tesla????
This is really sad, they'll never know how loved they are today.
Alfred Wegener, died 1930, originator of the theory of continental drift by hypothesizing in 1912, which was not approved until 1960.
According to Wikipedia, Wegener was then recognized as the founding father of one of the major scientific revolutions of the 20th century.
At first they say "people who became famous because of their death dont count" but if Anne Frank didn´t die that early she wouldn´t have become famous…
Van Gogh so famous for his painting and psych issues and death actually led to song about it.
W.A.Mozart ??
and me too
Awesome video :))
The best list I've seen so far – and I've been watching this channel for more than a year. Kudos to whoever researched this topic. These are names that need to be remembered.
Where's Jesus on this list?
Tesla?
Karl Marx?
what about Tesla?!
Professor Gregor Mendel is awesome!
I find the lack of Phillip K. Dick in this video and comment section appalling.
Really good list, but maybe Democritus should be on here too. He was a chemist who believed that everything could be broken down into unbreakable atoms of a particular element, but was never famous because Aristotle instead supported a chemist who believed everything was broken down into earth, wind, water, and fire
Anyone else find it funny that a guy named "Lovecraft" wrote horror stories?
Not that writers have to center their creations around their names, but come on–if Lovecraft isn't the perfect name for an author who pens romance tales of all genres, I don't know what is!
Just to correct say:vin-sent-van-gof
so bach died not knowing his music were in infamey and van gogh goes mad not knowing his art was cool? really sad
where am I?
Who else came for Vincent Van Gogh?
I would have mentioned Bram Stoker, he's more famous than most on this list. He lived in obscurity when alive. But after his death that his novel Dracula was really discovered by the masses and launched him into the stratosphere. They even have awards named after him now.
Well… Bach was pretty famous during his lifetime and after his death he was quickly forgotten, before we rediscover him again
where the heck is Christopher Columbus
Love the way she can't pronounce Vincent Van Gogh right hahaha
