"Founder of quantum mechanics"? He just theorized the photoelectric effect and he opposed basic principles of quantum mechanics all his life! And you didn't even mention great minds like Placnk, Faraday, Tesla, Rutherford, Pauli, Heisenberg (I can literally keep going) in your original "list of only true scientists".

Moreover, saying newton "founded" calculus to mean that all theories that need "ability to mathematically describe natural observations" is same as crediting all theories to al-Khwarizmi because he "founded" algebra!
