You must have forgotten that Niels Bohr was an olympic athlete as well as a nobel prize winner in physics.

[psykotic]

You're confusing the physicist Niels with his mathematician brother Harald. Niels did play soccer but never on the national team.

[rational-future]

Yeah, never mind the 99.99% of Nobel winners that aren't/weren't athletes.

[remarkEon]

The point was that being a tremendous athlete and an intellectual/scientist aren't mutually exclusive.

Edit: Also, astronauts.

So there's that.
