Nobody ever accomplished everything. They all took advantage of great work before them, the books they studied, the teachers and colleagues they learned from, similar projects going on at the same time, etc. "Standing on the shoulders of giants" as Microsoft likes to say, after Isaac Newton. Of course, Newton didn't really discover anything either - it all came from his teacher Isaac Barrow, or Galileo and Kepler, or Leibniz. You and I can't/won't accomplish anything either. Let's go download some more MP3's.
