> Poincaré was nominated a record 51 times for the Nobel Prize but never won. I feel Poincaré did a lot of good work in physics but he was not... a closer, I guess. He (along with other people) had the basics of relativity on their hands in the early 1900s, but for whatever reason it was Einstein who published the fully-formed conclusions of that whole collective process of exploration. Poincaré did a lot of great work in math. I think of him as primarily a mathematician. > Tesla Great engineer, but I don't see how he belongs here.
