For honorable mention, how about Chien-Shiung Wu? Was she of Hong Kong or China? A children's book says that she did the work behind two or three Nobel prizes, work in nuclear physics. She is in 2021 on a U.S. stamp.

I would like to give a honorable mention to one you missed, Henry Moseley, who verified through experiment Bohr’s atomic model, who volunteered and tragically died at The Battle of Gallipoli at only 27. He was admired by his contemporaries and would have undoubtedly produced more discoveries had he lived.

Calculus was found by Archimedes, Gregory of Saint-Vincent, Galileo, Kepler, Descartes, Pascal, Cavalieri, Fermat, Barrow, Wallis, Brounker, Huygens, Leibniz, J. Gregory, N. Mercator, Newton, Cotes, Taylor, Torricelli, Bernoulli brothers and Madhava of Sangamagrama, India and many more.
"calculus" only means the differentiation rules of Newton-Leibniz formula, found by Newton and Leibniz, independently. But this is just one theorem of calculus. Bernoulli also knew integration and differential equations. Integration was developed by Eudoxus and Archimedes, and this is the oldest part of calculus. Differentiation as a tool of finding extrema was also used by Archimedes and Fermat, and by others. Why Col. John Boyd of the Airforce Mafia, developed the calculus to retain energy in high G turns on fighter aircraft wings after the Korean war. EMT. Quantum technology will take things to a whole new level not as good as God though. My CFD add on shows me equations that those guys could never think off. The application of physics is where the smart guys are.
Newton, "One can solve any differential equation by plugging a power series with indetermined coefficients to it and find the coefficients one-by one." Why, a fellow university student in my first-year class of Mech. engineering figured it out himself with no prior knowledge of calculus.

Copernicus is not known as a physicist, but mainly as an astronomer. But he also should be considered in the group because his heliocentric theory laid the foundation of physics. This theory proved that our day to day experience ( Sun rising in the east and setting in the West) is an erroneous illusion. More over the idea of gravity also must have been in his mind. Otherwise the question "Why do not things on the surface of the earth fall into space? " must have come.

@bbhrdzaz In my opinion, the conclusion reached by modern historians which states the discovery of the calculus was made by both Newton and Leibnitz independently is patently anachronistic. Despite this claim, there is no doubt that Newton was the first to develop the calculus several years before Leibnitz's work appeared in publication. And how about the claim of independent discovery?
In letters exchanged between them during that period, Newton is known to have revealed clues pertaining to his work on what he called fluxions (later known as calculus) and solving sums with an infinite series, prompting the German mathematician to begin working on the problem himself. Soon after, during a visit to England on business, Leibnitz visited the Royal society archives and signed out several of Newton's papers on similar mathematics. Yet another possible source of key insignts.
For these reasons alone, I find the conclusion of independent discovery to be rooted less in objective fact and more a product of academia's anti-competitive ideology.

I am not sure about Planck being on the list and I know I will be blasted by this statement but he was relentless about making the mathematics work without truly understanding
the concept. His idea was that energy was quantized resonators, something that was not true. It was Einstein who picked up the ball and made sense out of it and Planck did not
support his work at first. He was a very principled man though and stood up to Hitler by defending the Jewish scientists in Germany later.

Wrong! Ask any of these greats and they would say Newton was the greatest. Another they would mention as the greatest would be Faraday. Perhaps we would have never heard of Maxwell and Einstein had they not been inspired by Faraday. The world was revolutionized by Faraday's discoveries.

I have to admit that I’m disappointed that Josiah Willard Gibbs didn’t even earn honorable mention. I think his accomplishments outweigh his country men Feynman and Oppenheimer put together. You could make an argument he was the U.S. greatest physicist ever and was certainly a genius of a high order. I would easily replace Feynman, and I greatly admire Feynman, with Gibbs on your list.

Without the treatise of the Greek geometers on the conic sections, there would have been no Kepler and without Kepler no Newton, and without Newton ,there will be no Science in the modern sense of the word. Newton is the greatest Physicist and scientist ever lived.

Newton was a far greater mind than Einstein. He invented calculus to settle a bet ffs. This alone would have made his contribution to science at least equal to Einstein, yet did so much more, far more than Einstein. And he did that all from a foundation with modern scientific enquiry barely begun. Sagan and Hawking both considered Newton the greatest genius of the modern age.

In the title image of this video are pictured Newton and Einstein. We have been told they are amongst the greatest physicists to ever live. Nothing could be further from the truth. The truth is gravity is not the cause of objects to fall in the air and it is not the cause of a rising helium balloon. Both are due entirely to density, the denser than the air object falls in the air because the less dense air is unable to support the denser object. The helium balloon is filled with helium that is less dense than the air and so it rises. It is particularly obvious that that there is no gravity to stop the ballon rising. It is particularly obvious that the air cannot support a denser object. Despite this so may people believe it is gravity because we we all taught in official circumstances that it is gravity and because everyone else believes it, it must be true. What people fail to realise is that we have all been lied to, big time. Newton was a very clever mathematician and just because he was the first to calculate the rate of acceleration of a falling object in the air and attributed it to gravity, everyone thought he must be right. What people did not realise is that whilst he was so clever and so highly respected that he was under pressure from the Jesuits to say gravity was the cause. So why is this? It is because the theory of a spinning ball Earth by Copernicus had already been accepted by the all powerful Vatican, but they knew that without gravity the spring ball Earth theory is rendered a bad joke.
Later in history, Michaelson/Morley and Sagnac had proved via scientific experiments that starlight moves in the ether relative to a stationary Earth. This started a huge flat Earth movement at the time a and it grew for some 200 years until Einstein sodomised it. Einstein had tried for years since 1905 to get his relativity theories accepted. Until 1919 he then produced a half page of math, based upon relativity, to "prove" the anomaly of the advance of the perihelion of Mercury was due to light bending and the relative sizes of Mercury and the Sun. His math was 4 seconds of arc per century in error but media promoted astronomer Arthur Eddington said the error was "too small" - the math was accepted and because it was based upon relativity - both general and special relativity was accepted just three weeks later. In the pomp and ceremony of Einstein, Einstein then had the further audacity to say "there is no ether" and this meant Michaelson/Morley and Sagnac were wrong. Ah ha but ether or no ether the starlight still moved relative to a stationary Earth. Einstein knew that science had already determined that moving objects must have a medium within which to move and also saw that the existence of the ether was the weak spot, because it has never been proved. Do you see the con? Do you realise Newton, Einstein and Eddington were all Jesuits? Do you realise the Jesuits have been controlling the Vatican, the same Vatican that accepted the spinning ball Earth theory? Do you realise we have all been lied to or do you bury your head in the sand and say "this is JUST a conspiracy theory"?

Einstein 1st? Dear friend, I'm sorry to tell you that you don't know anything about physics... Einstein is not even in this top, but far far behind. We would never have known him if all the other physicists had not existed. For me, Newton is the real number 1, because it was he who really revolutionized the understanding of gravity, in addition to being a REAL mathematician who brought real advances in infinitesimal calculus (and much more). And I will add in this top, the great Bernoulli.
