well Fleming wrote about his findings in about 1929
but Ernest Duchesne before him was the main one who thought of it that was in 1897
but there are reports that suggest that people before him had thought of it.
I read somewhere a guy called Joseph Lister who was an English surgeon observed that urine samples contaminated with mold did not allow the growth of bacteria. and was in 1871.

I still go with Mill though...cause he rocks...I like utilitarians......on that list I'd say Da Vin ci though...maybe Newton (although it's really hard to say, it's more a feeling not that I really could give much evidence....).
Newton spent more of his time doing chemistry than Physics and invented calculus first, after Gaus and Archimedes he might be the greatest at maths of all.
Feynman is my choice because for once I agree with your reasoning 🙂

Yes, I know he did lots of stuff that'S why I thought he might be one of the biggerbrainies...although you are wrong...Leibnitz invented Calculus first.....but nice try.....almost as funny as that thing you called a goal '66....
As for Feynman, I don't know much aboot hi except that I have 3 Big Ass Books to read by him I didn't even touch yet....

Like most discoveries, calculus was the culmination of centuries of work rather than an instant epiphany. Mathematicians all over the world contributed to its development, but the two most recognized discoverers of calculus are Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. Although the credit is currently given to both men, there was a time when the debate over which of them truly deserved the recognition was both heated and widespread.
As the renowned author of Principia (1687) as well as a host of equally esteemed published works, it appears that Newton not only went much further in exploring the applications of calculus than Leibniz did, but he also ventured down a different road. Leibniz and Newton had very different views of calculus in that Newton’s was based on limits and concrete reality, while Leibniz focused more on the infinite and the abstract (Struik, 1948). However, regardless of the divergent paths these two scholars chose to venture down, the question of who took the first step remained the primary issue of debate.
Unaware that Newton was reported to have discovered similar methods, Leibniz discovered “his” calculus in Paris between 1673 and 1676 (Ball, 1908). By 1676, Leibniz realized that he was onto something “big”; he just didn’t realize that Newton was on to the same big discovery because Newton was remaining somewhat tight lipped about his breakthroughs. In fact, it was actually the delayed publication of Newton’s findings that caused the entire controversy. Leibniz published the first account of differential calculus in 1684 and then published the explanation of integral calculus in 1686 (Boyer, 1968).
Newton did not publish his findings until 1687. Yet evidence shows that Newton discovered his theories of fluxional calculus in 1665 and 1666, after having studied the work of other mathematicians such as Barrows and Wallis (Struik, 1948).. Evidence also shows that Newton was the first to establish the general method called the "theory of fluxions" was the first to state the fundamental theorem of calculus and was also the first to explore applications of both integration and differentiation in a single work (Struik, 1948). However, since Leibniz was the first to publish a dissertation on calculus, he was given the total credit for the discovery for a number of years. This later led, of course, to accusations of plagiarism being hurled relentlessly in the direction of Leibniz.
