Newton (for what hea most well known for at least) aint all that special imo. If not him somebody else would have came to the same conclusion as him. I mean the idea that some kinda force is what draws objects to the ground and keeps us on the ground seems so common sense. Just nobody before him decided to really think too deeply about it I guess.

Bro, ask any physicist today and they'll tell you it's insane what newton was able to calculate given the instruments and experiments available at the time.

There's a wide level of agreement that he may have been one of the smartest people ever to live in any timeframe, even though much of what he discovered turned out to be incorrect.
