      It's probably the case that there are no scientists besides maybe Einstein (E = mc^2) and Newton (apple falling from the tree -> gravity) that the general public would be able to identify by name and refer to one thing that very roughly approximates what they did. Who knows though, given the public's enthusiasm for modern tech and its stars (Jobs, Musk, Gates, Bezos, etc.) maybe one day scientists' work might make a "Casey's Top 40"-like popular countdown if presented the right way! Till then there's always Epic Rap Battles of History, here's Einstein vs. Hawking (120 million views): this video

      I find their rap battle performances more compelling: Einstein (v Stephen Hawking): this video Oppenheimer (v Thanos): [LINK]
