You just can't choose one. Science as whole helps it self to improve further.
I believe it was Newton who once said, on his rare moments of modesty, "I could only watch farther because I leaned on the shoulder of giants" making a reference to Galileo and Arquimedes and whoever came before.

So basically, Einstein would not theorize about relativity if it wasn't for Newton's law of gravity, nor Newton would think about gravity if it wasn't for Galileo who watched the behavior of stars, planets and moons, who wouldn't do nothing if it wasn't for Arquimedes, if it wasn't for Plato and Aristoteles, if it wasn't for whoever inevented mathematics, if it wasn't to that stone age guy who learned how to control fire.

I probably said a lot of Science's history bollocks on the above paragraph, but I hope you can see my point.
This! We all lean on some kind of knowledge someone else discovered before, and the, if we are capable of it, we expand that knowledge

Everyone here's forgetting Einstein's counterpart in the world of physics... Max Planck.
Where'd we be today without the complex world of quantum physics!
C'mere and choose an option of all potential realities where you give me hi5!!!

OT I don't know, there are so many fields of science and so many scientists that made a great contribution!! Alexander Fleming and the penicillin invention, Einstein and the magnificent theory of relativity, Pitagoras...

Fire wasn't as much as an invention as it was a discovery. If you really want to know this, consider a very important fact: What caused the scientific boom we're still experiencing today?

Here's a few names that come to mind often: Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton, Alessandro Volta, Nikola Tesla, Alexander Bell, Henry Ford and Nolan Bushnell. What, you think the father of video games wouldn't get a mention here?

Greek philosophers and scientists because they thought so outside the box, because that's what great scientist are: the most creative minds.

Jesus.
Why do I say that? Because he is the progenitor or Christianity. The first modern scientists were Christians, motivated to discover God's creation. Without Christianity we wouldn't have science as we know it today. All fields of science stem from the humble beginnings of those early modern scientists. They laid the groundwork of the scientific method from which everything else stems.

I also have to agree on Tesla,, he created AC electric power, where edison wanted a low voltage DC power system. Without Tesla, the electric power grid as we know it would be very different and very limited.

There isn't one, every scientist that's every contributed even wrong ideas has had an impact on our knowledge of the universe. If I had to give the award to someone then I'd chose Edward Cavor the inventor of Cavorite and the second man on the moon.

Why me of course, Dr Insano. Seriously though Hubble-I forget his full name-made some big leaps. Einstein obviously but there is a Russian scientist who I cannot remember.He constructed the table of elements.

Sure, but be warned that I chose the universe wherein we both are liquid metal terminators in a land made out of chocolate and candy.

Nonononoooo, this is the universe in which liquid metal terminators can eat tasty chocolate and candy!
Did you really think I could have missed that?
