If you could go back in time and kill one great scientist before he publicized his work, who would it be and why?

I would go back and kill Isaac Newton so that calculus would never be invented and I wouldn't have to pass this stupid class.

Protip: Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz invented The Calculus concurrently, and his notation was far superior. Arguably, because England refused to use it, they lacked behind in math for several centuries until they adopted it.

I would kill my mother so she wouldn't ground me.
