I think this man would have to be the smartest person to have ever walked the planet followed closely by Tesla.

Sir Issac Newton gave us the reflecting telescope and hence we call it a Newtonian Telescope...for that alone he deserves the top shelf but his gravity guides our space craft today...and I get very upset when you get the occassional relativist making out he was wrong and I have even seen stuff where they make fun of him...very uncalled for.

It is a pity that he spent so much of his life involved with religion as who knows what he could have produced if he had not wasted so much time with religious pursuits.

He certainly seems to be our very first scientist.
He invented calculus as if it were a mere sideline.

How clever and how dedicated to learning for learning sake.

He also sorted out the money which is an extrodinary achievement in itself and off the top of my head I think invented the gold standard...mmm I must look into that because I dont know where I got that or even what is meant by gold standard...further research.

If you have never read about this man may I suggest to take the time and learn all about his most extrodinary life and his unrivalled mind.

Who knows his fathers name?
