External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified 2 external links on G. I. Taylor. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20060103014541/http://modular.mit.edu:8080/ramgen/ifluids/Low_Reynolds_Number_Flow.rm to http://modular.mit.edu:8080/ramgen/ifluids/Low_Reynolds_Number_Flow.rm
Corrected formatting/usage for http://etc13.fuw.edu.pl/historical-turbulence

One of the most notable scientists of the 20th Century[edit]

This description of him is the opinion of one of his students (not an unbiased observer) and perhaps a couple other people. I don't think it's true and should be deleted. As a physicist and amateur science historian, I can list many physicists more notable (Einstein, Dirac, Bohr, Heisenberg, Oppenheimer, Fermi, Curie, J. J. Thomson, Planck, Chadwick, Feynmann, Weinberg for example, and scads of equals. And in chemistry and other scientific fields there are more eminent ones, and many many equals. Being in the top 100 is not "one of the most notable". I'm going to wait a week for comments, then delete or change to "a notable". Dr.gregory.retzlaff (talk) 22:22, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
