the big valuable technological and intellectual leaps of the early 20th century were the invention of powered flight and antibiotics. plate tectonics was good too, so was color film and talkies, pluto was a big deal. goddard isn't in the pic, he was probably too busy doing useful hands on experimenting to be bothered getting gussied up and coifed for a publicity photo.
ppl in op are all big name do nothings, they got their names on some useless questions and constants and nothing else. if they had intellectual potential it was mostly wasted compared to the bigger brains of the era
