Kudos for all of your work on your thesis lately! I figured I'd give you some dissertation inspiration. Hence, three dissertations that changed the world. In no particular order.
Linus Torvalds-- for his Master's thesis, Torvalds created the Linux kernel that allowed opensource software to you know...actually work. Hence why it's called LINux. (Or if your Richard Stallman, GNU/Linux ) He's now a millionaire.

Claude Shannon's master's thesis was about boolean logic and how it could be applied to electrical circuitry to form logic gates (i.e. Binary). This is essentially tantamount to inventing the computer. Here's a round of virtual O'Douls for making the modern era possible, Mr. Shannon, we're glad you earned your hood.

| de Broglie would be played by Charlie Chaplin. |
Louis de Broglie changed our understanding of the fundamental nature of matter in his 1924 thesis. He posited Wave-Particle Duality, and despite the lackluster approval of his thesis committee, earned both his degree and a Nobel Prize for Physics.
