Isaac Newton is great, but you are exaggerating a bit there. Calculus as we know it today was really invented by Leibniz, we use his notation and all. Newton also invented it, but published later than Leibniz. According to some of the stories told at the back of "a brief history of time" newton was an as$hole.

Not all of those three laws were his sole invention. Really it was the greeks who wrot the book on maths.

Every single one of us. Because due to some law of physics that was touched on in one of the Back to the Futures............or somesuch. If you take matter away then the world would fall in to total chaos. Up would become down, black would become white.

On topic: Hitler.

To everyone not saying Isaac Newton, you're all wrong!

The man wrote the book on Maths, and pretty much invented calculus, he 'discovered' gravity and came up with the 3 laws of motion which are still largely valid today.

Science as we know it we owe to him.

Yeah but was he a wall street executive who had everything going for him but then became a carrot, like Rob Schneider?
