Lev Landau’s List

Origin
Lev Landau was a Soviet physicist who made fundamental contributions to many areas of theoretical physics. His body of work included research into diamagnetism, superfluidity, neutrinos and quantum mechanics. He received the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physics for his development of a mathematical theory of superfluidity that accounts for the properties of liquid helium II at a temperature below 2.17 K (−270.98 °C).

Landau kept a list of renowned physicists that he ranked on a scale of productivity from 0 to 5. The highest ranking, 0, was assigned to Isaac Newton, while Albert Einstein was ranked 0.5; Landau ranked himself from a 2 to 2.5.

Effects
Allows a scientist to gain quantum/molecular control over a specific branch or law of physics, ranging from temperature to gravity. The effects are normally related to their research or most important discovery. When their name is written on the paper, it will briefly reveal the other user’s names and then fade away to leave the original candidates.
