But certainly Euclid and the systematization of geometry was a well-established body of mathematical theory. So for Einstein, it seems easy to say there was an established paradigm of developing such kind of systems and he was building on top of it. How much we should credit Newton and LeibNiz with actually sort of laying the foundations as opposed to building on things that others had already established?
