Thomas Young (scientist)

Thomas Young (June 13, 1773 – May 10, 1829) was an English scientist and researcher. He is sometimes considered to be The Last Person to Know Everything: that is, he was familiar with virtually all the Western academic knowledge at that point in history. Clearly this can never be verified, and other claimants to this title are Gottfried Leibniz, Leonardo da Vinci and Francis Bacon, amongst others.
