Einstein vs. Isaac Newton vs. Charles Darwin vs. Euclid vs. Copernicus

I've compared some of the most influential, revolutionary scientists of all time (Google Trends):


Scale is based on the average worldwide traffic of "isaac newton" in all years.
einstein 5.35
"isaac newton" 1.00
"charles darwin" 0.75
euclid 0.55
copernicus 0.45

Einstein dwarfs everybody else: he is truly the iconic scientist. However, his impact makes it hard to distinguish the other four. Let's look at them separately:

Even more pronounced than before, we can spot a seasonal aspect to the Google-interest in science: summertime and Christmas are outspoken "unscientific." The possibility that the interest in science is gradually declining is also more apparent in this graph. Finally, people are more interested in Newton and Darwin, closer to our own cultural framework than Euclid and Copernicus.
