European map of most famous physicists according to Wikipedia

I used the Open Wikipedia Ranking and a bit of manual filtering, sometimes Google was used for smaller countries.

Corrections: I did not thought this was going to blow up (mostly Poles complaining), I'll make a new version in the future. Here are the most common requests:

  • Curie move it to Poland, put Laplace in France
  • Hamilton over Stokes in Ireland
  • Maxwell in Scotland, who do we put in Wales and Northern Island?
  • Einstein for Heisenberg in Germany
  • Sakharov for Prokhorov in Russia
  • Lemaître over Englert in Belgium
  • Zeldovich over Alferov in Belarus
  • Lenz over Öpik in Estonia
  • Moldova is missing.
  • Remove Tesla, who do you want in Serbia?
