It was Newton. He had to invent ALL his tools. Yep. A recent survey of physicists rated Einstein ahead of Newton. I do no agree with that - he stands head an shoulders above them all including Einstein. I believe he is also the greatest mathematical of all time - but the issue is less clear cut - Gauss has a good claim as well. The order of my top 6 is - Newton, Einstein, Maxwell, Feynman, Landau and Dirac. But that is only my opinion. Thanks Bill
