The USA is starting needless conflicts, there's an uprising against an occupying force, and I'm terrified for everyone I care about and here in Ireland, I start teaching ethics soon. I just requested approval for my first study on chemical education. We survive on small joys. #ITeachChem ⚗️ #ChemEd

Question for everyone: I have a vague recollection of hearing someone say “<Person> was probably the last person to know/understand all of science” - Where “science” refers to the knowledge at the time of that person’s existence.

Is anyone familiar with the quote, or failing that, would anyone like to make the case for a worthy candidate?

Would we have to go back to Aristotelian times, or would Isaac Newton or Ben Franklin make the grade? Keep in mind, I’m not just looking for a smart person, I’m looking for a polymath that had understanding across the sciences.

This is going to open up the question of which sciences to include, of course… For example, I think astrology can be included (the old version that actually cared where the planets were, not the modern “for entertainment purposes only” stuff), as there was a real drive to observe and build predictive models behind the questionable divination motive. Psychology is probably excluded simply because by the time it arrived, science was too broad for one person to comprehend everything.

Please repost/boost with more hashtags - I know I’ll miss a few.
