" Name a composer from 1300s or 1100s."
There were no composers then ...
Musical theory only developed during the renaissance and was basically formalized by the baroques i.e. Bach - and Moazart/Beethoven mastered it.
Music as we understand it really didn't exist before that. No real way to write it down, no way to create complex arrangements.
Italians thought of it, Germans formalized it and then mastered it. Nobody has pushed it much further since.
---> Scientists ...
Aristotle, Plato, Archimedes - not Scientists, but I get what you are saying - again I'd suggest that these are 'fundamentalists'. Founders of rational thought.
Newton = foundations of classical physics.
There are 1000x more Scientists alive today than ever before, and the only one we're going to remember is from 300 years ago? Point being - maybe there are no easy/major discoveries to be made so nobody will be remembered. Who will be remembered for CERN? Probably nobody.
