Belatucadrus Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 5: Isaac Newton. Without doubt a genius but apparently a total egomaniac and a bit of a shit, quite happy to bugger up the careers of rivals like Robert Hooke and did much to diminish or expunge their reputations. In short not a nice man. Interesting accompanying information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
