) I would say the ranking still holds. Except, Lagrange definitely should be A or B. But I am an algebraist and thus biased.
>Planck godfather of QM
>has a constant named after him
>B tier
WAT
"Michio kaku" had already left everything..
He is a joke
@@yaoooy why?
At 16:55 if you rotate the Gaussian distribution by 90 grades to the left, it seems like it's giving the middle finger
I believe Feynman was inspired to work on quantum electrodynamics after reading Dirac's book. He definitely deserves high placement for calling out the GOAT
Perfectly balanced. As all things should be.
Thats it andrew, after the years of watching you across 3 accounts, its finally over. I cannot support someone who bases their physics tier list on personal impact rather than their sex appeal. 0/10 unsubscribed, reported, and beaned. Im so ashamed!
Ummm biochem major here, I get the most of your list, but why no Newton? Were his contributions not that impactful after all?
Gabrielle Paffumi I feel like I made it clear that this was mostly based on personal influence and not scientific contribution
aren't the lorentz force and lorentz transformation from the same guy? or am i mistaken
