Physicist & Mathematician
On JudgeMarket, Isaac Newton trades firmly in the uppermost tier of scientific legacies, priced as the operational founder of classical physics. The bid captures the Principia's first great unification, the co-invention of calculus, foundational work in optics, and a Scientific Revolution outcome that shaped the Enlightenment itself. Modest offer pressure comes from the alchemical and theological tangents that occupied much of his later life, plus the bitter calculus priority dispute with Leibniz — both minor discounts the market waves through. Compared to Albert Einstein, Newton carries slightly less pop-culture brand but a longer compounding window; the two trade in the same band and are often paired as physics's twin pillars. He prices well above Nikola Tesla, whose cult following is capped by thinner peer-reviewed legacy, and above Marie Curie on pure theoretical weight. Volatility is near zero — Newton is a reference asset, re-rated only when history rewrites its science narrative.
