Except for that whole calculus thing, Newton stole his work from Keppler.

I think it was Leibniz, Gottfried Leibniz, not Kepler, who was (is?) the other half of the calculus controversy.

What absolute garbage. This is straight from Wolfram:

"Newton singlehandedly contributed more to the development of science than any other individual in history."

He revolutionised mathematics, physics, optics and astronomy. To suggest that his work was the result of theft is without any merit.
