Top 10 Birthdays of Famous Physicists

This list is being inspired by Positronwildhawk's list of Top 10 Birthdays of popular Toptenners so this is why the creation of this lovely list!
The Top Ten
1 Albert Einstein (March 14, 1879) Albert Einstein (14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist, widely acknowledged to be one of the greatest and most influential physicists of all time. Einstein is best known for developing the theory of relativity, but he also made important contributions to the development of the theory of quantum mechanics. Relativity and quantum mechanics are together the two pillars of modern physics. His mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2, which arises from relativity theory, has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation". His work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science. He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical ...read more.
2 Richard Feynman (May 11, 1918) Richard Phillips Feynman was an American theoretical physicist known for his work in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics, and the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, as well as in particle physics for which he proposed the ...read more.
3 Isaac Newton (January 4, 1643) Sir Isaac Newton PRS was an English physicist and mathematician who is widely recognised as one of the most influential scientists of all time and a key figure in the scientific revolution.
4 James Clerk Maxwell (June 13, 1831)
5 Ernest Rutherford (August 30, 1871) Ernest Rutherford, 1st Baron Rutherford of Nelson, was a New Zealand physicist who became known as the father of nuclear physics.
6 Niels Bohr (October 7, 1885) Niels Henrik David Bohr was a Danish physicist who made foundational contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum theory, for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922. Bohr was also a philosopher and a promoter of scientific research.
7 Max Planck (April 3, 1858) Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck was a German quantum physicist who was born on April 23, 1858 in Kiel, Germany. He is best known for winning a Nobel prize on the field of physics in 1918 and he published his own well known book called treatise on thermodynamics. His accomplishments was for being elected into the royal society by foreign membership in 1926 and was being the Copley medal in 1928 and was... read more
8 Werner Heisenberg (December 5, 1901) Werner Karl Heisenberg was a German theoretical physicist and one of the key pioneers of quantum mechanics.
9 Erwin Schrodinger (August 12, 1887) Erwin Rudolf Josef Alexander Schrödinger, sometimes written as Erwin Schrodinger or Erwin Schroedinger, was a Nobel Prize-winning Austrian physicist who developed a number of fundamental results in the field of quantum theory, which formed the basis of wave mechanics: he formulated the wave equation ...read more.
