2) A must confirm which answer is correct.
3) Person (say B) with confirmed correct answer then asks the next question.
4) A cannot play again until B's turn is over (to prevent the thread turning into a 2 person spam party).

Who am I? I was famous in my time as a physician, and indeed was the Royal Physician to two successive monarchs. However, I am now best known for my endeavors in an entirely different area, one which I advanced so far that little was added in that particular area for two centuries. I also studied not only studied something related but named it. Even more important, the methods I used lead some commentators to call me the first scientist.
 
Hm... William Harvey?
 
No. This guy has a unit of measurement named after him.
 
No. Newton was never a medical doctor. This person predates him, and Galileo who I guess would be the second scientist.
 
All wrong. One of his observations in his major field of discovery was about the earth itself.
 
My wild guess: Avoirdupois?
