Forgetting about Hypatia, Katherine Johnson, Madam Curie, Lisa Randall, Chien-shiung Wu and lots of others.

I actually knew that but was honoring academic women in general. They are ALL noble😉

Kudos! A change in tone is needed in these Forums. (From myself as well.)

Except for the Debates Forum, which is necessarily, an indulgence in sheer socio-politico combat. 😆

It is true I suppose, but only because men ruled the world back then. Women were considered property and were rarely educated to the extent men were. They were expected to stay home and raise children for the most part.
That doesn't mean it was fair, but that is the way it was.

No, physics only exists if physicists, male physicists, are around to experiment on it.

It's all relative. I have in fact a relative who has a Phd in physics😉

You left out Emmy Noether, her eponymous theorem, that a symmetry implies a conserved charge, is to all intents and purposes the fundamental theorem of physics.
