These are the types of things I point to when nihilists get on their high horses about how terrible humanity is and that we've earned our demise. It requires ignoring the Millenia of beauty, learning, advancement and just literal societies themselves that have gotten us here.
There's nearly 200 years between Einstein and Newton, and being German, Einstein's education in math more likely came down from Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz by way of the Bernoullis and Euler.
Also, fun fact, Newton saying he stood on the shoulders of giants was probably a poke at Robert Hooke, who was of short stature due in part to a spinal deformity. Newton and Hooke did _not_ get along.
The creation of nukes allowed for the creation of nuclear energy. Which is without a doubt the best chance we have at this moment to end climate change.
