This is a question we can never really answer for sure, it is always personal opinion. But for me, I’d have to choose Isaac Newton and Galileo Galilei. Isaac Newton came up with the fundamental classical laws of gravity and Galileo was the first to go against the wishes of the catholic church and revolutionise astronomy.
