archimedes is superior just for the fact that nobody surpassed his Quadrature of the Parabola until integral calculus came into play.

>Quadrature of the Parabola
Well, call me a brainlet but I never knew he invented that algorithm. I have to say, it's amazing. To think that the Greeks were doing this shit 2300 years ago and today people still aren't able of comprehending basic mathematics despite the fact that we're bombarded with information and we can access any book in the world almost instantly.

its not really an interesting question because most of the work scientists do is limited by the current state of the art and available technology. they are brilliant people don't get me wrong but usually the people with really staggering genius aren't scientists, or when they are that genius is not reflected in their work as scientists
