The concept of greatness is a subjective human notion. So just
like ‘beauty’, ‘greatness’ is in the eye of the beholder.
OTOH, science is supposed to be objective.

If you have included those exceptional thinkers such as Drs.
Richard Feynman, Stephen Hawking, Kip Thorne, etc., in
your list, there is one person and/or persons I suggest you
seriously consider adding if you have not already done so.

This is the late Dr. Robert H. Dicke of Princeton University,
his associates (especially Dr. P. J. E. Peebles) and their
students. This is because Dr. Dicke and his associates are the
only great thinkers since Galileo and Newton to reject the
Philosophy of Idealism, and adhere to the ‘Laws of Nature’
(not the human invented laws and principles of physics)
demonstrated by Natural Phenomenon. In other words; Dicke,
et. al. employed what is demonstrated by Nature in the natural
universe (i.e., what is ‘out there’, e.g., the CMBR), and what
is demonstrated as Natural Phenomenon during and by
empirical experiments (e.g., the ‘modern Eotvos experiment’
that demonstrated that the mass of a body is isotropic, that is:
‘mass is an invariant’ in the words of post Einsteinian
Relativity) to formulate their notions, concepts, and theories.

Science had to judge Albert Einstein when he was right about Quantum
Mechanics all along.

he grow up sorrounded by energy from his friends,
SCIENCE teachers and family that worked with
light. he hated teology and anything that could
distract him from his passions.

like a surfer loves a great wave, he use to
seat down and lite up his pipe to watch trains
ride on. everything from big clocks,magnets,
his violin and light itself froze him in time.

absolutely
the nazis ruined everything
anybody that knew einstein in real life
knows that all his charms and great
laughter was german&jewish in nature

Einstein was not a cultural phenomenon.

No comment on how he didn't give any credit to his first wife for helping
him with math, or how he's famous for the work of others? Or how he was
an obstacle to progress in quantum mechanics and to cosmology due to his
bigoted and irrational objections?

Humm...
