11) Niels Bohr
One of the pioneers of modern Quantum theory and the atomic structure, Niels Bohr won the 1922 Nobel prize in physics .Bohr was also a philosopher and a promoter of scientific research.
12) Werner Heisenberg
Heisenberg is best known for his uncertainty principle and theory of quantum mechanics, which he published at the age of twenty-three in 1925. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1932 for his subsequent research and application of this principle.
13) Abdus Salam
Abdus Salam was the first Pakistani and the first from an Islamic country to receive a Nobel Prize in science and the second from an Islamic country to receive any Nobel Prize.
14) Wolfgang Pauli
Wolfgang Pauli, theoretical physicist and recipient of the 1945 Nobel Prize for Physics for his discovery in 1925 of the "Pauli exclusion principle", which states that in an atom no two electrons can occupy the same quantum state simultaneously.
15) Stephen Hawking
Stephen Hawking was a scientist known for his work with black holes and relativity, and the author of popular science books like 'A Brief History of Time.'
16) Erwin Schrödinger
Erwin Schrödinger, theoretical physicist who contributed to the wave theory of matter and to other fundamentals of quantum mechanics. He shared the 1933 Nobel Prize for Physics with British physicist P.A.M. Dirac.
17) Steven Weinberg
Steven Weinberg (1933 - 2021) played a significant role in formulating and establishing theoretical physics’ two standard models - the standard model of fundamental interactions and the standard model of cosmology.
18) Peter Higgs
Physicist who gave his name to the Higgs boson particle. Peter Higgs is a Nobel Prize-winning particle physicist who has made invaluable contributions to our understanding of the Universe on the smallest scales.
19) C.V. Raman
He was the first Asian to receive a Nobel prize in science, following the discovery of a light scattering effect called "Rama effect" that has since become a key characterization tool in materials science.
20) J. Robert Oppenheimer
J. Robert Oppenheimer is often called the "father of the atomic bomb" for leading the Manhattan Project, the program that developed the first nuclear weapon during World War II.

Sad that all of these great minds were led astray. Electromagnetism unifies everything, nothing else matters. Gravity? 🤣 just the electromagnetic force.
@thePiggsBoson
Amazing thread . Very informative and interesting. Just curious why do you call Raman Asian and not Indian or Hindu . But you call a scientist Pakistani. Are their any subtexts that I am missing?
