These nerds don't care what you think, they just want to get their science on.
Tycho Brahe (1546 - 1601)
Achievements: Catalogued of over 1000 stars and paved the way for future discoveries by improving many instruments used in his field.
This wealthy badass astronomer partied in his castle, on his private island, with his pet moose (until the moose apparently fell down a flight of stairs after consuming alcohol). When Tycho lost most of his nose in a duel over a mathematics equation, he simply put a gold plate over it.
Yes, he partied in a mansion with a moose and a blinged out face. Oh ,and he was the most important astronomical observer of the sixteenth century.

He may have not been completely on target with the whole earth orbiting the sun concept, but he had attitude! You go Tycho.

Nikola Tesla (1856-1943)
Achievements: Invented the alternating-current generator that provides light and electricity, the transformer through which it is sent, and even the high voltage coil used in television sets.
Nikola was the ultimate mad scientist, meaning he was both slightly insane and terrifyingly smart. He held 700 patents at the time of his death yet he passed away penniless and in major debt. He once melted one of his assistants' hands by overloading it with X-rays, like a badass. His experiments were risky and dangerous, if there was one man who could have single-handedly destroyed the planet, it's this guy. You crazy Nikola!
