The Leonardo Da Vinci of science, so to speak, the central figure of the Scientific Revolution as well as a lynchpin bridging the gap between alchemy and chemistry, natural philosopher and scientist, Sir Isaac Newton (January 4, 1643 - March 31, 1727) was quite simply the most important physicist in history. While Albert Einstein's contributions were as revolutionary as they were in large part because of what they added or subtracted from the Newtonian world, those contributions are only a century old, and some of them have already been challenged as incomplete or misleading; Newton's lasted twice that without significant challenge, and the bulk of his model remains valid even now.
