Michael Faraday... grew up in poverty, received no formal education beyond the age of 13, largely self-taught, knew no mathematics beyond basic algebra, dined with the servants once he finally got on as a Humphry Davy research assistant, made the most important experimental physics discovery in the history of the world (electromagnetic induction) and principle that serves as the foundation for all practical use of electric power regardless of energy source being used, invented the first form of the electric motor, generator and transformer, turned down a knighthood over a century before it was cool, told the British government to go fuck themselves when they wanted assistance into chemical weapons research... and coined the term "ion".
