RSSNewton was overrated by British media. He was a hardcore plagiarist. Those were the time where Europe were getting access to scientific knowledge from India, China, Egypt etc. Newton copied calculus form Indian sources, and added Church type metaphysics in his work and made thing overcomplicated. Nobody use Limits in calculus for practical engineering. Europeans made math as a religion instead of just being a tool of abstraction.
See C.K Raju’s explanation about Calculus without Limits.
Newton’s Godly hype was manufactured much after his death. There were so many critics of him when he was alive.
Tesla see electricity differently then his contemporaries. He was non-academic which is the reason why he was ignored by academia, as academia is about settlement and dogma manufacturing. I have read almost everything about Tesla and replicated many of his radiant energy experiment and got positive results which cannot be explained by academia.

So who cares what any jerks says, when I have practical experience unless I am handicapped.
