		 Hans Albrecht Bethe forever changed the way every man, woman and child on the planet thinks when he invented the atomic bomb.  I doubt there is not a person on the planet that doesn't know what nukes are or what they can do.  That's influence.  It's anonymous influence, but that wasn't part of the original question as I read it. 
 
He was the commencement speaker when I graduated college.  Facinating guy.
