Re: Bring someone back from the dead
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] I think a scientific figure wouldn't be all that helpful if you want them to actually do good science. They would need to study so much, and would be 35 or so by the time they could even start doing anything at the forefront of their field, by which time they would mostly be over the hill . I'd rather have some political figure. [/ QUOTE ] How old are you? This statement is incredible far from true regarding a scientist. [/ QUOTE ] I'm 21. Name some scientists that did their best work post 35. I'm talking revolutionary, cutting edge work here.

Are you taking this statement from the movie Proof with Gwynneth Paltrow and Anthony Hopkins?

It's possible that there's just only so many good ideas they can have and that it could happen post 35 just as easily, but it seems most were done by then for the most part.
