Britain has produced some properly brilliant minds over the centuries. Time to rank the ones whose work still gives you that 'wow' moment today.
Put the items in your preferred order.
Sir Isaac Newton
From gravity to the laws of motion, Newton basically wrote the rulebook for how the universe behaves. Not bad for a bloke from Lincolnshire.
Charles Darwin
His voyage on the Beagle and theory of evolution by natural selection turned biology on its head. Still ruffling feathers in some corners today.

Rosalind Franklin
Her X-ray work was crucial to cracking the double helix, though she didn't get her flowers in time. A proper scientific icon finally getting her due.

Stephen Hawking
Made cosmology accessible to millions through 'A Brief History of Time' while pushing the boundaries of theoretical physics. A genuine national treasure.
Alan Turing
Helped end WWII at Bletchley Park and laid the groundwork for the computer you're reading this on. Long overdue recognition for a true genius.
