Werner Heisenberg 

Werner Heisenberg was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in Physics in 1932 he discovered the underlying principles of quantum mechanics the rules that govern the behavior of subatomic particles this completely changed our understanding that light and atoms all simultaneously act like waves his principle states that it is impossible to perfectly note with a particles position and velocity this was revolutionary because it rejected the idea held by classical physics that physical phenomena are uniquely tied to actions by deterministic casual laws and the observables are independent of the observer.

 Enrico Fermi 

 Enrico Fermi was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in Physics in 1942 he's commonly known as the father of the atomic bomb for building the prototype of a nuclear reactor and working to develop the world's first atomic bomb this invention drastically changed the way wars are fought today ground troops are used much less and hundreds of thousands of people can be killed by a single bomb this has resulted in millions of deaths since one was first used in World War two in numerous series nuclear conflicts such as the cold war.

 Albert Einstein

 Albert Einstein was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in Physics in 1921 he had many discoveries as a scientist but is most known for his theory of relativity in this he determined that the laws of physics are the same for all non accelerating observers and he showed that the speed of light within a vacuum is the same no matter the speed at which an observer travels his work led to development and advancements in satellites GPS systems and the ultimate understanding of nuclear power and our planet.

 James Watson Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins.

James Watson Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins were all awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in Physiology or medicine in 1962 these scientists along with the work of rosalind Franklin discovered DNA in its double helix structure due to their discoveries we are now able to diagnose diseases early better assess a person's genetic susceptibility to specific disease and therefore formulate brand new drugs to treat these diseases we are also able to determine the paternity of children solve complex crime situations and produce more nutritious food in our farms these advancements have helped save countless lives every year and improve the overall quality of life for billions worldwide. 

Mary Curie 

 Mary Curie was the first woman to win a Nobel Peace Prize in Physics in 1903 which she shared with her husband she was also awarded a second in 1911 only this time in chemistry becoming the first individual to win - she and her husband Pierre was scientists who work tirelessly in the lab and eventually discovered the element radium and quanta term radioactivity it is because of this discovery that people today are able to cure cancer and other illnesses she helps with countless amounts of lives such as the 1 million plus soldiers in World War two were x-rayed for injuries not only is her work continuing to save millions of lives today but also inspires women everywhere to pursue tasks of any level regardless of the social moment.
