Ding! Ding!

I think we have a winner!!

The nuclear bomb dramatically changed the political landscape and started the cold war. The cold war was the main event of the post WWII world and by proxy the person who made the atomic bomb is the most influential person in the past 50 (or so) years. The only problem is that it wasn't really a single person who made the bomb. Einstien showed it could be done, others theorized how to cause the reaction and others made it into a bomb. Take any of several men out of the picture and the bomb may not have been a reality. In that regard they are all equally inflential.
