Wild that people think only very specific human beings could have done this, there were multiple people working on the same problems, one of them was going to invent the thing, he wasn't the only genius around.
So much so there were plenty of others coming on his wake, creating and contributing even more to the field.

"Greatness" and "repels people so hard that nobody wants to work with him" are not the same thing. Greatness does not require being that abhorrent to others.
It's just that ordinary human do not really rewards genius.
For the man being different, he probably can be Gorden Moore, who just noticed a pattern, and then become monumental figure.
Populous rewards popularity, not genius. And being ignored by them is not a failure, it's a necessity of greatness.
