All were second-tier physicists. The Bohr model was incomplete. Oppenheimer just did calculations for a living. Feynman invented QED, but it took Dyson to actually formalize all his calculations into a proper theory. Fermi is similar to Oppenheimer.

So to answer your question, pretty much every top tier physicist today with the exception of people like Witten, Rovelli and Thiemann who actually make an effort in creating frameworks rather than mindlessly calculating things like automatons.

Feynman was peak, you’re right about the rest though.

Feynman is highly overrated mostly due to his public persona. Schwinger mogged him in every aspect.

when its about the roads down to fundamental physics, matter became so wide and difficult that its like 200 heads now.
two of them might be a little outstanding atm (like in the last 5 years) but its not like in those old days when its was just a bunch of them.
science now is so much more complex, the division into disciplines is an ongoing process.
in the beginning there was talk of universal geniuses, now we have thousands of specialists.

Fermi was a top tier physicist on par with Feynman. Bohr had at least one good idea. Oppenheimer was a hack.

nobody ever seem to talk about fermi but for me he was one of the greatest for his rough estimate calculations.
I read that he was present at the trinity test and kind of a weirdo lurking around but not doing small talk.
and while the others watched the incidents he has made scraps of paper.
in the moment of the explosion he waited until the pressure wave approached threw the scraps into the air, carefully watched them and then said
>about 10 kilotons
when I read that, he became my hero.

Your video shows precisely what I’m talking about. Feynman was great at calculating things, but terrible at putting things together in a sensible framework. You can see this in his Lectures on Gravity. The foreword states that the latter part of the lectures were discarded as he couldn’t progress much further. His introduction and derivation of the Einstein-Hilbert action is very impressive, but he got bogged down when it came to quantization. He was one of the first people to show the need for ghosts in Yang-Mills theory and gravity, but got mogged by other physicists soon after, because no matter how good you are at calculating, your lack of rigor would show at some point or another.

This, but also Twum.
The pic in OP is just a group of chosenites who never accomplished anything of meaningful value in science and who only got famous because of their brethren who control the media. None of them have any sort of legacy based on the usefulness of their work, they only have 'I'm smart because the New York Times says so'
If they were legitimately intelligent then the microwave oven wouldn't have been discovered accidentally by radar mechanics

+1 for Elon, but Peterson is cringe. Maybe Sam Harris for modern day philosopher.
