My physics teacher from way back liked saying that Einstein thought of Newton in the same way we think of Einstein, I don't think it's unreasonable to say Newton was more of a genius than Einstein.

The calculus Leibniz and Newton invented were different. Leibniz worked on integration, Newton on differentiation. It was discovered only later that the two were connected, I believe.

>inventing calculus
Ancient greeks knew areas and volumes. Descartes and Fermat knew tangents. Liebniz did calculus with good notation and found pi/4. Newton pretty much copied from barrow, who copied from fermat. All newton ever did on his own was derivatives for fluid equations. You can take newton out of the equation and it wouldn't make a difference. Newton's physics is what makes him a great intellectual hero.

Newton was only a jerk to the media at the time, his 'critics' which even existed back them, that's why he wrote his books in an impenetrable expert only style so no critic could say anything about it.

Newton was definitely a scientist on steroids, he absolutely refused to not know Descartes Geometry at the time so reread it hundreds of times as a teenager until he could start writing proofs for it. He also fought for credit tooth and nail and was essentially /sci/ on cruise control crushing all the plebs

Both Newton and Einstein have had their theories proven repeatedly so it's hard to say who is the bigger genius. For me the biggest genius was Archimedes, a literal once removed stone aged super genius that had a PhD in absolutely everything which was not easy thousands of years ago.

Newton invented calculus to describe the world around us, while also defining the basic laws. Einstein used calculus and intuition to redefine physics, but this is nowhere near as revolutionary as Newton.
