Giordano Bruno, philosopher and scientist, burnt at the stake 400 years ago
- ben_w 4y agoAlso: Einstein, Feynman, Aristotle, all famously not Christian, and that's just off the top of my head and limited to Western culture. A westerner not knowing Hasan Ibn al-Hatham, Zhang Heng, and Aryabhata is less surprising (I learned their names in the last 15 minutes), but I think one ought to at least look for counterexamples before asserting any particular culture to be "better" at a thing.
