I'm sure many of the famous astronomers before him like Edwin Hubble, Harlow Shapley, James Jeans (mentioned by person in an interview) where all important to his work.  Check out some of his papers in the Astrophysical Journal or the Astronomical Jounal and check who the references are.

Walter Sickert\n\nI recommend the below book, very informative and interesting.

Original quote was by Dr. William W. Purkey, an internationally recognized leader in the theory and practice of making schools and classrooms inviting places to learn, and the co-founder of the International Alliance for Invitational Education, an organization of more than 1200 individuals who believe that schools should be engaging places where students enjoy learning.\n\nIt was made popular in the song "Come From The Heart" written by Susannah Clark and Richard Leigh.

There has already been an unsuccessful attempt in the UK courts by the publishers of HBHG to sue him.\n\nThe central hypothesis has been around for many years in different guises ... I doubt anyone could claim the original idea - there is even ancient theological texts that mention it.\n\nPeace out\n\nADDITIONAL\n\nIn answer to response above, DB did not acknowledge the authors of HBHG - he made one reference to the book (it wasn't even clear if it was a real book) but did not state the authors ... he did use their names in anagram form for the main character though!

Humphrey Microscope.\n\nSeriously, it's usually credited to Leewenhoek.

Carl Linneaus and Ernst Haekel were very important too. They contributed to our understanding of the life around us.

How about Madame Curie...would that be helpful? I was going to suggest Charles Darwin, but noticed someone already answered...

The other possibility [besides the Big Bang] was Fred Hoyle's steady state model in which new matter would be created as the galaxies moved away from each other. In this model, the universe is roughly the same at any point in time. It was actually Hoyle who coined the name of Lemaître's theory, referring to it sarcastically as "this 'big bang' idea" during a 1949 BBC radio program, The Nature of Things, the text of which was published in 1950.

Rene Descartes (the Cartesian coordinate plane plus many other contributions)\n\nPierre de Fermat\n\nBlaise Pascal\n\nLook them up. That can get you started. Personally, I'm going to bed.

I think you mean Frederick Griffiths.  He took two strains of _Streptococcus pneumoniae_.  One was deadly, one wasn't.  He found that if he killed the deadly cells, then mixed them with the harmless cells, the harmless ones would become deadly.  This indicated that the stuff that made the deadly strain deadly was not alive and could be transferred to another cell (i.e., it was chemical in nature).  We now know that the stuff he theorized is DNA.

Hannibal Lechter.\n\nSo courteous. So erudite :-))
